The show on Saturday up at the Red Line Tap was a kick-ass return to Rogers Park! Not only did we return to 1998 in style (can anyone say Missy Elliott remix of Heartbreaker?!) - but the true magic wasn’t just on stage… It was in the AUDIENCE. Laughs and PBR, always a good combo. Check out all the shots from the show after the jump, and we’ll see you at Empty Bottle on Saturday!
Can you believe it? We are now at the halfway point of our PBR Rent Party tour. The show last Saturday at the Red Line Tap was off the hook and now we move south to the Empty Bottle! Calling all Hipsters! The show is at an earlier start (8pm) but no worries - the show is awesome. Ken Barnard, Claudia Wallace, Inda Graig-Galvan, Yuri Lane and the Blue Ribbon Glee Club will be rockin’ the spot with us. Also, I think Todd Voorhies is introducing his summer fashion line at the club. Just an FYI. This is the show to be at.
The Rent Party continues… On to Rogers Park - you’ve read all the awesome posts highlighting some fantastic guests - now you’re wondering if you should REALLY get out of your apartment/house/cardboard box and trek up. Let us entice you with… FREE PARKING.
C’mon. Give me an excuse as to WHY you wouldn’t come? Neo-Futurists! Hannibal Burress! Pat McKenna! Even in Blackouts! Tonight - 9PM - $10 - FREE PARKING @ Estes and Glenwood (2 Blocks North).
C’mon. It’s gonna be 1998 all over again….
Come see us at Looptopia tonight. We are performing on the street in front of the Artist Snack Shop from 6pm-7pm. We aren’t going all night, because those days are long gone. Just ask Schadenfreude’s wife. BOOM!!!!!! No, for real, we are doing Looptopia. Join us as we teach people on the street “How to Act Like a Cowboy”. It’s taught by our resident artistic director Christopher Kriss and his prized student Danny Fine.
Save the best for last ey? I’ve been writing about why you should come to the Red Line Tap Schadenfreude Rent Party (sponsored by PBR) this Saturday night. Hannibal, Pat McKenna and the band Even in Blackouts will be there and we will be celebrating our return to the Heartland Cafe complex, which we left back in 2000. This is our first night back. If all that is not enough, we are pleased as punch to be joined by some super Chicago theater celebrities for this show. David Kodeski, Diana Slickman, Phil Ridarelli and John Pierson will be in the house performing plays from their time with the hit show “Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind”. Now if you have been in Chi for than a month, chance are you’ve seen Too Much Light. It’s the show that does 30 plays in 60 minutes. They’ve been selling out shows for years and they’ve seen some amazing cast members go through the neo-futurarium. So in the spirit of going back in time to 1998 to our time at the Heartland, we bring you some of that cast from the 1990’s. It’s going to be an amazing night since they haven’t performed this stuff in a long while. I’m excited.
