Not Your Standard Holiday Fare: Cold @ Dream Theatre
Christmas. The older you get, the lonelier it feels. It should come as no surprise that Dream Theatre, Pilsen's unflinching purveyors of the surreal, seem to understand this better than anyone. Cold, their annual holiday show, revels in what no one in your family will: sex, drugs, and disappointment.
Billed as a "A Beautifully Emo Christmas Love Story," Cold follows an agoraphobe and a sex addict as their chance meeting turns another lonely holiday into something wonderful.
"This is a Christmas show for everyone that has ever been alone on Christmas. This is about two people who are not just alone but are in a city where everyone is out having fun," says playwright, star, and Dream Theatre cofounder Jeremy Menekseoglu.
The show runs through this Sunday at Dream Theatre, which is located at 556 W 18th Street. Performances run Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00PM, and Sundays at 7:00PM. Tickets are $15 ($12 if purchased online) and can be reserved by visiting www.dreamtheatrecompany.com or by calling 773-552-8616.
Don't miss out. These guys are on the rise.
