First Floor Theater will kick off their fifth season with DEER AND THE LOVERS, a rollicking and revelatory world premiere farce fromEmily Zemba, directed by Company Member Jesse Roth. DEER AND THE LOVERS will play now through December 4, 2016 at The Den Theatre, 1333 N Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago.

Qiana and Peter take a romantic weekend getaway to New Hampshire only to find that a deer has crashed through the window and died. Things really go off the rails when Peter's brash sister, Marnie, and her daft husband, Felix, show up unannounced. The dead deer, a mysterious animal control officer, and nightfall in the forest expose the harsh truths of each lover's life. DEER AND THE LOVERS is a bold new farce about being lost in love, lost in the woods, and forging a new path when life veers off track.
The production team for DEER AND THE LOVERS includes Eleanor Kahn (Scenic Design), Eric Watkins (Lighting Design) Karli Blalock (Sound Design), Cassandra Bowers (Costume Design), Emily Breyer (Props and Puppet Design), Sophie Blumberg (Dramaturg), Alex Madda (Assistant Director), and Julie Leghorn (Stage Manager).
