Profile

Started by the Neo-Futurists in Chicago, this late-night performance-art revue showcases the talent of a small ensemble of writers-poets-comics via an arsenal of 30 mini plays, monologues, and skits. Each act is performed in a random order guided in part by the loudly shouting audience members. Material changes weekly. Performers change periodically, too.

An exhilarating, wildly entertaining and totally unique theater experience

Overall Rating: 10 (Highly Recommended)

What an amazing show! A group of immensely talented, creative and witty performers put on 30 plays in 60 minutes. Each piece is written by a cast member and performed in a random order determined by the audience, which also ends up participating in some of the pieces. We had such a good time. Also it is in a cool little theater with a fun bar upstairs for pre- or post-performance drinks. Highly recommended! And, it is cheap!

  • Finian’s Rainbow

    This marvelous, slightly unhinged revival succeeds because it refuses to wink at the material or treat it as quaint.

  • The Understudy

    Theresa Rebeck’s warm backstage comedy features a thoroughly excellent trio, but the heart of the show is Julie White’s performance.
