Theatre L'Acadie is proud to be presenting a staged reading of a new play in development:
 
Company's Coming by Siah Berlatsky
Directed by Spencer Ryan Diedrick 

ABOUT THE PLAY:
This is the worst day of Jess’s life— she’s expecting company, but her apartment is a mess, she burnt dinner, and her landlord won’t stop bothering her about rent. Also, she has to cover up a murder. Company’s Coming is a pitch-black comedy about anxiety, paranoia, guilt, and lots, and lots of blood.

ABOUT IN BLOOM
How do you get people to talk about the ugly? As nurturers of new and under-produced works, Theatre L’acadie is driven to unearth the beauty rooted within chaos. The In Bloom series aims to highlight early-career BIPOC, LGBTQ+, & non-binary artists through intentional script selection, casting, and direction. Each play is carried through a workshop rehearsal process, aided by a dramaturg, culminating in a final reading where playwrights get the chance to hear audience feedback, and bring their work to the broader Chicago Theatre community.

All profits from ticket sales go directly into the pockets of the artists involved in this reading. Thank you for supporting Pay-What-You-Can theatre by paying what YOU can.
