The Mammals are so proud of Sara Gorsky

Sara Gorsky has won best actress for the 2010 Orgie Awards!

More on the Orgie award and ceremony below!

ORGIE THEATRE AWARD

The "Orgie" is an award to encourage original, innovative, risky, thrilling, inspiring, and possibly outlandish work in Chicago theatre. All theatre disciplines are eligible to receive an Orgie Theatre Award -- directing, acting, playwriting, music composition, ensemble work, lighting, sound, props, set design, artistic direction, producing, et al.

The Orgie Theatre Award committee is an anonymous collection of theatre artists and patrons. The name "Orgie" is taken from the word "original." To be granted an Orgie, a nominee must receive a majority of the committee's votes. The Orgie Theatre Award committee does not claim to be fair, unbiased, or reasonable. Their goal is to encourage a spirit of originality and adventure in Chicago theatre.

BREED WITH ME BEFORE CHRISTMAS COMES!

If you tweet, then you should goto Zac Thompson's Tweet

He links to his review of BREED WITH ME for the Chicago Reader! You may have already read it, but if not... we're highly recommended... that's twice from the Reader. Once by Jack Helbig in 2003 and again by Zac Thompson in 2009 for the same script!

Thanks Chicago Reader! BTW we are extending into the new year... but this weekend is your last chance to see BREED WITH ME in 2009. Tickets are already selling for our January performances and seating is limited. If you wait you risk missing this show which has garnered some very high praise for us. We are thankful and proud... and well we just want to share the work with you all!

So call 866-593-4614 and come see us before the holiday break! We'll even do 2 for 1 this weekend only!

Last chance!

Only 2 chances in 2009 to see BREED WITH ME. If you look at our previous posts you'll see just how much great press we've gotten for this show! We know alot of you are waiting, but if you come this weekend and declare "War on Christmas" we'll give you 2 for 1 tickets!

Call to make reservations 866-593-4614! Seating is extremely limited!

Centerstage Reviews BREED WITH ME

It may be misogynistic, even occasionally incoherent. That's all beside the point. That a stripped-down show could induce such a gut-churning reaction speaks to the force of Fisher's vision and the power of live theater. Appalling, certainly, but also revelatory

AWG Don Hall's Review of BREED WITH ME

it's like Lynch without the pretension and I couldn't agree more - Fisher has all the strangeness but throws in bits of gallows humor and a sense of fun into the mix that at times alienates and then immediately includes the audience. Go see this show. Seriously.
