Wrestling, burlesque and comedy. All of that under one roof. Watch a man flip from thirty feet in the air, a beutiful woman disrobe and then hear a joke. Really. Dudes flying around, women undressing and comedians cracking wise. Again, all under one roof. Back by popular demand, Lucha Va Voom returns for their third Chicago show. Want to know why? They have lucha libre wrestlers, burlesque and comedy in one place! Really!
We’ve been getting the word out about Lucha Va Voom throuhgout Chicago’s North Side neighborhoods. In addition to distribution we’ve also handled the printing of materials.
Lucha Va Voom takes place November 11 at the Park West. Please visit luchavavoom.com for more information.

From Joe DiPietro, the author of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change and Broadway’s hit musical Memphis, comes the Chicago premiere of F*cking Men. The play examines ten gay men from all walks of life as they negotiate the before and after of lust, love, betrayal and the pursuit of sex and emotional connectivity. Funny, poignant, sometimes dramatic, always provocative and sexy, the show has been a runaway success in London and L.A. where it has been playing consistently for two years.
F*cking Men has now made it to the Theatre Building where it has been getting great reviews from local critics. We worked with the Theatre Building distributing their promotional materials throughout the city for their latest production. F*cking Men closes this month, so be sure you don’t miss it.
F*cking Men is at the Theatre Building through July 25th. Please visit www.theatrebuildingchicago.org for more information.

When Brent loses his high paying job as an art director for a big name advertising firm and goes through a divorce, he falls back on his Plan B, resolving to remake himself. Spin is a farce that questions our own identity in the middle of a consumerist culture, and challenges us to consider what happens when consumerism ends and we need to rediscover ourselves.
Theater Wit has taken over the old Baliwick space and has been doing a great job with their original and exciting productions. Be sure to check out Spin while it’s here!
Spin is at Theatre Wit through June 5th. Please visit www.theaterwit.org for more information.

Today, 1 in 3 marriages end in divorce. However, it isn’t likely that a woman will lose her head physically! But that was just an everyday fear held by many women pursued by King Henry the VIII of England between 1509 and 1547. Created by The Foursight Theatre Company in Wolverhampton, England in 1999, Six Dead Queens and an Inflatable Henry! is a devised theatre piece packed with intrigue, rowdy good humor and duels of words.
Previously, we have worked with Piccolo on Perseus and Medusa. Now we are glad to working with them once again on this exciting new show! Six Dead Queens premiered last Friday, so make sure you grab tickets while you can.
Six Dead Queens and an Inflatable Henry! is at the Piccolo Theatre April 16th through June 5th. Please visit www.piccolotheatre.com for more information.

In How Theater Failed America, Mike Daisey sinks his razor-sharp wit into a subject he knows well: the American theater. From gorgeous new theaters standing empty as cathedrals, to “successful” working actors traveling like migrant farmhands, to an arts culture unwilling to speak or listen to its own nation, Daisey takes stock of the dystopian state of theater in America: a shrinking world with smaller audiences every year.
We are in the middle of a promotional campaign with Victory Gardens, and are quickly spreading the word on this funny, witty, self deprecating show. With only six performances, you’ll want to make sure you grab tickets.
How Theater Failed America is at Victory Gardens Biograph Theater April 26th though May 2nd. Please visit www.victorygardens.org for more information.
