Trap Door Theatre is thrilled to conclude its mainstage work of their 32nd season with a reimagination of the Ettore Scola film Le Bal, directed and devised by guest director from California, Stephen Buescher. Le Bal will play May 14 – June 20, 2026 at Trap Door Theatre, 1655 W Cortland St. in Chicago. Tickets are now on sale at trapdoortheatre.com or by calling (773)-384-0494.

The cast includes Dan Cobbler, Genevieve Corkery, Cat Evans, Emily Nichelson, Gus Thomas, Jasz Ward and Carl Wisniewski. Le Bal is a newly commissioned devised play inspired by Ettore Scola’s iconic film—a sweeping, dialogue-free production that tells the story of political and personal transformation through dance, music, and fashion. Set to a musical score and timeline of the 1920’s through modern day, Le Bal uses movement and sound to capture the emotional pulse of a changing world. From intimate moments to global shifts, this immersive theatrical experience brings decades of U.S. and world history vividly to life. The production team includes Merje Veski (Scenic Design), Rachel Sypniewski (Costume Design), Richard Norwood (Lighting Design), Danny Rockett (Sound Design), Taylor Owen (Stage Manager), Miguel Long (Assistant Director), Victoria Nassif (Intimacy Director), Milan Pribisic (Dramaturg), Michal Janicki (Graphic Design), and David Lovejoy, Miguel Long, and Gracie Wallace (Understudies).
