 )\\n$25 – $30\\nOpen Space Arts is proud to present SMILEY by Guillem C
 lua\\, a sharp\\, funny\\, and deeply relatable queer romantic comedy tha
 t has captivated audiences around the world.\\nOriginally premiering in B
 arcelona\\, SMILEYquickly became a breakout success in Spain\\, enjoying 
 extended runs in Barcelona and Madrid and earning widespread acclaim. Sin
 ce its debut\\, the play has been produced internationally across Europe 
 and Latin America\\, with productions in Germany\\, Italy\\, Greece\\, Cy
 prus\\, Chile\\, Puerto Rico\\, Peru\\, and beyond.\\nWhile SMILEY has be
 come a global audience favorite\\, it has had only limited exposure in th
 e United States\\, with select Spanish-language productions in New York a
 nd Miami. Open Space Arts’ production introduces this internationally c
 elebrated work to Chicago audiences\\, offering a fresh opportunity to ex
 perience one of the most engaging contemporary queer love stories to emer
 ge from the European stage.\\nWhen ÁLEX leaves a voicemail for his ex\\,
  it lands in the inbox of BRUNO—a stranger. What begins as a wrong mess
 age turns into an unexpected connection between two very different men. A
 s texts turn into calls\\, and calls into something more\\, they navigate
  attraction\\, vulnerability\\, and the complicated reality of modern lov
 e.\\nFunny\\, fast\\, and disarmingly honest\\, SMILEYexplores the thrill
  and risk of connection in a world shaped by screens\\, expectations\\, a
 nd the fear of being truly seen.\\nGuillem Clua is one of Spain’s most 
 widely produced contemporary playwrights\\, whose work has been staged in
 ternationally and translated into multiple languages. His plays\\, includ
 ing SMILEY and THE SWALLOW\\, are known for their emotional intelligence\
 \, wit\\, and insight into the complexities of human connection.\\nOpen S
 pace Arts continues its commitment to bold\\, intimate storytelling that 
 centers queer lives and voices with SMILEY\\, a play that reflects the co
 mpany’s ongoing exploration of connection\\, identity\\, and the evolvi
 ng nature of love.\\nAdd to calendar\\nGoogle Calendar\\niCalendar\\nOutl
