1985 @ The Factory Theater

The Factory Theater spoofs George Orwell's classic 1984 with a distinctly mid-decade Chicago Bears twist. On Thanksgiving weekend tickets are 2 for 1 for both 1985 and Factory's late night show, Hunky Dory, and on Monday $5 will buy you a seat for the 8pm performance of 1985. Chase those post-Thanksgiving blues with a night of homegrown theater. Eric Roach directs.

The Factory Theater is located at 3504 N. Elston, between Albany and Kedzie. Showtimes for 1985: Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm (except the day after Thanksgiving); Sundays at 7, and a special Monday night performance at 8pm November 30th. Show runs through December 19th. Tickets are $20, two-for-one on November 28th & 29th, and $5 November 30th. For information and tickets call: 312-409-3247 or visit The Factory Theater.
