IN PURSUIT OF
Performing through March 15! Brady will officially be performing on Wednesday, March 11.
Brady is currently understudying for Sub Rosa Theatre Co.'s world-premier of "In Pursuit Of" by playwright and company co-founder Zoé Soteres. The show is loosely inspired by Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, adapted into modern-day Chicago.
The story follows Theo, a young man navigating the trials and tribulations of modern ambition. Between his collegiate dreams of Ivy-League success, his careful navigation of the competitive corporate world, and his personal/financial responsibilities to his family and self, Theo's journey reflects the ethical quandaries so common with young men in a post-pandemic modern society.
