The Waiting Room

By Michael Tooher

Directed by Odari Kimani

What kid wouldn't want to be a part of the excitement of being backstage while their favorite band rocked it out live onstage?? Living the dream of the rock and roll lifestyle - the adoration of the crowd, the music, the parties, and the groupies - may not be all it's cracked up to be.
In Michael Tooher's new play, The Waiting Room, working at your favorite concert venue is far from a "dream job". This existential black comedy is your official backstage pass to the art of being a professional technician. Seasoned roadies and stage hands share their stories and experience, as the glamor and intrigue of show business is seen in a whole new spotlight.

Produced by Broom Street Theater at Broom Street Theater, 1119 Williamson Street, Madison

Performances: August 16 - September 7, 2013

Performance Times: Thursday, Friday and Saturdays at 8pm

Ticket Prices: $11
