Coming Soon

Set in the 1930s, EPIC PROPORTIONS tells the story of two brothers, Benny and Phil, who go to the Arizona desert to be extras in the huge Biblical epic Exeunt Omnes. Things move very quickly in this riotous comedy and before you know it, Phil is directing the movie, and Benny is starring in it. To complicate matters further they both fall in love with Louise, the assistant director in charge of the extras. Along the way there are gladiator battles, the Ten Plagues and a cast of thousands portrayed by four other actors.

Epic Proprotions will run Fri March 5 through Sunday March 28 at Chemically Imbalanced Theatre

Why Project 891?

Project 891 Theatre Company is a new theatre company in Chicago that focuses on lesser known and "undiscovered" plays. Project 891 was the name given to the Federal Theatre Project's New York unit. The New York unit saw the production of some of the most inventive and groundbreaking theatrical events of the 1930's including Orson Welles' "Voodoo" Macbeth, Dr Faustus, and The Cradle Will Rock. It is in this same spirit that we "throw our hat into the ring" with a new theatrical endeavor. Join us....
