More about A Cry of Players
“Intimate, literate theater aimed at those with serious, curious minds.” — Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“Why doesn't New York have more Off-Broadway companies like TimeLine?”
“I can't give you a simple answer to that tricky question, but I can tell you this: The fact that we don't is one of the many reasons why I've come to feel that the Windy City is blowing the Big Apple out of its once-secure spot at the top of America's theatrical tree. ”
— Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
“Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.” — Edmund Burke
“A combination of panache and physical dynamism that I find altogether irresistible.”
“The more I see of Chicago’s TimeLine Theatre Company, the more impressed I am ... TimeLine takes care to choose interesting plays, then mounts them with a combination of panache and physical dynamism that I find altogether irresistible.”
— Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal
“We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.” — George Bernard Shaw
