When Life Gives You Lemons...

Sell the lemons at a discount!

Collaboraction, a Chicago theatre institution known best for their annual Sketchbook short play festival, has clearly been watching their CNN recently. In light of the current economic conditions, which can be best described as sucky, they are offering $50 "Bail Out" tickets to their upcoming annual fundraiser Beggar's Banquet on October 11th, which offers a good portion of the night's excitement for a more "budget friendly" price. After all, did any of you all get checks from that $700 Billion Dollar bailout? I sure didn't--and neither did any Chicago theatre companies.

One part fundraiser, and several parts gloriously debaucherous bacchanalia, this year's Beggar's Banquet at Park West features "The Greatest Rock Songs of All Times performed by Prairie Cartel and Scott Lucas of Local H, Over 40 interactive groupies and rock stylists treating you like the rock star you are! As well as an Open Bar and Trolley service to Rednofive for After party of debauchery!!!!!", according to their website. The $50 tix get you in the door at 9:00 for the booze and groupies, and into the afterparty as well. Hit up their website for tickets and more information.
