IN COLLABORATION WITH MADISON STREET THEATER, FOREST THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS
THE ILLUSION
FEBRUARY 5-22, 2026
Madison Street Theater
1010 Madison St., Oak Park, IL 60302
A lawyer, desperate to find the son he drove away years before, travels in the dead of night to a mysterious cave. There, a wizard conjures up visions of the romantic, adventurous, perilous life the lawyer’s son has lived since his father expelled him from home.
The Illusion, freely adapted from Pierre Corneille’s L’Illusion Comique, is Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winner Kushner’s most joyfully theatrical play, a wildly entertaining tale of passion and regret, of love, disillusionment, and magic.
The Illusion will be performed February 5-22, 2026 at Madison Street Theater, 1010 Madison Street, Oak Park, IL 60302.
