Silent Theatre's 5th Anniversary!

Silent Theatre is turning 5 and we are celebrating by putting on one helluva Wild Party Variety Hour!

Saturday, August 28th at 10:30p at Prop Thtr, we will party, drink, dance, entertain, entice, seduce, thrill, chill, sing, laugh, urge, stimulate and celebrate and it would be absolutely shameful and devastating if you are not there! This variety show is not the one to miss. Followed by a party 'til you drop, dance 'til you swea...t, drink 'til you puke (or at least 'til you feel like it)!

It'll be the last time hosts Marvin Eduardo Quijada and Nathan Paul will perform 'til next year! It'll be the best time to support our very own Lady Jack as she will rock her burlesque heart at NY Burlesque Fest and New Orleans Burlesque Fest! It'll be the first time since Oona Tramp Matt Massaro returns to the stage after major surgery! It'll be a great time to see some of WPVH's returning stars Brett Schneider, Brad French, Jess Godwin, Jeez Loueez and of course our resident musical sass Kyle Greer! It'll simply be a night to remember.

The Garage on Clark Street: the st. valentine's day massacre

Two days only. February 12th and 13th. 9:00p. The Valentine's Day Massacre-SilentTheatre style. Because we're in Chicago. And it's V-Day. And it's history. And imagination. And Rhino Fest is hosting us. And we're psyched.
And if you come on Saturday, you might as well stay for our Variety show, which by the way, is for sure worth checking out. After all, folks are saying that it's "the dirtiest fun to be had on the Chicago stage."
So, yeah, we're jazzed! We hope to jazz you up as well.
Cheers!

“Hosts Nathan Paul and Marvin Quijada promised this bit of vaudevillian debauchery from Silent Theatre Company would make me "laugh, cry, and get an erection"--and they got everything but the anatomy right”.

-Marissa Oberlander, Chicago Reader

“Burlesque expert Lady Jack captivates with a wink and a twitch of the shoulder blade….seems to tell a dozen stories with the raise of an eyebrow…superbly erotic”

-Ann Pulley, Centerstage Chicago


(And for this show, we are giving away a free beer with every ticket! Because we love you.)

Carnival Nocturne's Grand Finale Weekend

Howdy Y'all!

This is the final weekend of Carnival Nocturne at the Storefront Theatre.

If you haven't made it out to see it, please do. Ultimately, for all the pictures we take or video we record, it is a live, living, breathing, beautiful play that will only exist as a complete whole entity for one more weekend. Then we will all go our seperate ways and it will exist only in little snapshots, in photos or on paper.

Please, come be a witness to all the creative energy that has been put into this project!
