Collaboraction Theater Company: Jon June 21, 2009

'Jon' is a futuristic allegory about teenage love and self-discovery in a corporate universe where television commercials replace life experiences. Collaboraction's Associate Artistic Director Seth Bockley adapts the story by MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship recipient George Saunders. The production explores the boundaries of video and theater in a surreal and strangely moving coming-of-age story. The Chicago Tribune highly recommended the world premiere production calling it "a sensorial spectacle."
