Kidnapped by Craigslist

The show The Los Angeles Times calls "A freewheeling specialty piece with insidious verve" returns home to The PIT after two years of sold-out, critically-acclaimed national productions. This limited run features a hilarious, updated script, more outrageous music and a dynamic new cast. Kidnapped by Craigslist is a relevant and unique new comedy that explores the carnivalesque, cult-like phenomenon that is Craigslist. Combining actual postings from the website with scripted material and live music, the play tells the true stories that are locked inside an online community that has shaped and inspired today's internet generation. Written and Created by Katie Goan and Nitra Gutierrez. Directed by Kimmy Gatewood.

PLEASE NOTE: TICKETS PURCHASED IN ADVANCE WILL BE $12. TICKETS PURCHASED AT THE DOOR WILL BE $15.
