The Chicago Theatre Authority presents Smile CollectorsA new play in development by John Michael Colgin Directed and workshopped with Felix Nothing Without a Company is getting onto the train with a new play. We&rsquo;re hosting two PAY WHAT YOU CAN workshop performances of Smile Collectors, a new work by John Michael Colgin. All donations go to help support the continued development of the artist making the work. This is a play in progress. It&rsquo;s not finished, and that&rsquo;s kind of the point. Come see where the piece is right now. Then stick around and talk with us about it. After each performance, we&rsquo;ll open up the conversation to the audience. Got a thought? A question? Something you loved? Something that confused you? A moment you can&rsquo;t stop thinking about? We want to hear it. Come interact or just observe this new solo show, sit with it, and share what you experienced with the artist so they can continue developing this story about BPD and other important timely topics our society is experiencing. &nbsp; &nbsp; Description: Chicago Theatre Authority&#39;s Smile Collectors is an interactive, participatory performance about strangers, big feelings, and the weird little ways we take care of each other. Come play along, meet some strangers, and help turn everyday encounters into moments of connection, joy, and community care. No sitting quietly and watching from a distance. We&rsquo;re collecting smiles, and you&rsquo;re part of the crew. Chicago Theatre Authority, assemble! PAY WHAT YOU CAN WORKSHOP PERFORMANCE Two performances only 📍 RSVP and get the Redline location we are meeting.&nbsp;You&rsquo;ll receive additional meeting details after registering. This is a workshop, not a finished production. Come see the work while it&rsquo;s still becoming.
