The Chicago Tribune calls Be More Chill, “a rollicking production, silly and seriously funny.” Further, the Tribune calls Be More Chill a play where “everything just comes together in a show—the right script, the right director, the right actors, the right time.”
Ned Vizzini is the best selling author of Teen Angst, Ahhh, It’s Kind of a Funny Story and Be More Chill. From the New York Times best selling young adult novel by Ned Vizzini, listed as one of the “Top Ten Books of the Year” by Entertainment Weekly, and a Today Show Book Club selection Be More Chill offers you a hilariously painful glimpse at what it's really like to be in high school and how one kid learns the hard way that coolness must necessarily come from within. Although written for young people the novel became a huge cult hit with both young and old because of its sexual frankness and honest portrayal of high school life.
Be More Chill continues performances through July 6, 2008. Tickets to Be More Chill are $24, and are on sale now. The regular run schedule is Thursday through Saturday at 7:45pm., and Sunday at 2:45pm., at Theatre Building Chicago, 1225 West Belmont Ave in Chicago. Please note there will be no performance on Friday, July 4, 2008. Tickets are on sale now at Theatre Building Chicago, (773) 327-5252, or online at www.ticketmaster.com. Senior and student discounts and group rates are available.
