First Floor Theater continues their fifth season with the Chicago premiere of Jiehae Park's critically acclaimed PEERLESS, directed by Artistic Director Hutch Pimentel. PEERLESS runs now through March 11, 2017 at The Den Theatre, 1333 N Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago. The press opening is tonight, February 15, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
In an ordinary Midwestern high school, twin sisters M and L are competitive with everyone - except each other. When the failsafe combination of perfect academics, killer extracurriculars, and calculated self-identification fails to impress The College's early decision admissions board, they hatch a sinister Plan B to secure their future. PEERLESS is a blisteringly funny new riff on Shakespeare's Macbeth about the unbreakable bond between sisters whose vaulting ambition will not be deferred at any cost.
The cast features Managing Director Amanda Fink with Aurora Adachi-Winter, Caroline Chu, Matt Daniels and Jesse Massaro.
The production team for PEERLESS includes William Boles and Arnel Sancianco (Scenic Design), Claire Chrzan (Lighting Design) Thomas Dixon (Sound Design), Melissa Ng (Costume Design), Claire Stone (Props Design), Carol Ann Tan (Dramaturg), and Julie Leghorn (Stage Manager).
