The LIVINGroom is a theatrical assembly of individual, autobiographical performances. The solo artists in The LIVINGroom engage the audience in as many points of the performance as possible, blurring the line between spectator and stage in order to find commonality with each other.
Tickets are $10. Discount student tickets are available the night of the show at the box office for $7 with a student ID. For tickets, call 773-327-5252 or click here.
