Slice posits itself as A24′s 80′s horror throwback in the same vein as John Carpenters eerie methodical camp aesthetic in The Fog, combined with his comedic prowess of Big Trouble Little China, albeit threaded together on a very, very bad day at the office.
In a spooky small town, when a slew of pizza delivery boys are slain on the job, two daring survivors (Zazie Beetz and Chance the Rapper) set out to catch the culprits behind the cryptic crime spree. Slice is director Austin Vesely’s first feature film after helming music videos for Chance’s “Sunday Candy” and “Angels.” Somehow, this mystery involves both a werewolf and a...

Chicago – The 1960s were a time of historical social transition. The movements – civil rights, feminist, gay rights – all had roots in that tumultuous decade. The Chicago premiere of Basil Kreimendahl’s “We’re Gonna Be Okay” echoes all of those movements in its characters, and collides them against the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The show has a Thursday-Sunday run at the American Theater Company through March 4th, 2018. Click here for more details, including ticket information.
Play Rating: 4.0/5.0
Directed by Will Davis, the staging is a elegant rendition of neighbors sharing their particular angst, and a bomb shelter. The history is symbolic rather than accurate, choosing to expand upon the freedoms that groups and individuals had to realize in American culture, rather than a retelling of the missile crisis situation. The casting is diverse, with women portraying men, African American actors doing cream cheese suburban neighbors and a trans actor taking on a teenage boy.
