More than just a playhouse, the Steppenwolf also has its own company of (Pulitzer-, Tony-, and Oscar-award winning) actors, platwrights, and directors, among whom John Malkovitch, Gary Sinese, and Joan Allen are founding and current members. None of them were in tonight's show, but I WAS audience to a smart, funny, whimsical, and gingerly philosophical show, with a bit of stage magic, great performers, and a version of the afterlife where shoes are verboten.
It was good solid contemporary theater, everything I'm hoping to engage here. Good stuff.
P.S. The theater in which I saw this good show also happened to house the premiere of "Picasso at the Lapin Agile". Awesome.

I guess this post answered the previous comment/question. We saw top dog/under dog at Steppenwolf a few years ago.
