Want to write? 7PM.
Want to perform? 8PM.
Want to watch the show? It starts at 9PM.

Assignment: Bring some writings to perform! Journals. Stories. Texts from classes. Anything that you would like to perform. Write a poem, story, or other narrative about something that frightens you.

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. To be considered for this month’s show, you must call before October 23rd.

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)!
