"It began as a scrappy little play called Hooray for Iceboy, which Jay and I co-wrote with the adobe theatre company in New York City. Audiences responded right away, which encouraged us to keep going. In 2012, we brought Mark on board—and here we are today,” said playwright Erin Quinn Purcell. "As someone from Illinois, working at The Goodman feels like a theatrical mecca. And there’s something exciting about creating Iceboy! in a place with such a rich history with Eugene O’Neill’s work, for audiences who are so smart and savvy. We hope we live up to that—in a fun way.”

Broadway’s brightest star of 1938, Vera Vimm  (Megan Mullally), is at the top of her game.  But when she adopts a 40,000-year-old Neanderthal discovered frozen in the Arctic, the spotlight begins to shift.  As  Iceboy (Grey Henson)  thaws, he unexpectedly becomes a theatrical sensation, inspiring the “father of the American drama” Eugene O’Neill (Nick Offerman) and challenging his legendary mother for center stage. It’s All About Eve...if only Eve  was  a caveman.

“The late 1930s were such a strange time—people would go to the theater at 8:30pm, be out by 11, and then head to a supper club...on a weeknight. When did they sleep? It’s fun to cherry-pick history to suit the story,” said Jay Reiss, the creator of the Tony Award-winning musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (with Rachel Sheinkin and William Finn). "Iceboy! is still evolving, but together we hope to create something unique and special that we can’t wait for audiences to experience.”

“Bringing this new musical to The Goodman during its Centennial Season is especially meaningful for me. I grew up in downstate Illinois and spent my early adulthood in Chicago working in storefront theaters, dreaming of one day working at The Goodman. I learned so much by seeing world premieres here—so it’s an honor to now have one of my own musicals premiere on this stage,” said Mark Hollmann, Tony Award-winning creator of the musical Urinetown (with Greg Kotis).

ABOUT THE GOODMAN

Since 1925, The Goodman has been more than a stage. A theatrical home for artists and a gathering space for community, it’s where stories come to life—bold in artistry and rich in history, deeply rooted in the city it serves.

Led by Walter Artistic Director Susan V. Booth and Executive Director John Collins, The Goodman sparks conversation, connection and change through new plays, reimagined classics and large-scale musicals. With distinctions including nearly 200 world or American premieres, two Pulitzer Prizes, 22 Tony Awards and nearly 200 Joseph Jefferson Awards, The Goodman is proud to be the first theater to produce all 10 plays of August Wilson’s “American Century Cycle.” In addition, the theater frequently serves as a production partner—with national and international companies to Chicago’s Off-Loop theaters—to help amplify theatrical voices.

But The Goodman believes a more empathetic, more connected Chicago is created one story at a time, and counts as its greatest legacy the community it’s built. Generation-spanning productions and programs offer theater for a lifetime; from Theater for the Very Young (plays designed for ages 0-5) to the long-running annual A Christmas Carol, which has introduced new generations to theater over five decades, The Goodman is committed to being an asset for all of Chicago. Education and Engagement programs led by Clifford Director of Education and Engagement Jared Bellot and housed in the Alice Rapoport Center use the tools of theater to spark imagination, reflection and belonging. Each year, these programs reach thousands of people (85% from underserved communities) as well as educators, artists and lifelong learners across the city.

The Goodman stands on the unceded homelands of the Council of the Three Fires—the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations—and acknowledges the many other Nations for whom this land now called Chicago has long been home, including the Myaamia, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac and Fox, Peoria, Kaskaskia, Wea, Kickapoo, and Mascouten. The Goodman is proud to partner with the Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum (Gichigamiin-Museum.org) and the Center for Native Futures (CenterForNativeFutures.org)—organizations devoted to honoring Indigenous stories, preserving cultural memory, and deepening public understanding.

The Goodman was founded by William O. Goodman and his family to honor the memory of Kenneth Sawyer Goodman—a visionary playwright whose bold ideas helped shape Chicago’s early cultural renaissance. That spirit of creativity and generosity endures today. In 2000, through the commitment of Mr. Goodman’s descendants—Albert Ivar Goodman and his late mother, Edith-Marie Appleton—The Goodman opened the doors to its current home in the heart of the Loop.

Marsha Cruzan is Chair of the Goodman Theatre Board of Trustees; Diane Landgren is Women’s Board President; and Kelli Garcia is president of the Scenemakers Board for Young Professionals.

