Labyrinth Arts and Performance Collective 

announces the line up for its 

Labyrinth Arts and Performance Collective Showcase

 

Chicago, IL (March 7th, 2023) Labyrinth Arts and Performance announces the line up for its Labyrinth Arts and Performance Collective Showcase this spring. Featuring new and returning performers, this showcase will offer presentation-packed two weekends at the Pride Arts space.

 

Headlining the showcase is JOHN AND PAUL: GET RICH QUICKER, the follow-up to their hit Rhinofest show STRICTLY PLATONIC. Chicago's funniest dialectical materialists serve their audience an apoplectic mix of screwball comedy and lucrative sponsorship opportunities. Also featuring special guests every night including standup KJ Whitehead, drag artist Gigi, and song and dance man Chris Distaste.

 

DOGS!, a cabaret variety show for dog-lovers, returns to the stage after a three year hiatus.  Dogs! highlights dog-themed dance, music, skits and comedy with live music by special guest band Improper Behavior fronted by the vintage jazzy voice of Miss Sharon Waltham.  A percentage of the proceeds will benefit rescue dogs. 

​

THE BEAST WOMEN returns to the stage to dazzle the evening with an all female cast featuring belly dance, burlesque, fierce poetry, and song. Produced by Jill Erickson, a long time veteran of the Chicago stage with a 15+ year open run.

 

LOOSE CHICKS is a collection of courageous women who share experiences that most women keep to themselves. Each show features six exceptional writers and performers who allow themselves to be vulnerable as they share with uncommon honesty.

​

THE BAND BONUS shows will include rock music from The Push Push celebrating an all-new album, returning performances by The Star System, and The Berteau Trippers, a new folk Americana group based in Chicago.
