Welcome to Matteson! at Orlando Shakes

Don’t miss this dark comedy that Inda Craig-Galván showcased as part of Orlando Shakes’ PlayFest 2020! Patricia and Gerald are quite proud of the life they’ve built in suburban Matteson, Illinois. They host a welcome-to-the-neighborhood dinner party for their new neighbors, Regina and Corey. The big difference with these guests: they were forcibly relocated to Matteson when Chicago demolished its roughest housing project, Cabrini Green. Classism, internalized racism, and issues of choice/access complicate and threaten to destroy not only the dinner, but their relationships, as well!
