As Steep Theatre puts it:
An unanswered question rings through the halls of St. Boniface High School: “Who will help me?” Happy Days Are Here (Again), a World Premiere commission by Steep ensemble member Omer Abbas Salem, examines man-made “divine” power, who wields it, and if they should be trusted.
“one of the most powerful new Chicago plays of this year, heck, most any year.” Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“[a] uniformly fine cast…Kazemi’s sharp direction…Salem’s play also may well enrage you (or re-enrage you) about an evil problem that continues to dog religious institutions, Catholic or otherwise.” Kerry Reader, Chicago Reader
TTS Alumni/ Staff INCLUDE: John Duncan (BFA 24) , Rich Adrian Lazatin (BFA 24) , Azar Kazemi (Faculty)
Happy Days Are Here (Again) Closes Oct. 27th at The Steppenwolf Space
