A limited engagement of Samuel Beckett’s absurdist masterpiece “Happy Days” will be presented by KB Productions March 17–April 2 at City Lit Theater. Directed and designed by Jon Dambacher, the production features a scenic installation made of exclusively recycled materials and stars Kayla Boye in one of modern drama’s most challenging female roles. 

Beckett’s critically acclaimed tragicomedy, which The New York Times has called “one of the most unsettling and unforgettable plays in the modern canon,” centers on Winnie, a woman who is trapped in a large mound which is slowly consuming her. While a relentless sun burns above, Winnie will not budge until some change occurs, buoyed by a determined spirit of optimism in the face of oblivion.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. General admission tickets are now on sale for $30 and must be purchased online in advance at: https://happydayschi.com/tickets
