Tonight the Neo-Futurists wind up their summer schedule of dramatic readings of bad, forgotten, or otherwise neglected films. This year's installment of "It Came From The Neo-Futurarium" concludes with a reading of 1984's Breakin' (Not Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo). The film will be (no doubt memorably) reenacted by actors from the Barrel of Monkeys theater troupe. The show begins tonight at 8:00 at the Neo-Futurarium (5153 N. Ashland), and reservations are highly recommended. See the Neo-Futurist Website for more details, or call the theater at (773) 275-5255.
