HollywoodChicago.com critic Adam Fendelman wrote in his review of the new play “Old Town” about Chicago’s political machine:
As a testament to its set design, it wasn’t immediately clear if certain structures were naturally part of the Strawdog Theatre space or if they were fabricated specifically for the “Old Town” production. It turned out to be the latter as this story of Chicago’s political machine unfolded with song, dance, wit, a relatively large cast and a 10-piece live band.
