Rivendell Theatre Ensemble
presents
PIVOT
by Alex Lubischer
directed by RTE member Hallie Gordon
February 11 - March 21, 2026
Rivendell kicks off their 30th Anniversary season with this exciting world premiere by Alex Lubischer (Bobbie Clearly, You Deserve to be Here), a Chicago-based,
Jeff award-winning playwright originally from rural Nebraska. Directed by longtime Rivendell Ensemble member and current Senior Associate Director at the Olney Theatre Center, Hallie Gordon (Eat Your Heart Out, Dry Land, Cal in Camo) and featuring ensemble members Ashley Neal, Keith Kupferer, Glenn Obrero, Artistic Director Tara Mallen with Eric Slater as Assistant Director.
All Kara wants is a giant wedding reception and a solid three-year crop rotation plan for the farm. But when her wedding plans blow up in her face, Kara is prepared to upend the entire town of Milton, Nebraska to fight for the future that should have been hers. A dark comedy about getting your way, making a scene, and father-daughter dances to the Chicks. Save the Date.
All performances held at Rivendell Theatre,
5779 N Ridge Avenue, Chicago.
