Theater Wit Plans 6-Week Extension of Hit Show 'Completeness'

Theater Wit has announced a six-week extension of its current hit play, Completeness.  

Wit's "Highly Recommended...knockout Chicago premiere," according to Hedy Weiss of the Chicago Sun-Times, of Itamar Moses's smart, sexy new romantic comedy will now run through May 4, 2013.

Completeness "celebrates the seductive power of smarts!" writes Chris Jones with the Chicago Tribune, while Kris Vire, Time Out Chicago assures  "If you don't find math and science sexy, Completeness might change your mind."   

Wits' play about two brainy grad students toggling in and out of love has become a fast box office success for Theater Wit, located in the heart of Chicago's Lake View neighborhood at 1229 W. Belmont Avenue. Performances continue Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.; and Sunday at 2 p.m., through May 4. 

Tickets are $15-$36. For tickets and information, visitTheaterWit.org or call 773.975.8150. Note: Completeness contains adult situations and nudity.

Wit's Midwest premiere of Completeness, staged by artistic director Jeremy Wechsler, features universally acclaimed performances by Matt Holzfeind as computer science grad Elliot, who discovers a cerebral, physical and mutual attraction with molecular biologist Molly, played Kristina Valada-Viars.

When Elliot and Molly strike up a conversation in the university library, they agree to collaborate on a cross-departmental experiment. But while unraveling the complexities of math and science, Elliot and Molly get tangled up in each other, and the unsolvable problems of love.

Fellow actors Rae Gray and Andrew Jessop equally shine in multiple roles in Wit's new rom-com about the surprisingly sexy intersection of passion and programming. Kudos also to the Completeness design team for the sleek, high tech set and rich, colorful multimedia effects: Joe Schermoly (set), Michael Rourke (lights), Janice Pytel(costumes), Joseph Fosco (sound/original music), Michael Stanfill (projections) andKaren LaCoursiere (props). Sarah J. Luse is stage manager.
