Special Mother's Day Benefit THE EGG SHOW Comes to The Neo-Futurists
The Neo-Futurists present The Egg Show: 30 Egg Plays in 60 Egg Minutes, a benefit for the Chicago Women's Health Center, one night only on Mother's Day Sunday, May 12, 2019 at 7 p.m. The production features the company's favorite "egg" plays from the past 30 years of their signature late-night show The Infinite Wrench, which unleashes a barrage of two-minute plays for a live audience 50 weekends per year.
The Egg Show will be messy. It'll be about moms of any and every definition, gender, sexuality and species. And it will make audiences look at their breakfast in a whole new way.
"No matter your relationship to your ma... we all came from an egg!" says Neo-Futurist Ensemble Member Ida Cuttler, curator and "scrambler" of The Egg Show.
Tickets for The Egg Show: 30 Egg Plays in 60 Egg Minutes at The Neo-Futurist Theater (5153 N. Ashland Avenue, Chicago) on Sunday, May 12 are $25 and will go on sale in March. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.neofuturists.org
Celebrating its 30th Anniversary this season, The Neo-Futurist Theater is a collective of writer-director-performers who create theater that is a fusion of sport, poetry and living newspaper. The company has created more than 10,300 plays to date within its flagship late-night event (now known as The Infinite Wrench) and more than 65 full-length mainstage productions incorporating its signature non-illusory, interactive style of performance. From humble beginnings launching the first late-night theater production in Chicago, The Neo-Futurist Theater created what became the city's longest-running show and has grown to become one of the most highly regarded experimental theater companies in the United States, with sister companies in San Francisco and New York. For more information, visit www.neofuturists.org.
The Neo-Futurist Theater is partially supported by grants from Alphawood Foundation Chicago, Arts Work Fund, The Chicago Community Foundation, Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, The Illinois Arts Council Agency, The MacArthur Fund for Arts and Culture at The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, and The National Endowment for the Arts.
