His first wife may or may not have died accidentally. His second wife is missing. The police watch him around the clock. Walter Dante isn’t exactly a prize catch. Which is why Laura Bakersfield shocks her friends when they find out she’s dating Walter Dante! A dark and delicious comedy developed through Raven’s own Workshop Series.
Director, Cody Estle, states, “Set in present day, Dating Walter Dante gives the feeling of a 1940′s film noir mystery while the characters tackle present day subjects. Dating Walter Dante has something for everyone: it is a comedy, a love story, a mystery and a drama. Playwright Jon Steinhagen has created a mysterious piece that delivers the facts of the story and masterfully keeps you guessing.”
Jon Steinhagen is a Resident Playwright at Chicago Dramatists, winner of the Julie Harris Playwriting Award, and finalist for the inaugural Noël Coward Award. Recent productions of his plays include Blizzard ’67 (Chicago Dramatists), Aces (Signal), Something More Comfortable (Syracuse University), Vexations (Playlab NYC/NY Fringe), and The Analytical Engine (Circle). His musicals include The Teapot Scandals, Emma & Company, Inferno Beach, and People Like Us. He has appeared as an actor in many Chicago productions, most recently in Bus Stop at Raven; he has a long history as musical director of over two dozen Chicago musicals. He has received four Jeff Awards and five nominations in various categories and is a company member at Signal Ensemble Theatre, an artistic associate at Porchlight, and a member of the Dramatist’s Guild.
Director Cody Estle is making his Raven Theatre directing debut. Other directing credits include The Tooth of Crime (City Wind Theatre), The Teacher (The Neapolitans). Assistant Directing credits include Season’s Greetings (Northlight Theatre, director BJ Jones), The Detective’s Wife (Writers’ Theatre, director Gary Griffin), The Cherry Orchard (Strawdog Theatre, director Kimberly Senior), In Loco Parentis (Next Theatre, director Joanie Schultz) and Wreckage (Caffeine Theatre, director Joanie Schultz). He is a proud graduate of Columbia College Chicago. Upcoming work includes assisting Charlie Newell’s production of Angels in America at Court Theatre.
