In May, Ghostlight returns to the mayhem of live, unrehearsed theatrical interpretations of movies known as Cinema Chaos with that Tom Hanks cinematic masterpiece The ‘Burbs!

Cinema Chaos is a monthly unrehearsed movie reading series that joins our ongoing staged movie reading series bringing audiences two movies a month — one rehearsed and well-acted and the other…complete and utter chaos.

A group of actors who have never seen the movie in question show up unrehearsed and uncast to perform the script with only 5 minutes to prepare. Roles will be assigned at the start of the reading.

What’s The ‘Burbs about? An overstressed suburbanite struggles to prove his theory that the new family in town is a front for a cannibalistic cult. It’s a comedy!

Join us at Black Eagle Club (1938 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613) on Wednesday, May 15, for this experiment gone horribly…right? Performance begins at 7 p.m. but come early if you want a good seat and to watch the character selection process (which will happen around 6:45 p.m.) Food and drink available for purchase at Black Eagle as well.
