Lottery Day

Sep 20 – Oct 7, 2017 in Goodman's Owen Theatre

2 hours and 30 minutes including one intermission


In his latest play, award-winning Chicago playwright Ike Holter weaves together characters from past works including Exit Strategy and Sender, to create a new story about the cost of belonging and the gift of community.

PERFORMANCES OF LOTTERY DAY ARE SOLD OUT BUT TICKETS MAY BE AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR.

After an act of violence robbed her of family, Mallory created a new one by opening the doors of her rambling home in a quickly gentrifying neighborhood to a wild array of lonely neighbors, hardcore activists and starving artists. Tonight she is determined to banish the ghosts of her past by throwing a raging party and all of her new family is invited. This is a holiday of her own invention – Lottery Day – and anyone could win but everyone has something to lose.
