HELLCAB by Will Kern
Directed by Stacey Connelly
Production design by Andrea Caillouet
May 16-June 2, 2013 Thursday, Friday and Saturday @ 8pm, Sunday @ 2:30pm
Hellcab is a seventy-minute joy ride created through a collection of scenes from a day in the life of a Chicago cabbie. Director Stacey Connelly, playwright Will Kern and visual artist Andrea Caillouet bring a cabbie’s long day’s journey to life. Fares from a dangerous trio of druggies, a piggish mini-capitalist, a benumbed rape victim, a drunken woman on welfare, and a randy couple on the way to a motel are alternately frightening, hilarious and poignant. These sharply etched blackouts and cameos are capped by a stunning and very touching final scene. (Adult content, not recommended for children)

AMERICAN BUFFALO is just an over-the-top, perfectly acted, wonderfully staged experience. There is constant flux, surprising turns of events, new discovery of character…what a play! Business takes a hit to the solar plexus, and so does humanity on the dark side of the play. Still, it is an uproar…fun to watch…and the set is truly great.
Thanks….
