This captivating, fast-paced comedy by Richard Gustin looks at launching a "fresh start." An actor answers the audition notice of a highly acclaimed director and finds herself navigating his outlandish creative process. This tour de force comedy asks the question: "What would you do for a dream?"

The original production at the New York International Fringe Festival starred Broadway actor William Youmans and Allison Minick and premiered at the 2015 New York International Fringe Festival to critical and audience acclaim. "The most nonstop laughs at FringeNYC this year (2015) were provided by a show about theatre... simultaneously comedic and thought-provoking," said HYReviews.com about the New York production and Theatre in The Now wrote, "the script Gustin has written is wickedly smart. The dialogue is snappy, the conversations are genius. . . There was never a dull moment and every beat has a purpose. The storytelling is sharp and precise."

Note: This production includes themes of power imbalance and is recommended for ages 15 and older.

The Chicago production proudly features Will Klinger and Kelly Anne Clark in the lead roles.

Being Seen's creative team includes Richard Gustin (director), Lydia Goble LaGue (production stage manager), Guy Wicke (male understudy), Gabrielle Johnsen (female understudy), Gabe Gorsline (lighting designer), Max McNeal Martin (media consultant) and Vanessa Ellis (production intern).
