Indie Boots Theatre Festival
Indie Boots Theatre Festival celebrates new short plays with different perspectives on whose stories are worth telling, what's funny, and how the world works. This year's writing prompt, to use "Ella" in the title of a short script, resulted in hundreds of diverse submissions, each competing to be a finalist performed on Monday, April 27 - Wednesday, April 29 at 7:30pm at The Side Project Theatre (an accessible theater at 1439 W Jarvis Ave, just one block from the Red Line). Audiences are treated to nine short plays, fully staged by Chicago directors and actors. This year's plays, most of them seriocomedies penned by women, touch on feminism, sexuality, the American workplace, growing up, intersectionality, disconnection, friendship, and, well, zombies. Tickets are $15 for this fast-paced 90 minute show, with low income discounts available. At the end of the festival, an Audience Award is presented to the writer, director and cast of the winning collaboration. Attendees from all three nights are invited to join the cast and crew at the Official After Party on Wednesday night at Poitin Stil, kitty-corner from the theatre.
