GayComedy's THE AUDACITY OF NOPE! Closes Tonight, 12/5

By:

GayCo Productions, Chicago's gay and lesbian sketch comedy theater, has announced the opening of its 15th original revue, The Audacity of Nope or How I Fell for a Pansy Scheme, opening Sunday, November 8, with previews beginning November 6.

The Audacity of Nope or How I Fell for a Pansy Scheme
In their newest comedy, GayCo dives into the gap: the gap between generations, between activists and pessimists, between what we expect and what we get. Skydiving lesbians try to say their vows before they cross state lines; Activists cross the line to Whactivism; young twinks and bitter old queens face-off in a final countdown; and Obama discovers that his BGFF's expect him to make good on his promises (as if!).

Directed by Sean Cusick
Musical Direction by Jeffrey Bouthiette
Written and Performed by Jim Bennett, Kathy Betts, Andy Eninger, Vincent Kracht, John Loos, Michelle Marquardt, and Kelly Yacono
