About the show:

Once a month, on every Friday the 'teenth (except when it's the 12th), we present an ever-changing revue of staged, word-for-word transcripts of noted people (and some ordinary folk) saying things they never meant for the public to hear: surveillance tapes, secretly recorded conversations, forgotten open mics, on-camera diatribes, released e-mails, private correspondence, etc.

Over three hundred such pieces, with more being added all the time...meaning no performance is like the one before.

Jonathan Pereira, long time host of the Chicago run of Verbatim Verboten, hosts and directs this outrageous comedy that features a rotating cast++ of WorkShop Theater members, as well as a monthly guest host.

Drinks will be available throughout the evening.

Cast: Dan Patrick Brady, Cecily Benjamin, KellyAnne Burns, Anne Fizzard, Richard Kent Green, Mike Smith Rivera and Tracy Shar

++Cast members may change, week-to-week

So don't miss out on a fun and different Friday night. Make reservations to see Verbatim Verboten!
