Red Theater Chicago Presents YEAR OF THE ROOSTER Chicago Premiere

Red Theater Chicago presents the Chicago Premiere of Year of the Rooster, by Eric Dufault at The Frontier, (1106 W Thorndale Ave, Chicago, IL 60660), January 9-February 7, 2016.

"Year of the Rooster" is a fiercely comic play about finding connections, cockfighting, and clawing your way to the top. Gil is a timid fast food worker with dreams of glory and a star rooster with something to prove. Love and respect can't be bought and that goes double if you're poor. In a world where money talks loudest, is violence the answer when nothing else will fly?
