Casting Announced For Shattered Globe's HOW TO USE A KNIFE

Shattered Globe Theatre is pleased to announce casting for the Chicago premiere of Will Snider's fast-paced gritty drama HOW TO USE A KNIFE, directed by SGT Producing Artistic Director Sandy Shinner*.

HOW TO USE A KNIFE will feature Shattered Globe ensemble Brad Woodard* with Michelle Bester, Peter DeFaria, Dennis García, Anthony Irons, Dillon Kelleher and Victor Marana.

HOW TO USE A KNIFE will play April 26 - June 9, 2018 at SGT's resident home Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago. Tickets are currently available at www.shatteredglobe.org, by calling (773) 975-8150 or in person at the Theater Wit Box Office.

In the chaotic kitchen of a Wall Street restaurant, Chef George is trying to stay sober and keep the cross-cultural kitchen staff churning out orders on time. While dealing with two trash-talking line cooks, a naïve busboy and a jerk of a boss, George strikes up a surprising friendship with an unassuming dishwasher. The heat is turned up when secrets from their pasts are exposed. Raw, fast-paced and funny, HOW TO USE A KNIFE serves up plenty of food for thought.

"Shattered Globe is thrilled to produce Will Snider's How To Use a Knife which I enjoyed several years ago in an early reading at the National New Play Network and have been pursuing ever since," comments Producing Artistic Director Sandy Shinner. "The overwhelmingly positive response from audiences and artists across the country during the play's rolling world premiere is a tribute to Will's compelling story and the energy and musicality of his dialogue. This is a playwright to watch. SGT is proud to introduce Will's work to Chicago audiences."
