The Penny Seats is proud to begin its 15th season with the Michigan premiere production of “The City in the City in the City” by Matthew Capodicasa.



Two women, each marked by loss and linked together by a strange twist of fate, journey to an ancient city—a storied city without borders—in search of answers and escape. But what they discover there will change their lives in ways neither of them could expect. Two actors play more than thirty characters on this wild ride through a city of doubles, monastic cheese, octogenarian vocalists, dizzying bureaucracy, ancient graves, and lives more expansive and singular and wondrous than found even in myths and legends.


Playing April 4th-19th at CAHOOTS Coworking Space in downtown Ann Arbor.



Written by: Matthew Capodicasa

Directed by: Wendy Katz Hiller

Starring: Maggie Alger & Allison Megroet
