FFT issued the following statement:
In accordance with state and federal regulations, The Den Theatre has closed its doors until May 3, 2020. With venue and artist availability uncertain and no firm end in sight for the pandemic, FFT will be ending our Season Eight programming effective immediately and transitioning our focus to the future.
First Floor is eternally grateful to the cast and creative team for their work on this production to date. We look forward to gathering together in the future once it is safe to do so.
About First Floor Theater
First Floor Theater (FFT) stages stories of individuals facing moments of radical change. By combining visceral acting, immersive design, and collaborative dramaturgy, FFT expands these stories to ask urgent, social questions.
Founded in 2012, First Floor Theater has garnered a reputation for pairing some of the most cutting-edge scripts in Chicago and the American Theater with a signature innovative design style. Shortly after our inaugural season, FFT was named “Best New Theater Company” in the Chicago Reader. We were also honored to be recognized with the 2018 Francesca Primus Prize from ATCA for our production of Leah Nanako-Winkler’s Two Mile Hollow, and in Newcity’s Players 2019: “The Fifty People Who Really Perform for Chicago.” Some of First Floor’s notable twenty-two past productions include Hooded, or Being Black for Dummies, Mike Pence Sex Dream, Two Mile Hollow, Peerless and Matt & Ben.
