Once More, With Feeling

Fancy Hobos!

We've been pretty down and dirty in the trenches with The Regulars for the past few months, and it's about time to change that! No, don't worry, we're not overhauling the show halfway through the run. We're not THAT mentally unstable. Well, at least most of us aren't...

Instead, we're hosting one fancy-pants party! So find a frilly dress (or one with some slink, if you prefer), get those tight pants pressed and join us for

The Box Car Social

7-10pm

Club Lucky

1824 West Wabansia

Chicago, IL

Come meet the company and also have a chance to rub shoulders with some amazing people from the Chicago theatre scene. Mingle, much on appetizers, and move to the crooning of the very special and always wonderful Vallery Dolls.

We're changing out of our blacks and getting into black tie, and it just may look something like this:

Ok, so maybe my dress isn't that frilly, but there will undoubtedly be one of the Junction boys doing their best Captain Tight Pants.

This is also your chance to help Hobo Junction bring all-new, fresh, original comedy to Chicago. Help us raise funds by bringing friends with you and joining in our raffle for some shiny prizes. There are great plans on the horizon, but we cannot move forward without your help, and we all might as well have fun while doing it!

42.

DON'T PANIC.

Happy Towel Day.

Mid-Run Motivation

We have made it to the halfway point!

That means you only have three more weeks to see

THE REGULARS!

To get you inspired to purchase your tickets, peruse these motivational posters created by our own Bryan Campbell. These are the very same posters that spark the energy in our cast every night, as they adorn the back side of our awesome wall.

And look! The production crew didn't get left out either!

Don't judge. Unless you do it silently.

In Memoriam

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am saddened to announce the passing of a Hobo Junction guest artist and friend. Early last week, George the Techie Mouse moved on to a land where there are no cats and the streets are paved with cheese. George's tenure with the Junction was short, but in that time he was able to secure a cameo in the opening performance of "THE REGULARS" and was the highlight of the production team's tech week. A quiet observer, it is possible George was trying to secure an internship, as he was frequently found following company members around the Apollo Studio space and observing their actions.

George will be missed, but his memory and certainly his...aroma...live on in the Studio space.

Two Weeks Down and Another Review!

We survived another weekend!

We had some fantastic audiences this week, they were very into the show and the energy in the space was incredible. On Sunday, we had some very special guests from POINT BREAK - LIVE!, so thanks to those folks for coming out!

Reviewer Colin Douglas came to the show Friday night, read his review here!

Cooler Than Seeing Bigfoot

Good Morning Blogosphere!

I bet you thought I'd forgotten about you now that the production phase of the show is over and we're up and running.

Not so much!

Opening weekend has come and gone with a couple of reviews in and everyone feeling more confident now that we have three shows under our belts. The only snafus of the weekend were purely technical, so great job cast! Chris, Josh, and I were all so proud of the work these nine people put forward and can't wait for you to join us in the fun.

In fact, we are SO excited to have you come see the show, we are offering a special deal for this coming Sunday, May 16. Simply call the Apollo Box Office at (773)935-6100 and mention the special code, "Sunday!....Sunday!...Sunday!" You must say it like a Monster Truck announcer. Because that's how we roll. With that special code, you will be able to purchase 2-for-1 tickets! Not too shabby, eh?

Until this weekend then, rest up. Then get amped up and come out and see THE REGULARS!

Please. C-Rex and Josh really want you there.
