🙏🏼 〰️ 🙏🏼 〰️ 🙏🏼 〰️ $18-20 | BUY TICKETS Close Buy Tickets Close In this meta-theatrical monologue, Mitra Jouhari plays trans Brooklyn-based Jewish playwright Laura Jacoves as she tells the story of her desperate attempt to escape an endless drug-fueled death-spiral by making a deal with Jesus Christ. Sobriety is promised in exchange for a cis transformation. ADDICTION STORY collapses recovery cliches with surreal irreverence and visceral immediacy. Jouhari-as-Jacoves hops across genres and tones in ecstatic and contagious reverie. Content Warning: sexually explicit, epic tales of drug use   *Doors open 30 minutes before showtime* Seating begins 15 minutes before showtime, there is NO LATE SEATING you may lose their seat(s) to the standby line without refunds.  Seating is general admission - seats are available on a first come first serve basis, from the front of the theater to the back.
