Helvetica Burke was one of the most famous and respected childrens authors in the world. Her books had captivated millions, but the life she led wasnt quite a storybook affair. Through the eyes of her beloved stuffed bear, Myron, we see the three women she was - the past, present, and future of the person no one knew.

We strive to create theater you can't see anywhere else. D&P was born in April of 2014 when a group of artists came together to collaborate on a production of S. Ansky's The Dybbuk, a 100 year old Yiddish ghost story. D&P's first production ignited a passion for stories told through a strong ensemble, featuring bold, interesting female characters and themes often centered around the occult, religion and the exploration of the unknown. With their focus on new works, D&P has been lucky enough to present the Chicago premieres of Chiara Atik's Women, Steve Yockey's very still & hard to see, Adam Harrell's The Basement Company, Brendan Bourque-Sheil's The Book of Maggie, the United States premiere of James Odin Wade's Helmut's Big Day, and the world premieres of Paul Pasulka's Gruoch, or Lady Macbeth and the musical comedy, Musical Therapy, by Joey Katsiroubas and Dan Hass.Contact:For media, press, or event inquiries, or to communicate with the Death & Pretzels production team, please contact:Emma Palizza (Public Relations Manager) or Madison Smith (Artistic Director)Phone: (402) 679-1562Email: deathandpretzels@gmail.comWebsite: www.deathandpretzels.com
