See what the critics are saying about Redmoon’s new Jeff-recommended production:

“A haunted and haunting production… a masterful work of art” -The Sun-Times

“Redmoon’s latest marvel… engaging and frequently heartbreaking” -The Chicago Tribune

“A haunting and forlorn meditation on loss, regret, and the longing for redemption… deeply affecting” -The Chicago Reader

“An artfully crafted meditation on loss and grief and human failure and forgiveness… wonderful theater” -The Daily Herald

“Beautiful show… an audio visual treat and a fine piece of artistic story telling” -Chicagocritic.com

“A visual spectacle intended for grown-ups… original, arresting visuals rendered with ramshackle-yet-confident elegance” -Time Out Chicago

Boneyard Prayer explores struggle, sorrow, and salvation, drawing from such varied sources as William Kennedy’s Ironweed, Dante’s Inferno, T.S. Eliot’s The Hollow Men, tramp art, Santos sculpture, and other period literature, music, and art. Boneyard Prayer tells a Depression-era tale of one man’s fractured life and ultimate redemption using various forms of puppetry and shadow images, along with extraordinary music inspired by the songs of the age.

Conceived and directed by Frank Maugeri, with original music by Charles Kim. Text and lyrics by Seth Bockley.

Boneyard Prayer deals with mature themes, and may not be suitable for children.
