In Pursuit Of presented by Sub Rosa Theatre Collective at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...The story is fairly simple, but to be honest, it took 2 1/2 hours ( one 10 minute intermission) to lay it all out and the number os set changes was probably the most ever in this venue. The entire cast was used to change from a studio apartment to a park, to an office, to a park, to a bedroom, to an office and on and on. Nora Brooks Slauter's design of the set was quite realistic, but did they have to go back and forth as often as they did? Could this have been simplified to shave sitting time off without hurting the story-line? I, for one, think, yes!"

Werner's Theatre Reviews - Recommended

"...Sub Rosa Theatre Collective’s world premiere of In Pursuit Of officially opened at the Greenhouse Theater Center on March 5, 2026. Inspired by Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, playwright and company co-founder Zoé Soteres brings the novel’s enduring themes of loneliness, toxic masculinity, cynicism, and psychological pressure into modern-day Chicago. The result is an emotionally charged production that reflects the company’s mission to uplift young artists while staging politically and socially conscious work."
