Next Draft Series

The Next Draft Series is Avalanche Theatre's new play incubator for Chicago playwrights. From October 19 - 22, Avalanche Theatre will be presenting workshop performances of two new plays: Homunculus by Andrew Piechota, and body, no organs by Dizzy Turek. In Homunculus, two debt-laden young workers toil in the depths of a decrepit mansion-turned-crypto-mine deep in the woods. As they struggle to adapt to the demands of a distant authority, they spiral, each in their own way, toward mysticism and obsession. In body, no organs, Hallelujah has died. As she descends from the earth, she finds herself after life, waist deep in floodwaters, no sun, seemingly no land, and no other souls in sight. All she has are the clothes on her back and a giant gash down the middle of her chest.
