The Fall 2015 Side Stage Line-Up Includes:
The Best of The Goldfish Project
Created by Shawn Bowers
Featuring Shawn Bowers, Wes Needham, Kevin Stangler and Gary Tiedemann
September 10 & 11 and September 17 - 19 at 10:30 pm
Tickets: $15
After two years, hundreds of conversations and surprisingly few attempts on his life, Chicago comedian Shawn Bowers has finally stopped pretending to be a woman online. But with a safe legal distance behind him, he's back to present the best of the worst from his hit Goldfish Project series, a multimedia showcase of actual conversations, e-mails, texts and photos from years of being undercover as a nice girl named Margie on some of the web's most popular dating sites. The Best of the Goldfish Project is a hilarious tour through the depths of the internet and a shocking look at the things that men will put up with for a shot at a pretty girl.
Show & Tell: Timing
Curated by Kate Carson-Groner
Sept 14 at 7:30 pm
Tickets: FREE
Join the fun in an all-grown-up version of a childhood favorite: Show & Tell! This cabaret/open mic hybrid promises to be a night to remember so circle up! It's time to share about timing!
