Point Break Live! @ New Rock Theater
It took ten minutes for a friend to convince me this was real. The deliriously idiotic cult action classic, Point Break, wherein Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze wax philosophical over surfboards and shotguns, has been adapted into an absurdist stage production with ponchos. After successful runs in Seattle, LA, and New York, Point Break Live! is coming to Chicago this March, and YOU could be playing the starring role. Reeve's Johnny Utah is chosen randomly from the audience, with the winner reading his/her lines from cue cards. The production apparently captures the explosions, car chases, and extended skydive sequences in its own ludicrous way. For a taste of the action, check out the video below.
This takes the raucous midnight screenings of cult classics like Troll 2 and The Room a step further, allowing the audience free reign to revise and refine those moments of unintentional hilarity.
Performances start March 19 and run through May 30 at New Rock Theater (3931 N. Elston Avenue). Tickets are $20 for Friday and Saturday ($25.00 Front Row) and
$15 for Sundays ($20.00 Front Row). Performances start at 9:30 Friday and Saturday and 6pm on Sunday.
