Top Ten Award for Theatre Professor Witt

Chicago Sun theatre critic Hedy Weiss named London Wall, directed by UNC Charlotte Assistant Professor of Theatre Robin Witt, among Chicago’s top ten productions of 2016. The production also received mention in The Chicago Tribune “best of theatre” list for 2016.

London Wall was presented by Griffin Theatre Company in January 2016 and received stellar reviews and a Joseph Jefferson (Jeff) Award for Best Director, Witt’s second Jeff Award. The Chicago Tribune called it “a richly acted and hugely entertaining Griffin Theatre production directed by Robin Witt, who is something of a specialist in lost plays, especially those that deal with women.”

Time Out Chicago Theater Awards recognized the Steep Theatre production of Brilliant Adventures, also directed by Witt, in its roundup of shows that opened between June 1, 2015, and May 31, 2016.
