many many good shows go up in chicago... but many people overlook some great stuff... and here's some!

• the neofuturists put on one of the greatest feats of mankind called "too much light makes the baby go blind..." tmlmtbgb is pure genius: 30 plays in 60 minutes, the cast and audience heavily interact with screaming and laughing, and if they sell out: they order out! PIZZA!!! the cost is also determined 4 + the roll of a die... they are fun! (on foster and ashland above a funeral parlor, off the berwyn el stop)
• also good is the annoyance theater on clark (right across from the metro, addison el stop).. they have the longest running show in chicago's history "coed prison sluts"... it's truly a disgusting, perverse, hilarious musical... you'll be singing dirty songs in no time..
• last and probably least is "the rocky horror picture show"... at the evanston loews theatre on central ave (three blocks west of the central purple line stop) where the midnight madness cast of chicago performs every saturday at midnight... i used to be in the cast, but there is still reason to go... oh yeah, price is $5.50, and props are very very much allowed and encouraged (just don't bring mace, knives or a supersoaker, because they do door searches)...
