The Last Word at The Last Word

The Last Word, created by Declan Grogan, announces extension performance dates each month from September to December, at the iO Theater, 1501 N. Kingsbury St.

The Last Word is the ONLY craft cocktail progression paired with a screenplay. The story is based on Chartreuse, a real-life liqueur that sells millions of bottles every year, but only two people in the world know how to make it. When Mike finds one dying in the woods and is given the only known copy of the recipe, he has to decide whether to return it to the monastery that keeps it safe or die trying. Audiences may experience a high-action comedy script complete with lights, sound, music and other fun surprises throughout the night, including four cocktails crafted specifically for each act of the show. Finally, at The Last Word, there is only one rule: No one knows what will happen tonight. Content warning: flashing lights, loud sounds, profanity and depictions of violence.

The running time is two hours and 30 minutes, including an intermission. The performance schedule through December is Thursday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m., followed by Friday, Oct. 30, Friday, Nov. 20 and Friday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. Ticket prices are $50 for both general admission and the drink package, which includes four specialty cocktails and $20 for general admission tickets without the cocktail experience.
