EllieIda

This event is part of the 2019 Revolutions International Theatre (and Music!) Festival, put on by our friends at Tricklock Company.

Two lives. One act.

"Ellielda" follows the lives of two fictional comedy icons forced together on the vaudeville circuit. They discover that only one thing will get you through life: the hilarity of it all. Alcohol, assholes, and a couple of pies later they reflect on their friendship, their successes, and what it means to be funny. Eight characters, two actresses and a whole lotta shots.

"Rhiannon Frazier and Katie Farmin are so close to a classical vaudeville duo at times, the electrical charge so nearly attuned, that Ellielda should be required viewing for every self respecting Marxist (Groucho, not Karl) in the greater Chicago area." (Chicago Reader)

This is the latest in a monthly series of free events in collaboration with the Friends for the Public Library.
