Based on the Fox movie of the same name, the hit musical THE FULL MONTY tells the story of a group of unemployed American male steel-mill workers who venture into stripping to provide for their families. In the process, they learn to let go of prejudices, insecurities, and even their self-definitions -baring their hearts and souls as much as their skins.

"We are thrilled to announce this extremely talented ensemble of performers - the first non-Equity cast to perform this show in Chicago. And within the intimate confines of Theater Wit, we are excited to connect with audience members up close and take them with us on this joyous roller coaster ride," comments director John D. Glover.

The production team for THE FULL MONTY includes: Ashley Ann Woods (scenic design), Angela Enos (costume design), Cat Wilson (lighting design), Mike Patrick (sound design), Johnny Buranosky (props design), Gordon Granger (technical director), Erin Rourke (wardrobe head), Michael Mulhearn (assistant director), Kasey Alfonso (assistant choreographer) and Kait Samuels (stage manager).
