Duncan Macmillan's PEOPLE, PLACES & THINGS opens this Thursday, June 22 through Sunday, July 2 for only 9 performances in the intimate Kennedy Theatre at Playhouse Square. A New York Times Critic’s pick with sold-out runs in both London and New York, People, Places & Things is about survival in the modern world. Emma, a thirty-something actress who is having the time of her life, suddenly finds herself in rehab. Her first step is to admit that she has a problem. But the problem isn't with Emma, it's with everything else. She needs to tell the truth, but she's smart enough to know that there's really no such thing. When intoxication feels like the only way to survive the modern world, how can she ever sober up?

This award-winning show by Duncan Macmillan (1984, Lungs, Every Brilliant Thing) is about addiction, trauma, and family. Directed by Sean Derry (none too fragile theatre) with Rachel Lee Kolis in the lead role, the cast includes an incredibly talented group of local and UK actors who bring the show to life. Produced by the mental health nonprofit, Two Faces of Jane, this is an advocacy event that focuses on overcoming the stigma of mental health and addiction, which are inter-related issues in modern society.

Tickets are $35 and can be purchased through the Playhouse Square box office. Note that the Kennedy Theatre is a small, intimate, theatre that is accessible only via stairs from inside the entrance to the Mimi Ohio Theatre Gund Foundation Lobby.
