The Pigeons @ Swim Cafe
The Pigeons, written by Joe Zarrow and directed by Cassy Sanders, asks, "Can artists, yuppies, pigeons or anybody escape gentrification?" The real estate farce set in Chicago's diverse, rapidly-gentrifying West Town neighborhood follows Martin after his girlfriend kicks him out of their apartment and he has to navigate his way through a torrent of unemployed artists, unscrupulous real estate agents, embittered baristas, rageaholic frat boys and terrifying, pierogi-selling old ladies to land his dream condo. Opening night starts at 8pm April 30 and performances continue Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays through June 7. Tickets are a suggested donation of $10 to $15 and the show goes up at Swim Cafe, 1357 W. Chicago Ave.
