Killer Joe; A Staged Reading

By Tracy Letts
Directed by Michael Berkson and John Frisco

Killer Joe is an early play by award-winning playwright Tracy Letts. It tells the story of a young drug dealer named Chris who finds himself in desperate need of some cash. He and his father Ansel come up with the idea to murder Chris' mother for her life insurance policy. They hire part-time hitman Joe Cooper to do the job, but complications arise when Joe insists on being paid in advance. Because the two men obviously can't pay him before they receive their own dividends, Chris draws up a plan that snares his innocent sister, Dottie, into this wild scheme.
