Presented by That Other Theater Company as part of the 2025/2026 Spotlight Season

"A thought-provoking new work" - theatreinchicago.com

About the show:
In this dark comedy, Ben, a former priest, persuades Gideon, his younger "liberal-anti-gun-queer-feminist-PC-sensitivity trainer" partner, to leave their cozy city life behind to flip a fixer-upper, but he conveniently forgets to mention one detail: the house is in a historically—and currently—Black neighborhood. When Ben hires and befriends a local teenager, Reuben, what begins as a “fresh start” quickly spirals into a tense collision of good intentions, buried prejudice, and uncomfortable truths. With biting humor and a chilling edge, St. Sebastian pulls back the curtain on the subtle, insidious ways racism can hide in plain sight—especially behind the mask of good intentions and “wokeness."

Starring:
Eric Olson*, Jy'lerre Jones, and Joe Wagner
