Artistic Director Dennis Zacek today announces plans for his retirement from Victory Gardens, after 34 years at its artistic helm. Zacek will continue his tenure through spring 2011, as the board conducts a national search for his successor. He will remain with the company as Artistic Director Emeritus and plans to remain active as an actor, director and board member.
William Peterson comments :
“For almost forty years Dennis Zacek has been at the center of Chicago Theatre. His encouragement, influence and development of Chicago playwrights, actors, directors and designers has been an immense gift to our city. He was my mentor. Without him, I would very likely not have become an actor. Because of him, I have certainly become a better man.”
Billy recently sat down with Artistic Director and co-star, Martha Lavey to discuss Endgame.

Good news! For those of you who missed this last month, WFMT are re-broadcasting their show which featured the cast from Endgame on Friday 7th May at 8pm (CT). The show discusses and showcases a few scenes from the play, so be sure and check it out.
For those of you who are listening outside of the US, do not choose the iTunes option on WFMT’s live streaming page, the stream will not work outside the US, so we recommend you choose one of the other options, i.e. real player.
Many thanks to @WFMTweetie for passing the info on.
