SECOND CITY GOES GAY – JUST IN TIME!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 7, 2004, Chicago, IL ----- Second City Theatricals and GayCo Productions are proud to present “Weddings of Mass Destruction,” an all new sketch comedy revue, July 8 – August 15, 2004 at Victory Gardens Theater (2257 N. Lincoln Ave).
With Gay Marriage and the Constitution hanging by a thread, a looming Presidential Election and Clay Aiken becoming Barry Manilow, there's never been a better time for GayCo's piercing satire. Directed by Second City alum Jim Zulevic, “Weddings of Mass Destruction” presents a hilarious assortment of sketches, scenes and songs tackling and tickling the pressing issues of today.
GayCo Productions is a not-for-profit theatre ensemble specializing in the creation of sketch-comedy revues based on gay/lesbian themes. Since starting as a lesbigay focused workshop at the Second City Training Center in 1996, they've performed for enthusiastic audiences in Chicago and across the country.
Second City Theatricals, a division of The Second City, produces original plays, musicals, and performance pieces for resident and touring markets. It’s most recent success is the smash hit “Second City’s Romeo and Juliet Musical – The People vs. Friar Laurence: The Man Who Killed Romeo and Juliet,” a co-production with Chicago Shakespeare currently performing at Navy Pier.
