The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is a satirical parable play that uses a gangster-ruled Chicago in the 1930s to allegorically depict Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1930s Germany. Set during an economic slump, the play follows the small-time gangster Arturo Ui as he takes over the city's vegetable trade through corruption, bribery, and violence. Each event and character in the play has a parallel to real-life events in Nazi Germany, serving as a cautionary tale to audiences that people's complicity and lack of resistance allow demagogues to take control.

This production is not recommend for audience members under 13; our apologies for the inconvenience, but children under the age of 5 will not be permitted to attend.
