GayCo Productions to Present 50 STATES OF GAY

Fifty states. Five gays. So much exploring to do, so little Gun Oil.

Now that gay marriage is legal in all 50 states, Chicago's premiere LGBTQ sketch company GayCo Productions (www.gayco.com) unleashes its most patriotic sketch variety revue in its 19-year history.

50 STATES OF GAY is a completely unique sketch-variety hybrid experience. Starting with Massachusetts (where the original Tea was spilled), each week the audience will select a different state from a hat, and that state will become the theme for the next show. The talented cast will then have exactly one week to create original content based on that state.

This includes scenes, songs, puppetry, stand up, interpretive dance, magic, probably a lesbian break-up scene or two, interpretive dance and laminate hardwood flooring.

Will we see a scene about lesbian ranchers in Wyoming? Passive colonial bottoms in Delaware? A bunch of jokes about how Michigan's upper peninsula looks like a gnarled penis getting a handjob from the lower peninsula? The possibilities are as infinite as America's bounty.

50 STATES OF GAY previews Saturday, September 12th at 7:30pm at Under the Gun Theater (956 W Newport Ave) and opens Saturday Sept. 19th at 7:30pm. It runs Saturdays through Oct. 31st. Tickets are $15 ($10 for students) and can be purchased by calling (773) 270-3440.

50 STATES OF GAY stars Kathy Betts, Clay Goodpasture, Robin Trevino, Zach Zimmerman and Jessica Belless.

GayCo Productions was formed out of the famous Second City in 1996 and has produced over 27 original sketch comedy revues, performing across the continent and in Europe.
