A darkly funny play about healing and the ways in which we as a nation ignore our returning veterans. When U.S. Marine Jenny Sutter returns from Iraq, she lays down her rifle but isn't ready to pick up her children. Buying some time, Jenny takes a one-way trip to nowhere - a desert community where misfit residents gently nurture her wounded spirit and nudge her back to her own humanity. Award-winning director Jessica Thebus brings Myatt's humor-filled and tender-hearted tribute to Evanston. The show runs until December 23rd. This deal can be redeemed for any date and time.

"After losing a leg while serving in the Middle East, U.S. Marine Jenny Sutter returns to America but doesn't go home. Instead, she impulsively accepts an invitation to stay at Slab City, an off-the-grid community of weirdos and wounded souls located in the California desert. Playwright Julie Marie Myatt pulls off two difficult feats in this 2008 script: she depicts recovery from trauma without resorting to bromides and creates characters who are offbeat but not cloying. In Jessica Thebus's funny and moving production, Slab City is like the forest of Shakespeare's comedies—a semi-magical place where you can sort stuff out. Struggling to stay strong even as grief threatens to swallow her whole, Lily Mojekwu's Jenny is riveting." — Zac Thompson from the Chicago Reader
