MARTIN MCDONAGH (Playwright) has no formal training, but a sheaf of plays he wrote during one long stretch back in 1994 turned him into one of the most celebrated new English-language dramatists of his generation. Nearly all of McDonagh’s plays are set in Ireland, and draw heavily from Irish idiom and culture in their skewering of once-sacrosanct literary and political ideals. He was awarded the Critics Circle Theatre Award for Most Promising Playwright in 1996. Separated into two trilogies, McDonagh’s first six plays are located in and around County Galway where he spent his holidays as a child. The first is set in Leenane, a small village on the west coast of Ireland, and consists of THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE (1996), A SKULL IN CONNEMARA (1997) and THE LONESOME WEST (1997). His second trilogy, scattered across a trio of islands just off the coast of County Galway, consists of THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN (1997), THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE (2001) and THE BANSHEES OF INISHEER (which was never published, as McDonagh insisted it “isn’t any good”). His first non-Irish play, THE PILLOWMAN, set in a fictitious totalitarian state, premiered at the National Theatre in 2003, having been presented in a rehearsed reading in Galway in 1997. He has also penned two prize-winning radio plays, including THE TALE OF THE WOLF AND THE WOODCUTTER. Recently, McDonagh has focused on film, his first passion. Following the success of SIX SHOOTER in 2006, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film, McDonagh wrote and directed his first full-

length feature, IN BRUGES (2008), for which he received the BAFTA Award for Original Screenplay and a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award nomination. A BEHANDING IN SPOKANE premiered in New York in 2010, where lead actor Christopher Walken was nominated for a Tony Award for his performance. McDonagh is currently working on a new stage musical with composer Tom Waits and director Robert Wilson.

RICK SNYDER (Director) is a Steppenwolf ensemble member. He returns to Profiles after directing their hit productions of REASONS TO BE PRETTY by Neil LaBute and KILLER JOE by Tracy Letts, which won Jeff Awards for Outstanding Production, Director and Actor.

Other recent directing credits include MAURITIUS at Northlight Theatre, THE LION IN WINTER and BUS STOP at Writers’ Theatre, ARISTOCRATS at Strawdog Theatre, ST. SCARLET at ATC, and THE ACTOR, JOLLY and THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE JEWS at the Goodman Theatre. His directing credits at Steppenwolf include ART, BETRAYAL, LAST OF THE BOYS, TAVERN STORY, THINGS BEING WHAT THEY ARE, ORANGE FLOWER WATER (which traveled to the Galway Arts Festival), and THE FALL TO EARTH. As an actor, Rick appeared at Steppenwolf in AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY, THE UNMENTIONABLES, and MAN FROM NEBRASKA and at the Goodman as Ebenezer Scrooge in A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Rick’s film credits include THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN, THE NET, starring Sandra Bullock, WHITEBOYS,

SUPPORTERS OF PROFILES THEATRE

9Profiles Theatre

Profiles Theatre is a not-for-profit professional theatre company now celebrating its 23rd Anniversary Season of producing plays in Chicago. Founded in 1988 by five Eastern Illinois University alumni, the company was originally called Profiles Performance Ensemble. Profiles was in residence at the Wright College Theatre Building until 1990, when Artistic Director Joe Jahraus directed Profiles’ first play at the theatre’s current home 4147 N. Broadway - a hit production of David Mamet’s SEXUAL PERVERSITY

IN CHICAGO. The following year, Associate Artistic Director Darrell W. Cox joined the ensemble. Darrell has a BFA in Theatre from Sam Houston State University in Texas and first performed with Profiles in their long-running production of Sam Shepard’s TRUE WEST. Profiles shortly thereafter became the resident company at the Broadway address, formerly known as Red Bones Theatre, and took over all management responsibilities for the 65-seat theatre. The ensemble officially changed the name of the company and of the theatre space to Profiles Theatre in 1995. In 2010, Profiles acquired the former Stage Left Theatre space at 3408 N. Sheffield, renaming it The Second Stage. The 55-seat theatre was renovated and maintained by Profiles as a viable, affordable performance space for young, emerging, and established itinerant companies as well as an alternative venue for Profiles’ extended runs.

Today, Profiles still maintains a small, tightly knit ensemble whose other members include Eric Burgher (2003), Maryann Carlson (2011), Jeremy Hersh (2011), Greg Yaeger (1994), Sal V. Armano (1993), and Wayne Karl (1990). Profiles Theatre’s primary goal is to bring new works to Chicago that illuminate the determination and resiliency of the human spirit. They produce World, US and Midwest Premieres by promising new playwrights as well as established writers

whose work has been seen around the globe. They take pride in carefully selecting scripts that combine integrity with risk, and are particularly drawn to playwrights with a unique narrative style and use of language. Profiles Theatre is committed to producing plays that tell a story in a captivating way, ones that will complement the ensemble and speak to their audience.
