Factory Theater Presents 'Shameless Shamuses'

By:

Are you ready for Shameless Shamuses?? The Factory Theater starts working Third Shift with the maddest madcap comedy of the summer of aught- eight! Duck, Dodge & Hyde are three dizzy detectives, and they've just been handed the craziest case of their collective careers! And once all the alliteration clears up, it just gets crazier! Hey! Who ordered all those pies? It's the Three Stooges meet the Marx Brothers meet the Ritz Brothers meet the Waldowsky Sisters and it's every man for himself! There's mystery, mayhem, music, and even a couple decent jokes! You will believe a detective can be foolish. For Duty and Humanity!

Featuring: Tim Amos, Steven Beaudion, Catherine Dughi, Christine Jennings, Angelina Martinez, Eric Roach, David Sohl, Maria Stephens, Carrie J. Sullivan, Ben Veatch, and Chas Vrba

Founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1992, Factory Theater is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) theater organization dedicated to the writing, directing, performance and production of original works written by ensemble members that are accessible to inexperienced as well as seasoned theatergoers. Since 1992 we have produced over 60 productions that have been enjoyed by both critics and audience members. Overall, Factory Theater has managed to bridge the gap between critical acclaim and audience accessibility. We attribute our success to hard work, dedication, and love for theater. We plan on fully using those attributes to continue Factory's vision of writing and producing new works in an effort to provide our ever-growing audience with laughter and inspiration.
