Assignment: Be open, honest, and write a narrative about your family during the holidays. Bring some writings to perform! Journals. Stories. Texts from classes. Anything that you would like to perform.

Can’t make it? Call our voicemail art project, 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638), to contribute via the phone. We will play your audio contribution on stage (pending audio quality).

Think! Found Magazine meets J&C Letters to the Editor. The two of them can’t decide which family to see over the holidays so they invite everyone to their place. Politics, art, and philosophy are discussed. People redden. Feet stomp. Alcohol is consumed. Some leave. Some go to bed. Some stay up into the night learning about each other. The sun rises, another mimosa is poured, and Danny Weiss starts playing a sweet song on his saxophone.

Think! Found Magazine meets J&C Letters to the Editor. The two of them go trick or treating as the Pedestrian Bridge and the Wabash River. Each receive a tremendous amount of candy, stickers, and other household items. Upon returning home, they examine their loot and find a letter. The writer tells them the location of a secret trunk full of valuables and photographs. They quickly head out into the night. They enter Happy Hollow Park after dusk and…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

312-DRY-TOFU – Nose Hairs and Fishing

312-DRY-TOFU - Free-form Question, Comment, Improvisation Voicemail Line

Here is another installment of the free-form question, comment and improvisational voicemail art project, 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638). Give us a call to share your perspective on anything and everything! Tell us about your day, improvise a monologue about a local event, or sing us a song. If it can be captured on the phone, we want to hear it.

In this episode we hear the story of a magical transformation that occurred while grooming one’s nose, the mumbling tales of a fishing trip, a lost and found thank you, the discovery of a card that foretells the future, and a monologue about neighbor associations being born.

Please join us for the next episode by calling and contributing to 312-DRY-TOFU (312-379-8638)!
