After the Revolution, by Amy Herzog, opens Deep Dish Theater Company’s 11th season, running through Sept. 17 at University Mall.

The Josephs are a family of activists – radical, strong-willed and happier arguing Marxist politics than facing the effects they have on one another. When Emma, granddaughter of a blacklisted economist, invokes her ancestor’s name in an effort to liberate an imprisoned leftist, she finds her legacy is not at all what she was led to believe.  

Performances begin Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30 p.m., Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $19 for adults and $17 for seniors, with a $2 discount for Wednesday and Thursday performances. Student tickets for all shows are $14. Wednesday, Aug. 31 is “Cheap Dish Night,” with all tickets $10 (no reservations accepted). Tickets are available at the Deep Dish box office Wednesday through Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. or at 968-1515 or deepdishtheater.org
