16th Street tells the stories of ALL in our community, so yes: even the dentists!!!

Following a scandal of molar-sized proportions, the North Shore Regional Dental Society has gathered to debate the future of Midwestern dentistry as they know it. After NSRDS president Morris J. Morris, Jr. is caught with his pants down — and his dental drill up — the dentists can't help but question: in a field obsessed with profit over health, where morality has taken a backseat to the latest fads in composite fillings, how can a group of upright dental professionals (looking for something more... filling) actually make a difference?

Laura Jacqmin’s was the winner of the 2008 Wasserstein Prize, a $25,000 award to recognize an emerging female. Her plays Holiday Girl and Do-Gooder will be developed and staged as part of our Reading Series. Laura Jacqmin is 16th Street Theater’s 2011 playwright-in-residence

Thursday & Friday performances are followed by post-show dialogues.

Running time 90 minutes. No intermission.
