Festivus for the Rest-iv-us: Dramatis Personae's Feats of Strength @ Strawdog Theatre
Festivus, Frank Costanza's deliriously made-up holiday on Seinfeld, wasn't over until The Feats of Strength, a wrestling match between the head of the household and one unlucky party guest. This Christmas season, Chicago-based theater company Dramatis Personae wants to keep the tradition alive.
OK, so there won't be any wrestling. But there will be a Reindeer revolution, an electric turkey carver duel and a birthday party for Jesus in these six short plays, all original works that were written with the prompt "surviving the holidays" in mind. Should be a wild night, a celebration of all the feuding and dysfunction that make us so warm inside.
Dramatis Personae presents The Feats of Strength: Six New Plays for Surviving the Holidays, this Friday & Saturday at 10:30 pm. Performances are held at Strawdog Theatre, Hugen Hall (3829 N. Broadway). Tickets are $15; for ticket reservations please call 773.633.6683 or email: info@dramatispersonaechicago.com. For more information visit dramatispersonaechicago.com or strawdog.org.
