THIS IS ART

WHEN: Oct 31st-Nov 2nd @ 7:30pm & Nov 3rd @ 3 pm

WHERE: Rivendell Theatre, 5779 N Ridge Ave, Chicago, IL

DESCRIPTION: You, yes you! Take a look at the poster to the right of this text. No seriously, take a look. What do you see?

What resonates with you? Now look at the character directly 36° next to that image. Are you them? Are they you? Would you willingly go to a ceramics class with them on your free Thursday evening? Would Angela Bassett approve of you two hanging out? QUICK!! Go ahead and throw Lady Gaga's Free Woman in the background and try to wiggle your middle toe. Oh wait also did you know that scallops have up to 200 EYES???

So what does any of this have to do with This Is Art? I have no fucking clue, but that's the point! From Sims The Musical to what can only be described as "Flashlights!!!," anything and everything goes for this quick, multi-sketch show.

Art replicates life.     Life is art.     THIS. IS. ART.
