LiveWire Chicago Theatre continues its 2013-14 Season with the Chicago premiere of pizz PARTNERS, an intimate and humorous exploration of modern relationships in all their various forms, directed by Kendra Miller, playing June 21 - July 20, 2014 at The Den Theatre, 1333 N.

Four friends in Brooklyn share everything -- until it turns out they don't. Clare is straight and obsessed with gay marriage. Her best friend Ezra is gay and obsessed with Clare's career. Helpful hints turn into painful betrayals in this spiky comedy about sex and money that asks: how much do we owe to those we love?
