Lottery Day

By Ike Holter

Directed By Delicia Turner Sonnenberg

A hybrid staged reading

A West Coast Premiere

Lottery Day by Ike Holter is the explosive finale of Holter's acclaimed "Rightlynd Saga." Set in a Chicago neighborhood undergoing rapid gentrification, the story centers on Mallory, a fiercely protective woman who has gathered her closest friends for an elaborate dinner party. But as the evening unfolds, secrets, tensions, and betrayals simmer to the surface, culminating in a shocking revelation. A searing exploration of community, identity, and the cost of loyalty, Lottery Day is both a celebration and a critique of the ties that bind us together.
