Red Theater to Present DOGS, A World Premiere By Hanna Kime, in November

Red Theater will open the 24/25 season with the world premiere of Chicago playwright Hanna Kime's DOGS, directed by Becca Holloway, running November 1 - 24, 2024 at The Edge Off Broadway in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood. The production features Elisabeth Del Toro, Stephanie Shum, Allyce Torres, Tatiana Pavela, Isabella Moran del Cueto, and Julian “Joolz” Stroop, understudied by Jordan Levene, Haley Bolithon, Jaime Nebeker, and Daniel Martin.

“It is the Fourth of July sometime in the future, and history is about to be made. We are about to witness the annual Hot Dog Eating Contest. The five women invited to this stage have set out to conquer nature, destroy their own limits, and shatter our perception of what the human body is or isn't capable of. DOGS is a dizzying, anti-plot, high-intensity exploration of capitalism, competition, and consumption that begs the question: how long can we keep all this up?” - New Play Exchange
