The Practical Theatre will return to the Chicagoland area with a two-night classic radio show featuring comedy, live music and handmade sound effects.
The comedy troupe was founded in the 1980s by Northwestern students — including Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Its “Theatre on the Air” features writer-performers Victoria Zielinski, Paul Barrosse and Dana Olsen, with music by Steve Rashid and his Studio5 All-Stars (Don Stiernberg, Jim Cox & Robert Rashid). There will also special appearances by Giggle Break’s Daniel Rashid, vocalist Paul Marinaro (12/28 only) and recording artist Eva B. Ross.
The show runs Dec. 28 and 29 at Studio5, 1938 Dempster St., Evanston.
