FIRST LOOK: In Vino Veritas by Debra Gettleman

If cult-film-classic “Sideways’ collided with the iconic television series, “Sex in the City,” you’d end up with “In Vino Veritas.” Debra Rich Gettleman’s hip off-beat comedy invites you to draw the line between health enthusiasm and potentially dangerous compulsion.

When successful playwright, Lizzie, and her Chicago Lawyer husband, Phillip, face-off to explore the difference between being a connoisseur and being an addict, the stakes soar as the couple takes a hard look at themselves, their colleagues, and each other. Smart, fast, and funny, this play questions the social expectations that shape our modern landscape.

The Studio's FIRST LOOK program is an opportunity for our audiences to participate in the development of new, imaginative theater — to interact with our playwrights, directors and actors to help us perfect a story before it is brought to the stage for a paying audience.

This series of live play readings is a standout favorite…
