"7 Minutes to Live" World Premiere

The Story: No metaphor. No joke. Child of privilege Henry Crawford has exactly seven minutes to live and he's dying to tell us all the whole sad, twisted tale of how he ended up handcuffed to a dumpster in his underwear – with broken nose, bloodied shirt, and 420 seconds left of life. A dark modern gothic comedy about urban angst, patriarchal privilege, caste warfare, incendiary literature, and yes, true love. A co-production of Unexpected Theatre, Chicago Dramatists, and Prop Thtr. Unexpected Theatre: A socially-progressive not-for-profit professional theatre company in Chicago, Unexpected produces plays that strive for attitude-change, tolerance-building, and social justice through deeply involving, highly entertaining – always unexpected – theatrical work. As part of its egalitarian mission, Unexpected believes in the Pay-What-You-Can ticketing model to allow patrons to set their own ticket price and remove the financial barrier that prevents so many from experiencing live theatre. Chicago Dramatists: Dedicated to developing and supporting dramatic writers at every stage of their evolution, we envision a world in which every dramatic writer, regardless of background or experience, has the support, training, and tools to explore their artistic vision, express themselves fully, and realize their creative potential. Prop Thtr creates and presents live and online experiences at the intersection of laboratory, education, and community building. We believe that theater and theater education are not luxuries but tools for living. We attempt to open up our resources for others to use these tools. Prop Thtr is focused on the development of new work, supporting theatre artists of all backgrounds and experience levels as well as Chicago theatre companies. Prop Thtr is invested in Chicago stories told by Chicago communities with the support of our resources, knowledge, and talent.
