Windy City Playhouse Artistic Director Amy Rubenstein, with Goodman Theatre and Greg Schaffert, announced the theater invites guests to attend the Oct. 20, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30 evening performances of the immersive production Southern Gothic in 1960s-inspired costume to celebrate Halloween and take the immersive theatrical experience to a whole new level.
During these special select performances, guests will have the opportunity to come dressed in their favorite 1960s era clothing and enter to win a $50 Petterino’s gift card and their photo posted in the theater’s lobby, with winners chosen by the Southern Gothic cast at the end of the show.
Set in the 1960s, the production invites audiences to be a “fly on the wall” at a cocktail party in Ashford, Georgia where four couples gather to celebrate a surprise birthday party. As the evening progresses, tensions rise and longtime relationships are tested as the characters soon realize that even best friends keep secrets.
Due to the intimate nature of the show, audience size for each performance is limited, giving audiences freedom to roam every room of the home at will, exploring various spaces and eavesdropping on clandestine conversations, providing each audience member with his/her/their own unique perspective on the evening’s proceedings.
Tickets to Southern Gothic are on sale now and range from $65 to $105 each. The production runs Wednesdays through Sundays at the Playhouse at Petterino’s, 150 N. Dearborn St.. For more information and ticketing, visit http://www.windycityplayhouse.com.
