The play follows Mercy, a coffee shop barista with a secret: she’s also a serial killer. The only person in on her secret? Thana, the Grim Reaper, who’s also Mercy’s sort-of-girlfriend. Their relationship gets even more complicated when Mercy starts flirting with Angie, a true crime podcaster suspicious there’s a serial killer on the loose. Add Thana’s jealous ex, Harmon (also a Grim Reaper), and you’ve got a hilariously dark love triangle with life-and-death stakes!

Chicago’s own Greta Zandstra, a director known for her creative storytelling, is leading the production, featuring a talented cast:

• Stephanie Fongheiser as Mercy
• Madeline Ackerlund as Thana
• Lydia Hanman as Angie
• Artem Kreimer as Harmon
