Ghosts! Beer! Clowns! A Live Radio Play! Ho, Ho Holy Sh%t!!!
Chicago, October 28, 2014 – The Drinking & Writing Theater’s holiday show A Beer Carol returns to The Drinking & Writing Theater at Haymarket Pub & Brewery, November 29 to December 28 on Saturdays at 4:00 p.m. with Sunday 4:00 p.m. shows on December 21 and 28 and an 8:00 p.m. show on Monday and Tuesday, December 22 and 23.
A Beer Carol is a live radio play that tells the story of the evil CEO Bud Miller of Milweiser, the large, heartless brewers of swill. Haunted by the ghosts of the four ingredients of beer–hops, barley, water and yeast–and faced with his past, present and his possible ill-fated future, Bud Miller must decide if he can change into a better human being and a better brewer.
A Beer Carol, written by Sean Benjamin and Steve Mosqueda, stars the two writers and Carolyn Benjamin from the Drinking & Writing shows God vs. Hall & Oates, Barnstormers, American Variety 1 and 2, and The Earliest Known Photo of Men Drinking Beer.
Tickets are $20.00 and are available at http://www.drinkingandwriting.com.
A Short History of The Drinking & Writing Theater
The Drinking & Writing Theater was founded in 2002 after Neo-Futurists Sean Benjamin and Steve Mosqueda had great success with their site-specific show Drinking & Writing. Since then there have been five volumes of Drinking & Writing performed in bars and theaters all over the U.S. and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The Drinking & Writing Theater has also spawned The Drinking & Writing Radio Show on WLUW 88.7FM, the Beerfly Alleyfight, The Drinking & Writing Festival, and the Tied House Film Festival. Sean Benjamin and Steve Mosqueda also created the documentary The Western Avenue Project (a 4 day hike up the entire length of Western Avenue, the longest continuous street in North America, with a pint in every bar). Recent theater productions include BEER, To Cure A Hangover, A Beer Carol, God vs. Hall & Oates, Barnstormers, American Variety 1 and 2 (written by Carolyn Benjamin and Alison Connelly), and The Brewprints part 1: 40 Scenes on Hops. In February 2014, they premiered an all-new play written by Sean Benjamin, The Earliest Known Photo of Men Drinking Beer and Seve Mosqueda’s play Brechtoberfest just closed at The Drinking & Writing Theater. Sean Benjamin’s new play (written with his wife Carolyn Benjamin), Pseudo-Chum, is currently playing at The Neo-Futurist Theater until November 29.
