The Gambler

on Tour @ Le Mondo in Baltimore, MD

July 25th - 27th, 2025

Created + performed by Rawya El Chab + Kelly Lamanna / Directed by Leonie Bell / Stage Manager Lianne Elsouki / Projection & Set Design by Ettie Pin / Light design by Jacqueline Scaletta / Sound design by Omar Dewachi / Illusion Design by Jesse Freedman / Nic Adams (Co-Producer) / Carly Bales (Co-Producer) / The Exponential Festival (Co-presenter + Funder) / Le Mondo (Co-presenter)

The Gambler is a tale of debauchery, inspired loosely by Dostoevsky’s novel of the same name. It follows two old women, Doris and Gertie, who bust out of the nursing home, only to spiral into a world of gambling and sin at the end of their lives. Creator-performers Rawya El Chab and Kelly Lamanna dance the line between absurdity and sincerity, posing questions about agency, addiction, and society’s relationship with the elderly. In a moment when the weight of mortality feels particularly heavy, these two clowns attempt to make sense of being alive.

Tickets coming soon!
