Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy – B Iden Payne Nomination

Capital T presents

Sick

November 5-December 5

Hyde Park Theatre

Following up after its summer hits KILLER JOE and I HEART WALMART Cap T presents SICK by Zayd Dohrn. SICK is an uproarious look at a family of germ-ophobes who have severe allergies to everything from Cheez-Whiz and cleaning supplies to city air. As prisoners inside their vacuum-sealed home and garbed in non-allergic clothing they live each day in terror that a stray mold spore or chemical will sneak into their lives. When Dad brings home one of his graduate students, the family’s fear crescendos– with chaotic comedic consequences.
