New Wave Theatre Company is excited to present our very first production, The Deep End by Z. Croix Kelchen, directed by Izadorius Tortuga. When Mel loses herself in a brand new virtual reality product called The Diving Board, her addiction to escapism leads her to questioning reality itself. Is reality tethered to self-perception, or only to what others agree on? What happens if we lose ourselves in our own minds? What do we do when we find ourselves in The Deep End? Ages 15+ Tickets The Den Theatre and comedy club is pleased to host The Deep End on November 19-29, 2026 at 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood. Tickets are currently available at thedentheatre.com or by calling (773) 697-3830.
