gIRL IN THE RED CORNER
(Midwest Premiere)
Written by Stephen Spotswood. Directed by Elizabeth Laidlaw.
February 1 - March 2, 2019. Extended Thru March 9!
Unemployed and fresh from an abusive marriage, Halo steps into a gym one day and signs up for mixed martial arts lessons. Her family thinks it’s ridiculous. Her trainer thinks she’s soft. But none of them know the anger that fuels her ambition. When it’s rage that brought you into the cage, are you really ready to see what winning looks like? GIRL IN THE RED CORNER is a visceral, fast-moving tale of self-discovery, one that allows women to take centerstage in a world so often dominated by men.
GIRL IN THE RED CORNER played at The Den Theatre, 1331 N. Milwaukee.
Winner of 2 Joseph Jefferson Awards:
Best Featured Performance/Play (August N. Forman)
Best Fight Choreography (John Tovar)
