    The Chicago Landmark Project chronicles all twelve short plays produced by Theatre Seven of Chicago as part of a World Premiere theatrical event paying tribute to the people and places of the Windy City. Using distinct locations in zip codes from Rogers Park to the South Side, The Chicago Landmark Project offers twelve diverse snapshots of Chicago life from present day to the distant past. From famous landmarks like Navy Pier to only-in-Chicago places like the Logan Square Farmers Market and Riverview Amusement Park, The Chicago Landmark Project uses location to create an emotional geography of life by the lake. "...as good a portrait of the diversity of this city as you can currently find." - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune "...this Landmark Project should unquestionably become an annual event." - Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times

    Sophy thinks she's the holy whore, Miriam runs from the family, and Justin tries to keep them all together. These three cousins with uncanny psychic abilities embark on a strange road trip in order to say goodbye. Family, mysticism, sex, and Judaism. "Brooke Berman's play UNTIL WE FIND EACH OTHER ... has two important things going for it: an intriguing subject matter (the nature of faith) that rarely gets explored in the theater and a clear understanding of the way time and place can be quickly fractured and collaged in live theater ... it's not often that you want to hear more from a play's characters. The six people Berman has created are so distinctive and conflicted that they really keep you guessing. At the heart of this strange but gently mystical 90-minute drama ... are three American Jews ― cousins who are so close they might be siblings, and at the same time so different they might be from far-flung planets. Everyone is searching for something in this play, and while that in itself is nothing new, the talk about love and experience and spirituality is complicated, yearning, honest and embattled. And in true Talmudic style, there are far more questions than simple answers. UNTIL WE FIND EACH OTHER is a play in which everybody is wrestling with angels. And their battles are worth observing." -Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun Times

    Twenty-one-year-old It-Girl Abby and her plucky best friend, Clea, embark on a spur-of-the-moment revenge trip to London - Abby, in pursuit of the young novelist who has cannibalized her in his literary debut and Clea desperately seeking Madonna. "... Brooke Berman's delicious literary comedy ... Twisted obsession is just one of the themes that Berman navigates with skill and humor in this sharp satire. In addition, her eloquent, self-aware characters mull over issues of hero-worship and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, as it relates to fact and fiction: Seeing oneself refracted in a novel can lead to an identity crisis for the subject ... Berman's tale, which wriggles between past, present and the sub-Nabokovian world of the book ... this hip skewering of sexual and literary politics is more than just a pose." -David Cote, Time Out New York
