Help Select Our Productions!
Shikaakwa readings inject Chicago’s most talented actors and directors into a critical step in our season selection process: the moment when we hear a play with a live audience for the very first time. Afterward, Cassy or Brian leads a thoughtful post-show discussion. Come take a key role in shaping our future work and take in a new play – on the house.
Upcoming Shikaakwas: May 22nd, June 26th, July 24th, Aug 28th.

ABOUT THE PLAY:
Inside a house, a house in a series of houses on a fraternity row, a house in which DVDs serve as coasters and drool stains the sofa, live three roommates far past their college days. A thousand girlfriends come and gone, a thousand drinks downed, a thousand parties crashed–every night the same, until now. Tonight is pledge night on fraternity row, but it is not the blaring music that makes sleep impossible. Tonight, these bachelors will understand what their relationships have really gotten them.
