Twas the days after Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Except for a monster or two.

Zombie Santa's days are past
And nary a brain pan in sight.

Screech into the night,
And understand the fright
This merry jingle jangle
Is only a prelude mangle;
The real fun, the blood
The bones, the gooey bits
Are soon to follow you Miss.

Scream loudly if you want to
You'll still be a puddle of goo.

So, have fun, one and all.

Be merry with the scary
Seek joy, understanding
Hard work and effort
Mass production sucks
But the Horror never ends.

Be at peace, be at odds
With the moment, the meter
And comes wisdom my dear.

Keep killing 'em, stay dead
Don't forget to shoot the head
Hope your Christmas was good
The New Year will be even better!

"I think I have just seen the future of American Theatre.

—Michael Bourne, Circle Repertory Company

“Spiritually barren lives given meaning by fundamentalist religion. Comfortable lifestyles devoid of passion. And the finality of the gun. All reflect what happened to American values . . . and they form the subject of Edward Crosby Wells’ challenging new play, Flowers out of Season . . . one of the best things this innovative theater has done.

—Jeff Bradley, Denver Post

*This play contains violence, sexual themes and language. There are also gunshot sound effects.

Disturbed II

This year Metromix has described Disturbed as:
“Disturbed II” is not a haunted house, per se, but this 15-minute play by Oracle Productions just might be more bone-chilling than any haunted spectacle.


Last year Disturbed enjoyed a Sold out run; dont be left behind this year. Secure your tickets now! You can buy online, by clicking the Buy Tickets link in the lefthand panel.


Last year Time Out Chicago called the original DISTURBED, “crap-your-pants scary,” claiming, “…the storefront mind-fuck…makes for a wicked (Halloween) alternative.” Once again combining live action, multimedia, sound and special effects DISTURBED II bombards participants with a gruesome multi-sensory experience. This year, company member Colby Hanik spearheads the technically stunning endeavor as both writer and director. The performances feature company members David Boren and Julie Potesta on stage, Jorge Madrigal’s always impressive lighting design, Aaron DeYoung’s menacing sound landscape, and Justin Warren’s haunting make-up design.


DISTURBED II runs at Oracle Theatre, 3809 N. Broadway October 12-14, 18-21, and 25-31 at 8PM with 15 minute performances every half hour until 11:30PM. Admission is $9 donation at the door, $7 dollars with advanced reservation; reservations are recommended, but not required.

Holla...
Here is the deal peeps...

I turn 26 on the 25th of July...which is a Wednesday. Middle of the week. But I have things going on the weekend before and the weekend after.

Plus...I try not to discriminate againt Wednesdays...especially when my BIRTHDAY falls on one.


So I am having a fiesta at WhirlyBall on Weds the 25th. For those of you who have never played WhirlyBall before you are in for a treat (I popped my cherry about six months ago).


In short, it is bumper cars mixed with whiffle ball mixed with beer and liquor.

Check out the website for all the details: http://www.whirlyball.com/what/

Yes it is also a bar (you lushes) so you are all invited to just come and celebrate...BUT...I am trying to figure out how many people want to play so I know how long to rent the court for.


I am thinking either 8pm-9:30 or 8pm to 10pm. Everyone will be rotating in and out in 15 minute intervals.


I am GUESSING it will come to between $10 and $15 per player...well worth it! But we will split up the cost evenly amoung the # of players the night of.


So RSVP in one of 3 ways:
1) Call me at (847) 414-9205
2) Myspace me
3) Email me at aaron@oracletheatre.org

Recaping...
My B-Day,
July 25th, 7pm-11pm
WhirlyBall is at 1880 West Fullerton, Chicago, IL 60614
Are you gonna play or just hang out?

If you are not comming I expect a creative excuse!
Peace and Carrots,

WHATCA GONNA DO WHEN COPS COMES FOR YOU? TIME OUT CHICAGO LOVES HOW TO ACT AROUND COPS!!!

How to Act Around Cops
Open Cage Ensemble at Angel Island. By Logan Brown and Matthew Benjamin. Dir. Zachary Davis. With Joel Ewing, Mark H. Howard, Chad Morris, Danyel Read, Greg Wenz.


For all the violence that erupts in this black comedy (and, of course, the giggles induced from watching unprepared suckers sink further into quicksand), what’s puzzling is how well those two ingredients meld together, often occurring simultaneously without skipping a beat. During one numbing chase scene, a character yells, “You’re paranoid; it’s fucking frightening! Ease up—Jesus Christ!” There’s obvious irony there, but when furtively wedged into a chaotic argument, it’s tough to notice. And thus, writers Brown and Benjamin avoid two overly common mistakes of the genre: Mocking and drawing out a ridiculous situation don’t necessarily make it funny.


Cops opens like a Hunter S. Thompson passage (and looks equally trippy, with only smoke and headlights filling the stage): Two seemingly drugged-up twentysomethings drive through the middle of nowhere. They’re blasting Nine Inch Nails, sweating profusely and drawing a blank on what happened that night. Madson (Wenz, who pulls off an entertaining stoner/paranoid type reminiscent of Mark Ruffalo) bugs out when he sees sirens behind him; his friend (Ewing, also enjoyable) finds a purse with a bag of coke in it and swallows it before the cop (Morris) confronts them. Elsewhere, the cop busts in on a biracial couple (Howard and Read, displaying less chemistry than the other duo) experimenting with S&M.


It might sound like easy shock-tainment. But as the two events connect, the script points to the dangers of complaisance, turning up the heat on its characters for telling a cop what they think he wants to hear. It’s a riddle that’s funny—and awfully frightening.
—Tim Lowery

3) The Trib has posted their review of the show! Yay x3!

'Cops' an arresting crime comedy
By Nina Metz
Special to the Tribune
Published March 9, 2007
Two guys out driving one night get pulled over by a cop. If it sounds like the setup to a joke, in a way it is. "How to Act Around Cops," the crime comedy by Logan Brown and Matthew Benjamin, brews up soft-core Quentin Tarantino by way of the television series "Cops.
"

The meatballs in the front seat are guilty of something, but all we know is that the driver has bloody knuckles-and he has just encouraged his pal in the passenger seat to eat a small bag of cocaine before the police officer approaches their car.


"Ok, ok, ok, I ate the coke," Barnum (Joel Ewing) assures Madson (Greg Wenz) in one of the play's funnier moments. Barnum is a trickier role than appears at first glance-he may be a nerdy weasel in a pair of Dockers, but he has vast reserves of bad judgment and bloodlust. Straddling that line makes Ewing's performance so enjoyably difficult to pin down.


Just what exactly these two losers are guilty of is slowly revealed over the course of the next two scenes. (One takes place in a dingy motel room, where we meet a couple that has shown up for kinky sex; the other takes place back on the side of a deserted road.) The details, though, like Barnum's motivations, never synch up.


The story circles around, looking for its tail-a fruitless task, but one that is frequently entertaining in this Open Cage Ensemble production. (The play was a hit when it debuted at the 2003 New York International Fringe Festival.) Chad Morris plays the cop-a man intensely committed to upholding the law-who is fuzzy on the ethics of what that means.


There's also the matter of the car. How director Zachary Davis and his crew got that little Honda Civic up to Angel Island's second floor theater space is a puzzle that will keep your mind occupied even when the play does not.


Through April 7 at Angel Island Theatre, 735 West Sheridan Rd. Tickets are $20 at 773-929-7911.
