Summary:
Three eccentric "checkers" at a nameless factory weigh the need to connect with their peers against the desire to heave them off the corporate ladder.
 
Critics:
"(Playwright Richard Dresser) is indebted to Steep Theatre Company for giving "Below the Belt" a production that showcases his wit while reining in his tendency to be too clever by half."
- Kelly Kleinman, Chicago Reader
