'The Adding Machine' Comes to Oakton Theater

Calculating performances are promised as the Performing Arts at Oakton presents The Adding Machine, Oct. 25 - 28, and Nov. 2 - 4, at Oakton Community College's Footlik Theater, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.

The Adding Machine details the life - and afterlife - of Zero, who kills his boss after being fired. Written by Elmer Rice in 1923, The Adding Machine is a cult drama that foreshadows the dehumanizing effects of a greedy techno-culture.

Performances of The Adding Machine are 8 p.m., Fridays, Oct. 26 and Nov. 2; 8 p.m., Saturdays, Oct. 27 and Nov. 3; 2 p.m., Sundays, Oct. 28 and Nov. 4; and 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 1. Tickets are $12; $10 for students and seniors; and $6 for groups of 15 or more.

A $5 preview performance will be staged at 8 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 25; a post-show discussion will be held after the Sunday, Nov. 4 performance.

To reserve tickets, call the Oakton Box Office at 847-635-1900.
