The Off-Broadway cult hit returns this year to Chicago for the holiday season!  Come see the show that pokes fun at L. Ron Hubbard and all of his clones. The Chicago Tribune describes A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pagent as  having “a real aura of homemade sophistication, and it uses this very intimate theater to great comic effect.”

We will be launching an extensive promotional campaign and distribution for A Red Orchid Theatre, bringing handbills and posters to all corners of the city. There will be plenty of jokes involving e-meters, Tom Cruise, and Hubbard himself.  Be sure to see the show while it’s here!

A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pagent is at A Red Orchid Theatre through January 3rd.

Prepare yourselves for the ultimate holiday show with Trans-Siberian Orchestra! Making it’s way to Chicago for two performances, TSO is sure to blow the minds of fans old and new as they rip through holiday classics, as well as cuts from their new double album Night Castle.

We are helping our friends at Live Nation promote the upcoming shows by executing several hand-to-hand flyer distributions this week.  Our street team will be visiting Christkindlmarket, the new ice rink at Wrigley Field, and many other holiday events throughout the city.  Keep an eye out for us, and be sure to grab a handbill!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra is at the Allstate Arena for two performances on December 26th.  Please visit www.trans-siberian.com for more information.

Watch out L. Ron Hubbard followers!  The show that dares to poke fun at Scientology comes to the Northshore just in time for the holidays!  The Next Theatre is proud to present Kyle Jarrow’s holiday hit! Eight  kids star in this hilarious musical parody celebrating the life of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. The controversial teachings of the church are dissected against the backdrop of a traditional nativity play.

We have been distributing flyers and posters throughout the city and the Northshore.  Considered an instant cult classic, AVMUCSP is only playing for a limited time, so be sure to see it before it’s gone, or it gets shut down by the Church of Scientology!

This Christmas season, American Theatre Company puts a unique spin on a holiday favorite. ATC transforms into a 1940’s radio studio to tell Capra’s classic story of one man’s effect on his community.

We always enjoy working on unique theater projects, and are in the middle of distributing posters and flyers in the city and the north shore suburbs for A Wonderful Life.
