Entertainment Buffet is seeking actors age 20-75 of all ethnicities to audition for its new play, "How Does That Make You Feel?"

The play is built around a therapist and his patients, some of whom visit one evening in plans to have one final session with him. They throw a big raging party, like it's their last night on earth, because in the morning, they plan to all take their own lives. Shenanigans and antics ensue in this farcical absurd dark comedy, which takes inspirations from films such as Clue, Death At A Funeral, and In Bruges.

Auditions will be held at The Annoyance Theater & Bar Studio B 851 W Belmont Ave Chicago, IL 60657

Audition Dates:
June 4: 2:30pm-6:30pm
June 4: Callbacks 7-9pm
