A World Premiere Work
by Jacob Juntunen
directed by Rachel Edwards Harvith

Produced by Mortar Theatre

The Athenaeum Theatre
September 3rd to 26th, 2010

Her job threatened, a reporter from Chicago’s Gold Coast must write a series on public housing, gentrification, and the prison industry. But when she moves into the infamous Cabrini Green projects, she tries to help with the legal problems of a young man willing to get out by any means necessary. In the end, they both find themselves lost in the tunnels that seem to connect everything Under America.
