Columbia College Chicago Theatre Department alumnus Tyler Anthony Smith ’17, a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BA Program in Acting, is featured in Hell in a Handbag Productions‘ campy thriller spoof The Drag Seed, an unauthorized parody of the 1956 psychological horror film The Bad Seed. The show runs February 24 through March 20 at the Chopin Theatre, located at 1543 W. Division in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood. For tickets, click here.

Following its Chicago run, The Drag Seed will play a limited engagement March 31 through April 10 at New York City’s historic La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club at 66 E. 4th St., one of the seminal venues in New York’s fabled Off- and Off-Off-Broadway theatre movement.
