16th Street Theater presents DENTAL SOCIETY MIDWINTER MEETING by Laura Jacqmin, directed by Megan Shuchman. Featuring Julie Ganey, Todd Garcia, Michael Mercier, Fawzia Mirza, Rakisha Pollard, and Paige Smith. “Laura Jacqmin’s superbly written script about conventioneering dentists grappling with various crises—faltering marriages, insurance fraud, midlife anomie—is packed with believable dialogue, fascinatingly flawed characters, and short, punchy scenes. Directed by Megan Shuchman and acted by a tight six-member ensemble, the 85-minute show grabs on and doesn’t let go until Jacqmin has completed her moving meditation on hypocrisy and human frailty.”—Chicago Reader. February 24–March 26, 2011; Thursdays & Fridays at 7:30 PM, Saturdays at 5:00 & 8:00 PM. Visit 16th Street Theater online for tickets and more information.
