"The Lucky Chance" follows "R.U.R." in Head Trick's 2024 season entitled "Taken for Granted," which asks: what happens when the supporting roles start getting their own ideas?
This activity is made possible in part by a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General Assembly and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
