Season 1
Chicago Premiere!
In Jack Gelber’s culturally shocking 1959 play-within-a-play, Jim Dunn (the “producer”) and Jaybird (the “writer”) attempt to stage a production about the underbelly of society using “real” addicts. Some of the addicts are jazz musicians, but they all have one thing in common: they are waiting around for their drug dealer, their “connection.”
