You Will Get Sick
By Noah Diaz, directed by Audrey Francis
June 5 - July 13, 2025
IN THE DOWNSTAIRS THEATER
A young man with a secret. An older woman who will listen. A predatory flock of birds. An upcoming audition for The Wizard of Oz. Welcome to You Will Get Sick, a wildly imaginative new play that traces the touching, hilarious, heartbreaking saga of one man’s illness and his unlikely caretaker’s pursuit of her dreams.
Admired as “lively, surreal and surprising” by the New York Times, Noah Diaz’s Chicago Debut is equal parts buddy-comedy, form-bending experiment and sober meditation on mortality.
