CHICAGO – August 30th 2017. The Annoyance Theatre proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary in October with the return of its flagship show; “Splatter Theater”. Now in its 30th year, “Splatter Theater” is an annual slasher spoof full of outrageous thrills and chills. Come watch as the Annoyance Theatre’s white stage walls get bloodied every Saturday at 10:00 PM, with previews starting September 9th, opening September 23rd.
A parody of Friday the 13th type movies, the characters in “Splatter Theater” include such archetypes as the nun, the school jock, the virgin, the class dick, and of course the bumbling old man. Laugh and watch them all die in different ways: tongue pulled out, drill to the head, intestines being ripped out, slashed throat, and the list goes on. With freshly painted white walls on the stage before each performance, the audience will be horrified and delighted by the end, when the walls are covered in blood! The show, originally directed by Mick Napier, is directed this year by Jonald Reyes.
“Splatter Theater” will preview on the Annoyance Theatre’s Mainstage, Saturday September 9th at 10:00 PM, open September 23, and continue to run on Saturdays at 10:00 PM through October 28. There will be a special 30th Anniversary show on Saturday October 14 at 8:00 PM (No 10pm show on Saturday 10/14) and a special Halloween performance on Tuesday October 31 at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $20, $15 for students. For more information, view the Annoyance website www.theannoyance.com or call the box office: 773.697.9693. The Annoyance is located at 851 W.
