I just received this very exciting Press Release and wanted to share it with you.

CHICAGO (Tuesday, December 2, 2008) – Steppenwolf Theatre Company is pleased to announce its newest ensemble member: William Petersen.  The Steppenwolf ensemble, the longest-existing theater ensemble in the United States, now totals 42 members.
 
“We are delighted to welcome our long-time friend, William Petersen, into the Steppenwolf ensemble,” comments Steppenwolf Artistic Director Martha Lavey.  “Billy was one of the founding members of Chicago’s Remains Theatre, an ensemble theater that, like Steppenwolf, helped define the storefront theater life of Chicago in the 1980s.  He currently appears in Steppenwolf’s Dublin Carol and previously appeared in our productions of Balm in Gilead and Fool for Love.  We are delighted that Billy is a friend from our past, present and a part of our future,” adds Lavey.

William Petersen has a distinguished background in theater, television and film. He is currently starring in Steppenwolf’s special engagement of Dublin Carol through January 4, 2009. He serves as executive producer on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and was nominated in 2004 for a Golden Globe Award for his portrayal of Gil Grissom, the lead investigator.

Let's take a moment and welcome Mr. Petersen back to Chicago!  We're happy to have him.
