First Folio Theatre Presents the Chicago Premiere of WOMEN IN JEOPARDY

Thelma and Louise meets The First Wives Club in First Folio Theatre's Chicago premiere of WOMEN IN JEOPARDY, previewing Jan. 24-26, opening Jan. 27 and closing Feb. 25, 2018. Written by Wendy MacLeod, author of The House of Yes, Schoolgirl Figure and Things Being What They Are, this biting comedy explores the lives of best friends and divorcees Mary, Jo and Liz who are always looking out for each other. When Mary and Jo start to suspect that Liz's new boyfriend is a serial killer, they begin an investigation to prove it to her and save her life. However, when they bring Liz's teenage daughter Amanda into it, along with her spaced-out boyfriend Trenner, things go from humorously tricky to hilariously complex.

WOMEN IN JEOPARDY is directed by Janice L. Blixt and features Lydia Berger Gray, Melanie Keller, Amy Montgomery, Joe Foust, Hayley Burgess and Chris Vizurraga. The artistic team includes Angela Weber Miller (Scenic Design), Michael McNamara (Lighting Design), Christopher Kriz (Sound Design), Rachel Lambert (Costume Design), Wendy Huber (Properties Design), John "Smooch" Medina (Projections Design), Rachel Flesher (Intimacy Design), with Amy Creuziger as Stage Manager and Sarah West as Production Assistant.
