A staple of Chicago theater for 25 years, CUT TO THE CHASE presents six staged new plays — three world premieres and three Chicago premieres — as one fun night of theater. The plays all share the theme “I’m Still Here,” and celebrate perseverance in the face of change. With a cast of 19, this year’s CUT TO THE CHASE is a perfect taste of dynamic theater in an intimate space. The show runs as one program, with the six plays back-to-back, running approximately 90 minutes.
