Chicago IL -- On February 16th, The Tremont Hotel will welcome the cast and crew of Chicago's critically acclaimed, theatrical production of POPE JOAN as they begin to arrive in Chicago.

POPE JOAN will be the debut show at the brand new, state of the art Mercury Theater. This award winning musical love story, based on the legend of the rise and fall of the only female pope, won the Joseph Jefferson Awards (the "Jeff") in 1995 for Best New Work, Best Director and Best Production. POPE JOAN opens on February 18, 1996 and has an open ended run.

Vonita Reescer, The Tremont's Director of Sales, stated, "We are delighted to be a part of the opening of the Mercury theater and the arrival of POPE JOAN. Chicago has some of the best theater in the country and we are proud to support the arts."

The Tremont with its warm, intimate and traditional decor; dedication to personal service; and located just a short from the finest theater and night life in Chicago, proves the ideal resting place for the cast and crew of POPE JOAN.
