Evanston Salt Costs Climbing

Evanston Salt Costs Climbing

Presented by  First Floor Theatre

Winters keep getting worse in Evanston, IL, where salt truck drivers Peter and Basil battle the ice and snow and pass the time with jokes and stories. But what’s with this creeping sense of dread? Is it because their boss Maiworm has noble visions of new green technology that would make their jobs obsolete? Or is there a more terrifying warning calling out from under these roads? At least they have each other, right?

Pulitzer Prize finalist Will Arbery confronts humanity’s darkest fears with humor, warmth and the fortitude of municipal public servants in this play about climate and change.

In lieu of industry/student affiliation pricing, we have a limited number of $10 access tickets available for all public performances. If a standard GA or pay-it-forward ticket is comfortable for you, please purchase at that tier and leave the access tickets for those who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend! Higher price tickets help make the access tickets possible as well as make the art you’re enjoying tonight — and will enjoy at future FFT shows — possible. All tickets are GA, regardless of price. If you’d like to support us beyond a full-price ticket — thank you! — there’s a donation option at checkout as well.

The Den Theatre and comedy club is pleased to host Evanston Salt Costs Climbing on May 15 - June 14, 2025 at 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood.

Tickets are currently available at thedentheatre.com or by calling (773) 697-3830.
