'Come Together' At The MOP TOP FESTIVAL Opening 3/20

Fans "Come Together" at a Beatles Festival to celebrate the greatest band of all time. First, second, and third impressions can be deceiving, but one thing you can count on... The Beatles.

Factory Theater's Artistic Director Scott OKen takes a humorous look at fan culture and The Beatles in his new comedy, Mop Top Festival. Various bands and fans converge on the Hyatt Regency O'Hare to celebrate the Fab Four, but will it be for the last time? Will the new guy score a lunchbox? What about "The Magical Mystery Tour"? Will "The Beatles Mentalist" provide the answers? Find out in Mop Top Festival, the first show of the Factory Theater's 17th season.
