Theater Wit

Over the course of one night, through a haze of tequila, texting, and Taylor Swift, three teenagers banter, bicker, and push each other to the edge of danger — with consequences that could prove lethal. A play that lingers long after the curtain, Adolescent Salvation dares to portray adolescence in all its abundance of contradictions: sloppy, raw, and deeply human.

Tim Venable’s audacious new play “lurches, it burns, it contradicts itself — alive in ways most new plays are not” (Stage and Cinema). StageScene LA called it “one humdinger of a stunner.” Another Theater Wit production guaranteed to spark conversation, Adolescent Salvation makes its Chicago debut this summer.
