$10.00 Off Tickets at Orlando Shakes for Welcome to Matteson!

Don’t miss this dark comedy that Inda Craig-Galván showcased as part of Orlando Shakes’ PlayFest 2020! Patricia and Gerald are quite proud of the life they’ve built in suburban Matteson, Illinois. They host a welcome-to-the-neighborhood dinner party for their new neighbors, Regina and Corey. The big difference with these guests: they were forcibly relocated to Matteson when Chicago demolished its roughest housing project, Cabrini Green. Classism, internalized racism, and issues of choice/access complicate and threaten to destroy not only the dinner, but their relationships, as well!
 

"The dinner party is a reliable place for theatrical drama, from the family meal in 'August: Osage County' to the power-keg evening depicted in 'Disgraced' Heck, if you have the right couples — as in 'God of Carnage' — you don’t even need the food.

"'Welcome to Matteson!', the latest from Orlando Shakes, has both the couples and the dinner to provide plenty of food for thought about the state of America today."

- Matthew J. Palm, Arts Writer and Theater Critic for the Orlando Sentinel
