Next weekend! A Halloween show...

Posted with kind permission from Dex:

Terra Mysterium performance collective will be presenting its Halloween show on October 15th, 16th, and 17th at 8pm.
We look forward to seeing you there!

See our commercials:

About the show:
Professor Marius Mandragore, internationally renowned master of multifarious arcane arts, once again hosts a magical salon for seekers of mysterium. For this auspicious symposium, the salon room will be unveiled in the Windy City and is currently aligning itself to the terrestrial energies of American soil. It misses tea time terribly.

The professor cordially invites you to join him and his esteemed colleagues for an evening devoted to an exploration of the phenomenon of witchcraft, cunning creatures of the night, and phantasms from beyond.

The professor guarantees that he and his colleagues shall be able to elucidate the impenetrable (or at least make their topics somewhat permeable) for even the most insensitive of "sensitives." In other words, no prior experience in the occult sciences is required for attendance. Open minds, fancy dress, and polite manners, however, are most welcome.

Cumbersome parcels, melancholic dispositions, and demon spawn may be stored at the coat check. Refreshments shall be provided for a slight fee (we have to pay the apprentices something, otherwise it will be another year of watercress sandwiches).

The symposium shall cost $20 for all adult attendees, and $18 for student apprentices and senior citizens (proper card identification will be required).

Through a transposition of extreme magical energies the salon has manifested itself at the La Costa Theatre located at the following address:
3931 N Elston Ave # 2 (Second floor)
Chicago, IL 60618-4227
(773) 383-9104 (La Costa Theatre)

We had a very full weekend, and were unable to get there. How'd it go?

It went really well. Really good audiences, both in terms of numbers and their response. It was an interacting-with-the-audience kind of play, and everyone really seemed to enjoy that. There's one section where one of the "professors" was giving a slide presentation -- and the audience was rolling. She milked it a little more each night and people kept laughing, she probably could have kept going for another five minutes and they wouldn't have stopped.

There was a bit of stage magic, too, including an audience member the first night who blurted out "Holy shi--" when she got the mind-reading trick right.

We weren't able to find a videographer, but we did manage to stick a point-and-shoot camera on a tripod and video some of the music/dance numbers before the closing show. In theory those should go up on our YouTube channel soon. I'll post a link when it is.

In the meantime, cast photos (done by yours truly):
