Busting Out!

I should have done this earlier, but here it is now. If you’re in Chicago, go see Busting Out! from Stockyards Theatre Project. It’s billed as a “voluptuous evening of comedy,” and you can’t beat that, can you? Playing every Tuesday and Wednesday through June 1 at Stage Left Theatre at 3408 N. Sheffield (here’s a map), it features four original one-act comedies challenging the Beauty Myth: Barbie’s Dream House, One Hand Clapping, Lizzy and Rilla, and *Results Not Typical, plus the fabulous comedy stylings of Francesca Peppiatt. Here’s more information.

Speaking of Stockyards Theatre Project, they’re also hosting a Tea Party benefit on Mother’s Day. Tea will be served from 1:00-5:00 Sunday afternoon at Soliloquy Bookstore at 1724 W. Belmont (yes, I’ve got a map). Enjoying high tea and supporting Stockyards should be reason enough to come out, but the afternoon will also feature a 50/50 raffle and a silent auction. If you can’t make it but would like to buy raffle tickets through Paypal (or to look at items for auction) click here. You don’t have to be present to win--heck, you don’t even need to be in Chicago, or in the U.S. for our international readers. Support the arts!
