Directed by Michael Berkson and John Frisco

Killer Joe tells the story of a young drug dealer named Chris who finds himself in desperate need of some cash. He and his father come up with the idea to murder Chris’ mother for her life insurance policy. They hire part-time hit-man to do the job, but complications arise when he insists on being paid in advance. Because the two men obviously can’t pay him before they receive their own dividends, Chris draws up a plan that snares his innocent sister, Dottie, into this wild scheme.

Ticket prices and purchasing options:

$8 general admission; $6 students and seniors.

Tickets are available for purchase at the Box Office, or by calling 847.635.1900.
