THE SKINNY

Set in the in-between places of a crumbling prewar apartment building, [SIC] follows three urban failures: Babette writing [or not writing] her masterpiece, Theo composing his symphony [a theme for an amusement park ride], and Frank practicing his tongue twisters [...yeah, that one is exactly what it is].

Thrown together by a mutual friend/lover/loan shark, our ambitious losers struggle to make sense of a world that is threatening to pass them by. Eviction notices, randy octogenarians, sparring couples, and flying toast collide in Melissa James Gibson's bitingly funny and unexpectedly moving snap shot of urban life.

Featuring ensemble members Tess Cinpinski and Benjamin James Wilson with James Boylan, Anna Figlesthaler, and Matt Koester
