Set in 1984, Lane Call: A Night of Closing follows Becky, Billy and the gang after a closing shift at the local Venture before a big inspection the next morning. There is a huge party happening after work and they just might have to figure out their future. They join forces to get all the work done which means facing end caps of Speed Stick and racing to get those carts collected.

From writing workshops to the closing night bash, Factory shows are a unique experience that fits its exacting standards: original, bold, and full-tilt. Its shameless ensemble are ambassadors of a good time, making certain that Chicago remains heartily entertained. For more information, visit TheFactoryTheater.com.
