Show Synopsis:
Tracing out the struggles and joys of Margaret, a young millennial working two jobs to pay off her student debt, Origin Story is a timely slice of American life. Sweet, funny, and with a bit of an edge, the production looks at the phenomenon of “quarter-life” crisis, without pulling punches, and without cynicism or naivete. A native of Rockford, Illinois, and graduate of Illinois Theatre, award-winning young playwright Davis now lives in New York City. Davis’ Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea enchanted Krannert Center audiences in 2016, and Illinois Theatre is proud to present the Midwest premier of Origin Story.
