My Way of Life

We’re into our opening week of POSEIDON! and so far sailing has been relatively smooth. Seriously…,

I have to say that the designers have really outdone themselves. The deadline for discounted tickets is June 19. Just enter Handbag fr $5 off any regularly priced shows.

My Way of Life

Yesterday we rehearsed in The Chopin Theatre and I finally saw Matt Buettner’s great set for the show. It’s our own little Poseidon jungle gym. I really haven’t even had a chance to obsess about the fact that The Joans are opening for Cyndi Lauper tomorrow at Milwaukee Pridefest, which I suppose is for the best. I am just hoping the weather doesn’t get too freaky.

My Way of Life

Well, John Nasca did not win at the Jeff Awards yesterday for costumes but he is a winner to us. Congratulations to Hay Fever’s Suzanne Mann. Wait until you see John’s POSEIDON! creations. Delicious!

MOMMIE DEAREST ON MOTHERS DAY WITH HELL IN A HANDBAG!

CHICAGO, IL – The Music Box Theatre re-teams again with Dick O’Day and Hell in a Handbag Productions to present the second in their seasonal series focusing on the best (and worst) in camp movies – Camp Midnight. This time the trio invites you to spend Mother’s Day with Mommie Dearest. Mommie Dearest, the Mt. Everest of Mother’s Day movies will screen one time only, Sunday, May 10th. Camp Midnight fans are invited to “get up early” for this special matinee presentation that will include a Joan-a-Palooza day of activities kicking off with a 1:30pm pre-show hosted by Dick O’Day.

Get out your eyebrow pencil, shoulder pads and f*** me pumps to compete in the Joan Crawford look-a-like contest! Thrill to prize giveaways! Be amazed at a special performance by The Joans, the world’s first band dedicated to “giving Joan Crawford a rock-n-roll voice.”

Capture the moment for all eternity with a special photo taken with Joan and Christina. The 2:00pm screening (complete with interactive audience guide) immediately follows all this Mommie Dearest mayhem.

The Camp Midnight crew has also teamed up with Blue Bayou, Chicago’s terrific Sunday brunch destination to offer an exclusive upgrade for the event. Guests can purchase VIM (Very Important Mother) tickets that include brunch beginning at 11:30pm at Blue Bayou (directly across the street from the Music Box at 3734 N. Southport) and preferred, reserved seating at the theatre. Only 50 VIM tickets are available and are just $24. Tickets for the screening alone are $12 per person.
