On Monday, we posted about the great selection of events coming up at the Guild Literary Complex (have you submitted your prose for the Prose Awards yet?). Today we have a few more details about one of those events.
This Friday, Oct. 14 begins the 2011 Season of Tour Guides. Poetry meets the stage meets Chicago in this theatrical exploration of urban life. Collaboratively written by members of the Poetry Performance Incubator, this ensemble piece offers a lyrical tour of the Chicago tourists never see. The 2011 production combines some of what you loved from the 2010 production – including award-winning theater director and poet Coya Paz- along with brand new writing and a brand new cast.
The show runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, Oct. 14th – Nov. 6th at 7pm at the Logan Square Arts Center, 2800 N. Milwaukee Ave. (2nd floor), Chicago
Tickets are $10 online OR $15 at the door (students $10 at the door with student i.d.) Details and tickets at http://www.guildcomplex.org/?q=node/275
