New Random Acts Theatre Company Launches With ALL OUR TWILIGHT, Now thru 3/29

Artistic Director Bryan Renaud is proud to announce the launch of Random Acts Theatre Company and its debut production of All Our Twilight, a world premiere written by Renaud and Emily Schmidt. The musical parody, directed by Renaud, will play at the Gorilla Tango Theatre, 1919 N Milwaukee Ave, tonight, March 7th, 14th, 22nd, 29th all at 7:00PM. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased from the Gorilla Tango website: www.gorillatango.com. For more information, visit www.randomactschicago.com.

All Our Twilight is an epic adaptation of the four surviving tragedies in Stephanie Meyer's Twilight compendium. In celebration of the tenth anniversary of Twilight, power couple Edward and Bella are reborn on stage in this 90-minute theatrical event, which features the entire musical saga. Just like the film and book franchises, making it through all four Twilight stories will take unparalleled endurance, but we totally think you can handle it. All Our Twilight is exciting new theatre from an exciting new Chicago company. Chicago musical-theatre favorite Tommy Rivera-Vega choreographs with vocal direction from Colleen O'Connor.
