Theatre Of The Mindless: Saturday 13 October 2007 at Waukegan Public Library

October 12, 2007

Tomorrow, Saturday 13 October, TOTM is performing a fundraiser for the Waukegan Public Library on 13 October 13th at 7:30 pm.  The show will take place downstairs in the Ray Bradbury Room.

Tickets are $20 per adult, $30 per couple, and $5 for kids ages 6 to 16.  Stephen Jansen, of Theatre Of The Mindless, will be donating several OTR scripts for silent auction.

Stephen adds, “It’s a bit too early in October to call it a Halloween show, so it won’t be all scary shows…but some.  I don’t want to “give away” the actual shows we’re doing, but they will be a lot of fun for everyone.”

More info (directions, etc) and a sharp new calendar for October may be found at the TOTM blog.
