direction street teams have been hard at work the past few weeks promoting House Theatre of Chicago’s latest production, All the Fame of Lofty Deeds. We’ve already completed a number of hand-to-hand flyer distributions at shows around Chicago including the Bob Dylan run at the Aragon Ballroom. We’re also distributing handbills and posters to neighborhoods and several of our specialty routes including our theatre route, bar & pub route, and our “hipster” route. To top it all off, we printed all of the promotional materials in-house at direction printworks!
Written by rock journalist Mark Guarino and featuring the music and artwork of Bloodshot Records recording artist Jon Langford, this phantasmic journey into the mind of a fictional country music legend is what an episode of Howdy Doody might look like if it were directed by David Lynch. Sadly reflective and yet hilariously surreal, the show mixes rock biography, live music and stunning visual effects to tell a tripped out tale of the demise of America’s last living cowboy.
All the Fame of Lofty Deeds opens Thursday, November 12th at Chopin Theatre in Wicker Park. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by clicking here.
