I Hate It Here

Streaming Jul 15 - 18, 2021 in Goodman's Select Theatre

70 minutes with no intermission


Acclaimed playwright-and-director duo Ike Holter and Lili-Anne Brown (Lottery Day) rejoin forces for the Chicago premiere of his newest work.

If there’s one thing Americans can agree on, it’s that 2020 was not the best way to begin a new decade. With guts and humor, punctuated with story and song, Ike Holter asks who we are in a world on the brink of explosion in this “sharp and satisfyingly foul-mouthed” (The New York Times) rallying cry for our times.

Please note: all performances will be presented with open captioning, and performance times listed are in Central Daylight Time (CDT). Already have tickets? Read our How to Connect Guide to access your Live streaming performance.
