There's a correct order to everything when you work in the fast food industry. That's why Sophie's such a problem for her bosses: her attitude and aloofness threaten the food chain. But when a phone call from the local police warns of a crime committed in the restaurant, Sophie's coworkers are given permission to restore proper balance and set things in their place. A mordant and terrifying world premiere based on true events, MAI DANG LAO examines the ways we all get trapped, and what we're capable of doing when someone lets us.

The production team for MAI DANG LAO includes: William Boles (scenic designer), Sally Dolembo (costume designer), Michael Stanfill (lighting designer), Matthew Chapman (sound designer), Mealah Heidenreich (properties designer) Rebecca Adelsheim (associate director/dramaturg), Ken-Matt Martin (assistant director), Ellen Willett (production manager), Michael Trudeau (technical director) and Colleen Layton (stage manager).

Tickets are currently available at www.victorygardens.org, by calling (773) 871-3000 or in person at the Victory Gardens Box Office.
