SUNDAYS AT SIX:

Every Sunday at 6pm we offer a FREE reading of a great play. Why? Because you’re worth it! THIS Sunday we offer a FREE reading of Donald Steele’s Grace Notes. This play takes place in Rome of the early 20th Century and is about the last of the great castrati. Lending their talents to Grace Notes are Ashley Anderson, Dee Dee Friedman, Charles E. Gerber, Ken Glickfeld, Richard Kent Green, David M. Mead, Elyse Mirto, and Natalie Smith, all ably directed by Thomas Herman. Don’t miss it, especially on a non-NFL Playoff weekend!

=================
See you at the WorkShop...where we’re just upset that “Demon Bitch Goddess” is too long to fit on a license plate.

VERBATIM VERBOTEN:

NEXT SHOW: February 12

Once a month, on every Friday the 'teenth (except when it's the 12th), The WorkShop Theater Company presents:

Created By: Michael Martin
Directed By: Jonathan Pereira
Presented In Association With: Quade Productions, Ltd.

Click Here to Buy Tickets Online: https://www.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/695945

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.
