It seems like every year Panagiotis Papavlasopoulos and Analicia Kocher produce an unusual one-act comedy that is a bit on the strange side. This year, Checking Out told the story of a woman who has inherited a low-end B&B from her sister, keeping her developmentally disabled nephew as handy man. It takes place in a isolated slice of Illinois, Jersey County, a narrow wedge of land between the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. The only way out to the east and west are small ferries, giving it a remote feel. The late owner's wake on the premises and her will brings some surprises.
Very different.
