A working class queer, a stranger, and 1000 years worth of past lives walk into a bar–

or: ARI is the not official manager of a queer bar, and she’s going to have to open by herself unless she can get a last minute temp for the night. Luckily, in strolls BEAU –hot, charming, and able to load a dishwasher. As the meet-cute goes pitch perfect, it seems Ari’s ass is saved, and maybe she could even have a fun hook-up when her shift is over for the night–until Beau reveals that they’re not the last minute temp hire from the service industry app they ordered.

PRESENTED BY Don Julio, Johnnie Walker & 21 Seeds: CATACOMBS, written by Katherine Gwynn and directed by Whitney LaMora, celebrates its world premiere production at Dorothy this September! Starring Haven AJ Crawley and Wisterman, experience Chicago's premiere lesbian bar, Dorothy, like you've never before.

Doors open at 5pm and our production begins at 6pm. There are no late entries allowed once the production begins. Dorothy will open to the public shortly after the production wraps and audience members are encouraged to stay if they wish!

Tickets range from $15-$30 in a variety of spaces throughout the bar. This production is immersive (but not interactive) and due to the nature of the environment, sight lines may vary as the actors move throughout the space.