REVIEW: The OLDest PROfession Now Playing Theater WIT Through May 27, 2026

The Oldest Profession: Solo Comedy Show About Sex Worker History 
Three nights only at Theater Wit
May 25, 26 & 27

Running Time: 1 hour 30 minutes with no intermission 


GUEST REVIEW

By Barbara Belcore

I was so pleased to see The Oldest Profession at Theater Wit, with my daughter last night, and with only two nights left, I’d absolutely hurry to get a seat. Kaytlin Bailey delivers a fast paced one woman show that somehow manages to be hilarious, deeply informative, personal, and genuinely moving all at once.

Blending stand up, storytelling, and art history, Bailey traces 10,000 years of sex worker history while making the subject incredibly accessible, even for audience members who may know very little about it going in. The show balances humor with serious social commentary in a way that never feels preachy. I found myself laughing one minute and sitting with something profoundly uncomfortable or thought provoking the next.

One of the most powerful threads throughout the show was the comparison between Bailey’s experience as a sex worker and her father’s experience as a soldier, especially the irony that his profession was statistically far more dangerous. Her reflections on how society assigns morality and value to different kinds of labor were sharp and memorable.

The historical sections were fascinating too, from discussions of virginity tests and the weaponization of the word “whore” starting in childhood, to debunking myths like Mary Magdalene being a sex worker. Bailey also explores how institutions, particularly the church, shaped attitudes toward sexuality, women, queer people, and sex workers over centuries.

The opener, Lauren, was fantastic too and set the tone perfectly with a warm, funny set before Bailey took the stage.

It’s rare to see a show that is this funny, this smart, and this human all at the same time. I left entertained, challenged, and still thinking about it hours later.

Barbara is a Chicago-area home birth midwife, maker, theater enthusiast, avid reader, and mom of two quirky, creative teens. She is currently snuggling three cats who are perpetually convinced that they have never been fed.


The Oldest Profession is a solo comedy show by Kaytlin Bailey who is a comedian, former sex worker, and host of the acclaimed podcast of the same name. Bailey offers a new angle on the world’s oldest profession, reframing the story of western civilization in a fast-paced and profoundly moving solo show. The performance is enhanced by a projected art history slideshow.

Blending stand-up, storytelling, and lived experience with meticulously researched history, the show races through 10,000 years of sex worker history in a funny yet thought provoking hour. The performance makes use of a projected art history slideshow.

REVIEW

By Dugan Kenaz-Mara



Everyone knows what it's like to work a minimum wage job. You show up, give a short greeting to your coworker, then have to deal with the monotony of the same routine night after night. And it's no different watching the moon. It's especially harrowing when you and your only coworker don't quite get along. But, when the focal point of your job suddenly goes missing? Everything might just get a lot more exciting. 






I am not exaggerating when I say that Moonwatchers is an absolute masterpiece when it comes to whimsy. It packs all of the joy, silliness, action, and simple puns of a TYA show into a story that any adult can relate to. The performance prominently features a kazoo battle, sock puppet murder, and character sound effect gags that had the audience laughing the whole way through. 


Elijah J. Jones (Allen) and Renzo Vicente (Rocko) share incredible chemistry on stage, pulling off the "opposite personality coworker duo" dynamic with ease. They each also play over-the-top side characters, like Johnny Rumble - the Meanest Moon Rustler in the solar system, and Bessie - the Cow who jumps over the moon each night. Two characters who have a shared past that we get to witness reconnect on stage as well. Both actors are funny, charming, and good musicians, singing multiple hilarious songs throughout the 55 minute performance. 


As a theater designer myself I couldn't help notice a neat aesthetic that scenic designer Jon Yawn and props designer Pierce Julian Howard pulled together. The Supergraphic '70's stripes' across the set and the 50s 'Atomic star' designs presented a space age vibe, that reinforced the feeling of a repetative workday in need of some variety. The costumes by Ephraim Page, lighting by Emma Berry and sound by Matthew Masino did the opposite, infusing the fun back into the show, and leaving opportunity for the space to transform into a western-inspired space desert or a crazy comet-fishing area. And despite the limited playing space of the intimate theater, the designers were able to transport us on a grand space adventure. 




If you're in the mood for an adult show that makes you feel like a kid again, I would definitely recommend this one! 


ChiIL Live Shows On Our Radar. Four out of Four Stars. Highly Recommended ★★★


Dugan Kenaz-Mara is a Chicago based designer, photographer, educator, and graduate of Northwestern University's theatre program.




It is Rocko and Allen’s job to watch the moon, and it is really quite boring. Night after night, they time the sequences exactly - the cow jumps, the comet soars, but NEVER the alien spaceship. This is until the dastardly space criminal Johnny Rumble steals the moon, taking it to the far-off space desert of the Midnight Sun. This course of events sends the moonwatchers on an intergalactic space odyssey filled with music, love, new friendships, and epic showdowns to win back the one, the only, the Moon.
