saki's Seance

I'm not even sure where to start! So much to take in! It's been a full day since the event and I am still not finished processing it. I can testify that The Bitter Tears have again heaped on additional months to my therapy bills. By the time the show finally started, a nice crowd of dressed, undressed, dressed up, and all in between had gathered to witness. I know there was a lot of competition on a Halloween weekend, so we were super thankful for the support shown to saki and both of these groups, who put the thing on for free!

The Bitter Tears perform Scene One from their original play, "The Talking Skull."

Halloween in Logan Square

There is a lot going on in Logan Square for Halloween this year. Of course you already know about the seance here at Saki on October 30th.

Here is something else to consider while visiting our fine neighborhood in this festive season: The Musical of the Living Dead!!!

What could be better than combining the awesome George Romero movie, Night of the Living Dead, with music??

The show is right down the street from Saki at the Charnel House, 3421 W. Fullerton and is being presented by the Cowardly Scarecrow Theater Company. Click here for more info.

Seance at saki: Oct. 30

Hoot, hoot, and scare. Yikes.

At the end of this month, Saki kicks off it's new "Art Challenge" series with a Halloween show featuring Charles Kim, Bob Dey's Tank Engine Man, The Bitter Tears, and more!

All the artists have been "challenged" to tell the story of the Fox Sisters, considered the founders of the Spiritualist movement (seances and the like), in their own way; ranging from large format photographs, to short musical plays, this promises to be a very fine time!

Saturday October 30th at 7:00 PM. The show is free, though donations are welcome.

Please email RSVP or do the same on Facebook

**The "Art Challenges" are designed to bring together artists from all mediums and all styles together, working towards a common goal, yet without any particular collaboration. See them as competitions, see them as experiments, however you wish, but just be sure to see them.
