The Outfit
About the Show
In this modern fairy tale noir, comically tragic Nora lives in a world of shadows, with a lecherous landlord, the world’s worst boss, and a pack of co-workers straight out of Mean Girls. She meets Marco, a butcher’s son and budding clothing designer who changes her life with an outfit. Her newfound confidence leads to new conflict as Nora learns about fame, love, and what it means to be true to herself. Narrated by Marco’s three crazy Italian aunts, with shadow puppetry and magical realism, this story of what happens when power dressing is taken to the max will touch your hear and make you smile. From local playwright and Northwestern University professor, Laura Schellhardt.
