Steep Theatre, 1044 W. Berwyn Ave., will run the Eboni Booth work Paris on June 17-July 23. Jonathan Berry will direct.
Returning home to the small town of Paris, Vermont, Emmie tries to make ends meet while navigating the challenges of being Black in a predominantly white community. After finally landing a second job at a retail giant, her search for connection and identity leads her to a stark realization. Paris, an off-beat workplace comedy, explores the impacts of race and economics on the wage-earners of rural America.
The production is 90 minutes, with no intermission.
All performances of Paris are currently sold out. However, people can sign for the wait list at http://steeptheatre.com/paris.
