Adolescent Salvation at Theater Wit

Adolescent Salvation, written by Tim Venable and directed by Guillermo Cienfuegos, receives its Chicago premiere at Theater Wit following its critically acclaimed world premiere at Rogue Machine in Los Angeles. 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. The play begins light and funny before shifting into something far darker, its tonal shifts as natural as the mood swings of youth, portraying adolescence in all its contradictions: sloppy, raw, and deeply human.
