SUMMARY:(out): A New Musical
DESCRIPTION:In the near future\, a geomagnetic storm hits the Earth\, wipes out the internet\, and plunges the world into a total blackout. Five young adults must stick together as they work through dwindling resources\, scorching summer temperatures\, isolation from the outside world\, and their own complicated histories with one another. But how far can they stretch their limited survival knowledge to make it to the next day… or week… or… \nSet to an original indie folk score\, (out) explores our response to catastrophe\, queer love\, and the difference between existing versus actively participating in our own lives.

SUMMARY:A Star is Aborted: The Chicago Return of Maureen SanDiego
DESCRIPTION:Maureen brings her critically acclaimed Hollywood Fringe show A Star is Aborted to Chicago! This is a boundary-pushing cabaret satire written by Chicago’s premiere “female female impersonator\,” Maureen SanDiego. The premise is a John Waters–inspired fever dream: \nA drag queen fetus becomes the first baby conceived inside a gay man. Will she choose life—or remain in butthole limbo forever? \nThis outrageous musical explores sexual freedom\, fame\, and queerness through grotesque glamour\, powerhouse vocals\, and non-stop absurdity. Think: Divine meets Weird Al in a Planned Parenthood parking lot. \n“You have the right to choose…so choose to see this show immediately!” \n-Alaska Thunderfuck 5\,000 \nFeaturing: Jack Krimmel \nClick Here for more Reviews \nPlease be advised: \nThe Newport Theater is up a flight of stairs with no elevator\, but access to a Genesis portable mobile stairlift (rated up to 400 pounds) is available. Please email newporttheater@gmail.comin advance of your arrival to coordinate entry/operators/liability waivers. \nThere are four single-stall non-gendered restrooms available onsite.
