LIGHTS, CAMERA, DISTRACTION! Sketch Show is Coming to Second City's Donny's Skybox Theater
It makes its red carpet premiere on December 7th at 6:00 PM, with additional shows on the 14th, 21st, and 28th.
Lights, Camera, Distraction! is an hour-long sketch show that spoofs, subverts, and satirizes the silver screen moments that defined us. For film buffs and casual moviegoers alike, it's a whirlwind tour through decades of cinema history that refuses to take any of it seriously.
Writer/Director Chris Kivlahan (from the viral online sketch comedy group Wet Mouth) combines his deep love of movies and deeper love of parody to bring a fast-paced hour of what-ifs, deleted scenes, and whimsical send-ups of the theater experience to Second City's intimate Donny's Skybox theater.
Already in rehearsals, this high-energy, limited engagement show features hilarious sketches, spot-on impressions, and a musical number straight out of La La Land - with a parody twist, of course. It makes its red carpet premiere on December 7th at 6:00 PM, with additional shows on the 14th, 21st, and 28th.
What was actually in that blue pill in The Matrix? Did they really need a bigger boat, or is it how you use it? Does every Fight Club need the same rules? Lights, Camera, Distraction! answers questions you never knew you had. Be sure to catch it in theaters before the studio dumps it on a streamer.
Presented by Lucky Girl Productions, this unmissable show stars a talented ensemble comprised of Timothy Edward, Ella Eisman, Blair Girkins, Tristan Hallam, Hugo Hentoff, and Declan Parker Rhodes.
