Death and Harry Houdini

SEASON X

The House has been creating Amazing Feats of Storytelling for 10 years!

To continue celebrating 10 years of original plays, we are going to open an all-new production of our very first show, Nathan Allen’s Death and Harry Houdini. The story of history’s most famous magician and his life-long war against Death features the deadly escape The Water Torture Cell, performed by award-winning magician Dennis Watkins.

We will close this phenomenal 10th year by doing what we do best: creating all-new, ensemble driven theater under the direction of Nathan Allen. The Iron Stag King is the beginning of Allen’s new multi-year cycle blending Arthurian and Norse Folklore.

The Magic Parlour will run every Friday night through out the entire season. Award-winning, third-generation magician Dennis Watkins performs an hour-long set of intimate, classic magic and mind reading in Chicago’s only weekly, late night magic show.
