The Pragmatists is returning to Trap Door before touring Poland!

Catch The Pragmatists at Trap Door Theatre for two performances only on February 2nd and 3rd, and wish the cast a bon voyage as they prepare to head off on their tour in Poland!

In a setting that is at the same time a torture chamber, a chamber of the heart, and a chamber for a virtuoso recital, two former friends struggle for domination in an existential conflict. They share the same dilemmas, the same collapsing world, the same despair; they are “pragmatists” because instead of facing the ultimate mystery of existence, they attempt to find pain-killing evasions, which dooms them to live the past over again while experiencing the future in advance.

Runs: 5 p.m. Sunday, February 2nd & 8 p.m. Monday February 3rd
Admission: $31
Where: Trap Door Theatre is located at 1655 W. Cortland St.
