DUELING DRAMATISTS DUKE IT OUT

NOTHING SPECIAL PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS FIGHT NIGHT

11/08/2011 CHICAGO – In this corner, five Chicago theatre groups ready to fight. And in the other corner, the world.

Nothing Special Productions, in collaboration with creative powerhouses The House Theater of Chicago, The Inconvenience, Babes With Blades, and Fight Jam, is winding up for one mean right hook with FIGHT NIGHT. For one-night-only, December 8, 2011, these five groups will present a series of scenes at The Den Theatre in Wicker Park featuring mind-blowing combat of all kinds, presented in wrestling match style by hosts Brian Rohde of Nothing Special Productions and Matt Castellvi of nefarious sketch comedy team Octavarius. Drinks will be available as audiences join in the mayhem to win raffles and prizes. Did we mention drinks will be available?

ONE NIGHT ONLY!

We hope to see you there!

Renaissance faires, Navy Pier, outdoor festivals, and more—these kinds of venues bring their own challenges to the performer and director of staged violence not seen in your average theater. Join us as we explore ways of approaching outdoor, in-the-middle-of-everything street fighting: where your stage is gravel and tree roots, your audience walks among you and might show up after you begin or leave before you finish. What can we do within these constraints, and how can we make them work to our advantage?

Marcus Davis has three years of experience creating and performing fights and stunts at the Bristol Renaissance Faire, and will be leading the class. He is joined by Scrapper Gabriel, who has also spent three seasons performing at the Bristol Faire, including one on the same fight cast.

Presented by:
