Presented by Her Story Theatre

This show is for ages 16+

When young, black journalist, Xan Smith is assigned to interview the once successful, now aging, white novelist, Henry Pericival, her mission is clear. She is prepared to dismantle his career with a scathing expose that will cement her own reputation as a fearless cultural critic. But during their contentious meetings, Henry reveals something unexpected about his past. As she digs deeper, the story she uncovers changes the one she came to write. Xan must decide what she's willing to tell, because in this game of perception and power, the biggest revelation maybe about herself.

The Den Theatre and comedy club is pleased to host The Official Biography on March 28-31 , 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.
