SUMMARY:Theatre Club Outing - "Titanique" at the Water Tower Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Come along on a crazy musical cruise with the Cliff Dwellers Theatre Club as we head down Michigan Avenue to the Water Tower Playhouse to see the much anticipated production of Titanique. \nFind out what really happened to Jack and Rose on that fateful night depicted in the blockbuster file “Titanic“. It all begins when Celine Dion hijacks a Titanic Museum tour and gives her wild take on the movie’s love story. \nThe production has garnered widespread acclaim since its off-Broadway inception\, earning the 2023 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical. Its success had led to international stagings in cities like Sydney and London\, with critics praising its blend of camp\, nostalgia\, and side-splitting humor. The Chicago premiere is a collaborative effort between Broadway In Chicago and Porchlight Music Theatre\, featuring an all-Chicago Cast. \nWednesday\, May 28\, 2025\nCurtain Time: 7 p.m.\nEstimated Maximum Show Only Ticket Cost – $110 (possible discount if we get 10 or more attendees) \nDinner and transportation to and from the theatre will be an option\, as always.

SUMMARY:Corin Wiggins\, Artist-In-Residence\, Performance
DESCRIPTION:“Devising” is a thrilling\, innovative\, and European-centered approach to creating new\, original works of theatre. By putting the power of theatre creation back into the hands of the actors\, an ensemble plays off of one another to craft a piece of theatre in a challenging\, collaborative\, and highly creative process. \nCorin Wiggins\, Cliff Dwellers Artist-in-Residence\, and his ensemble will be performing a live demonstration of the devising process while incorporating elements of their new in-process devised theatre piece Gli Innamorati on Wednesday\, May 28th. This is a show that examines dating culture and various manifestations of love in an increasingly disconnected and isolated world. \nCome witness (and maybe even be a part of) this exciting and unapologetically art-centered space. \n5:00 p.m. – Bar opens\n5:30 p.m. – Dinner ($48)\n6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. – Performance \nPerformance Only Seating – $12 \nAppetizer selections available at the Bar from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. \nReservations are required by Wednesday\, May 21.\nreservations@cliff-chicago.org  OR 312-922-8080 \n  \n  \n  \n
