Underscore Theatre Company Presents PROXY

PROXY, by Alexander Sage Oyen, Rachel Franco and Austin Regan, is a story of journalistic and personal integrity set to a punk rock score. Now playing at Underscore Theatre Company’s newly-remodeled, permanent home, The Understudy, 4609 N. Clark St. in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, the play is directed by Stephanie Rohr with music direction by T.J. Anderson..

The cast includes Tessa Dettman, Carisa Gonzalez, Kyle Kite, Michael Mejia and Jenny Rudnick. Swings: Matt Tatone and Sinclair Willman.

Fifteen years ago, when she was a kid, Vanessa was almost murdered by her best friend. Now, she is an investigative journalist in a bind and she decides to do what anyone would do – exploit her personal story by disguising herself and interviewing her childhood best friend and attempted murderer. Vanessa must navigate her estranged family and confront her trauma in the age of going viral. Who has the right to tell our story? When we have been traumatized, how do we pass that pain onto others – and can we ever really heal?
