A darling of the Chicago theatre scene, Beth Hyland once again brings nuance and depth with her deft ensemble piece, "Clearing". Hyland's ability to demonstrate cringe-worthy human behavior without sacrificing her characters' poise, dignity, or humanity is unparalleled. "Clearing" is that unique play able to explore the underbelly of Millennial culture without mockery or judgment. Hyland's voice is so clear, so honest, so SMART that we as the audience have no choice but to engage with these characters and their struggles every step of the way.

A dark and twisty navigation of a very modern workplace/culture/cult. Particularly good for its examination of one woman's self-reinvention, and who she's willing to ignore or cut out on her way to becoming a newer, better, healthier person. Wickedly funny, a great piece for a female ensemble.

A superb play about workplaces that have a culture of their own and how different people embrace or pull away from that culture. A hysterical play that is so honest and a showcase for five female actors.
