Hello theater lover,

You are strongly encouraged (by the cops) to attend an exciting new show called, TALES OF ADVENTURE! 

The details:

Tales of Adventure!
Sundays at 6:45, April 29, May 6, May 13
Strawdog Theatre, 3829 N. Broadway
Tickets:  5 bucks

Synopsis after rad poster...

Each week at Tales of Adventure!, five of Chicago’s funniest improvisers and best comedy writers will read short stories inspired by a different genre.  On April 29th, the theme will be “Horror.”  On May 6th, “Romance and Erotica.”  On May 13th, “Sci-Fi.”

SLATED TO APPEAR:  Scot Goodhart, Robyn Okrant, Rich Sohn, Brendan Dowling, Bess Romano, Kristen Studard, Pat Gallen, Tim Sniffen, Jen Bills, Barry Hite, and Linda Orr.  (Edited to add for clarification:  I will also host and read a story at each show.  If you hold me in any esteem at all, then I expect you there weekly.)

“Everyone is really excited about this,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel about something else in a completely different context at one point or another in his life.  He may as well have been talking about Tales of Adventure. 

“It’s only five dollars,” said Shaquille O’Neal about something that was definitely not Tales of Adventure, which he has never heard of.  Even still, Shaq-Diesel could have been talking about this show since it is also just five bucks.

(Please note:  If Chicago’s funniest improvisers and best comedy writers are not available, then Tales of Adventure will be a rap battle starring Schaumburg’s dopest MCs.)
