The Little Theatre Company (LTC) directed by Kaarin Fairfax and Ryan A. Murphy are excited to present the Victorian Premiere of Chemistry by Jacob Marx Rice. Chemistry is one in a series of three plays that the writer has dubbed his suicide comedies.

Director Ryan A. Murphy has described the play as “A well balanced, relevant and timely piece that explores heavy ideas and themes, that will still make you laugh.”
