description: In the past 25 years, the legendary Steppenwolf Theatre Company of Chicago has redefined the landscape of acting and performance, spawning a generation of Americas most gifted actors. No other American theater has survived as long--and thrived as much--as the Steppenwolf ensemble of artists. Celebrated members include John Malkovich, Gary Sinise, Joan Allen, John Mahoney, Laurie Metcalf, Terry Kinney, Jeff Perry, Frank Galati, Glenne Headly, Gary Cole, Kevin Anderson, Martha Plimpton and many others. To celebrate 25 years of extraordinary achievement, acclaimed photographer Victor Skrebneski has created an impressive photography book featuring historical production highlights and exclusive portraits of Steppenwolfs 33-member ensemble of actors and directors. Steppenwolf at 25 also contains short, thoughtful essays penned by several notable American authors and playwrights, including Studs Terkel, Sam Shepard, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Don DeLillo, Jon Robin Baitz, Richard Christiansen and Lanford Wilson. The book also provides a brief history of Steppenwolf with a complete production list, ensemble member biographies and thoughts on the nature of theater and the nature of ensemble theater.
