“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
