Speech & Debate

By Stephen Karam
Directed by ATC Artistic Director PJ Paparelli

Having just finished ts second extension at NY's Roundabout Theatre, this
quick-witted and timely comedy tells the story of three misfits who
team up to expose their teacher's online secrets while forming their
high school's first Speech and Debate club. With a script by
columbinus co-writer Stephen Karam, Artistic Director PJ Paparelli
makes his Chicago and ATC directorial debut with this hysterical yet
touching tale of three teens' quest for fame and free speech.

Performance Guidelines

Please be familiar with ATC's performance policies before purchasing tickets.

  • All ticket sales are final. We are unable to offer refunds or exchanges. The theater can provide patrons with a tax donation letter for tickets they are unable to use.
  • We ask that patrons leave ample time to park and be seated comfortably before curtain, as due to the nature of our intimate space, we cannot guarantee seating for latecomers.
  • If the performance is sold out, tickets that have not been picked up may be released after curtain time to patrons on the waiting list. In this case the theater will provide a tax donation letter to the seats’ original owners.
  • Patrons wearing alarm watches or carrying mobile phones are respectfully asked to turn them off or otherwise silence them before entering the theater.
  • The use of flash photography in the theater is strictly prohibited.
  • If you must excuse yourself during a performance we may not be able to re-admit you immediately or allow you to return to your original seat.
