"Embrace the Serpent by Marilyn Quayle and her Sister and Theater Oobleck," a satirical look at the presidential race, opens this coming weekend for a limited "gypsy" run. This is not a propaganda piece for any one candidate -- we poke fun at everyone. Theater Oobleck (which has been together 9 years -- 4 years in Ann Arbor as Streetlight Theater and 5 years in Chicago) is well-known for its humor, intelligence, and brave working methods (There is no director, we write our own scripts and work with each play on a consensus basis. Instead of one creative mind molding the play -- you get a whole bunch!) Performances are at 8:00 pm. Admission is a donation. $4 -- more if you have it -- free if you're broke -- and $2 million if you're Ross Perot. October 23, 24, 25, 26 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday) at the Curious Theater Branch, 1900 W. North Avenue, Chicago (northwest corner of Wolcott and North -- two blocks east of Damen, three blocks away from the Damen el stop on the O'Hare line). October 30, 31, (NO SHOW NOVEMBER 1) (Friday and Saturday -- NO SUNDAY SHOW) at the Transient Theater, 1222 W. Wilson Avenue, near Truman College. November 2, Election Eve, (Monday) there will be a show at The Garage, 1843 W. North Ave. (Just east of The Curious Theater Branch.) All seating is limited (small theaters -- 30-50 people) and Oobleck is pretty popular -- so get there early!
