American Theater Company announces the addition of new performance dates for its hit production of Speech and Debate by Stephen Karam, directed by Artistic Director PJ Paparelli. The production has been extended through May 31, 2008 at American Theater Company, 1909 W Byron in Chicago.
 
Tickets for the week-long extension are now on sale through the box office, www.atcweb.org and 773.409.4125. The production must close May 31, 2008.
 
Currently in its second extension at NY's Roundabout Theatre, this quick-witted and timely comedy tells the story of three misfits who team up to expose their teacher's online secrets while forming their high school's first Speech and Debate club.
