Update 12/21: That was no temporary blip at Redmoon Theater last week: the company announced Monday that it has closed its doors, after 25 years in which it grew from a Logan Square puppet studio to a high-profile producer of massive, free, urban spectacles.
And nobody seems to be at home at Redmoon Central. Midweek calls to the office and box office in the company’s Pilsen home went to voice mail; the online box office deflected would-be ticket buyers.
The bill was hefty: $62,082 as of October 7. There’s a court date scheduled for December 23.
Maugeri did not respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit, but wrote that ticket holders for the New Year’s Eve event were notified of the cancellation by e-mail on Monday, December 14, and were assured that refunds were in process and should be received within seven business days.
