The critically popular DISTURBED series officially opens Oracle's season on October 10, just in time for Halloween. Originally conceived in 2006 as an 'inverted haunted house', this 15-minute performance piece is devised each year to create "crap-your-pants scary" theatre performed continually throughout a performance night. As many as 375 thrill-seeking patrons move through the normally 40-seat black-box in a single evening. This year, Artistic Director Ben Fuchsen and company member Max Truax create a horrifying spectacle transposed from the beginning cantos of Dante's Inferno. Drawing from techniques developed by Butoh dancers, grotesque, trancelike performance and shocking special effects lead audiences through a nightmare world on a journey to the edge of hell. DISTURBED is going further than it,,s ever been. Directed by Ben Fuchsen Choreographed by Max Truax Produced by Brad Jayhan-Little Featuring Company member David Boren Featuring Designs by Company Members Eric Van Tassell on Lights; Joan Pritchard with Costumes; Justin Warren designing Make-up; Angela Glyda creating Disturbed's Graphics. The Cast is rounded out with: Bridget Esterhuizen; Zach Livingston; Aileen May; Susan Myburgh; Mike Oleon; Maggie Graham and Alexandra Shepherd. The Production Team is completed with: Tyler Burke on Sets(Termen Vox Machina) and Mark McCray Designing Sound (Zero). Previews October 9. Opens October 10. Through November 1. 15-minute shows run every half-hour beginning at 8pm through 10:30pm. Performance schedule: October 10-11, 16-17, 21-25, 28-November 1. Tickets are $8 donation

    Twas the days after Christmas
    And all through the house
    Not a creature was stirring
    Except for a monster or two.

    Zombie Santa's days are past
    And nary a brain pan in sight.

    Screech into the night,
    And understand the fright
    This merry jingle jangle
    Is only a prelude mangle;
    The real fun, the blood
    The bones, the gooey bits
    Are soon to follow you Miss.

    Scream loudly if you want to
    You'll still be a puddle of goo.

    So, have fun, one and all.

    Be merry with the scary
    Seek joy, understanding
    Hard work and effort
    Mass production sucks
    But the Horror never ends.

    Be at peace, be at odds
    With the moment, the meter
    And comes wisdom my dear.

    Keep killing 'em, stay dead
    Don't forget to shoot the head
    Hope your Christmas was good
    The New Year will be even better!

    by Zombie Zak - Have Fun

    "I think I have just seen the future of American Theatre.

    —Michael Bourne, Circle Repertory Company

    “Spiritually barren lives given meaning by fundamentalist religion. Comfortable lifestyles devoid of passion. And the finality of the gun. All reflect what happened to American values . . . and they form the subject of Edward Crosby Wells’ challenging new play, Flowers out of Season . . . one of the best things this innovative theater has done.

    —Jeff Bradley, Denver Post

    *This play contains violence, sexual themes and language. There are also gunshot sound effects.

    Disturbed II

    This year Metromix has described Disturbed as:
    “Disturbed II” is not a haunted house, per se, but this 15-minute play by Oracle Productions just might be more bone-chilling than any haunted spectacle.


    Last year Disturbed enjoyed a Sold out run; dont be left behind this year. Secure your tickets now! You can buy online, by clicking the Buy Tickets link in the lefthand panel.


    Last year Time Out Chicago called the original DISTURBED, “crap-your-pants scary,” claiming, “…the storefront mind-fuck…makes for a wicked (Halloween) alternative.” Once again combining live action, multimedia, sound and special effects DISTURBED II bombards participants with a gruesome multi-sensory experience. This year, company member Colby Hanik spearheads the technically stunning endeavor as both writer and director. The performances feature company members David Boren and Julie Potesta on stage, Jorge Madrigal’s always impressive lighting design, Aaron DeYoung’s menacing sound landscape, and Justin Warren’s haunting make-up design.


    DISTURBED II runs at Oracle Theatre, 3809 N. Broadway October 12-14, 18-21, and 25-31 at 8PM with 15 minute performances every half hour until 11:30PM. Admission is $9 donation at the door, $7 dollars with advanced reservation; reservations are recommended, but not required.

    Holla...
    Here is the deal peeps...

    I turn 26 on the 25th of July...which is a Wednesday. Middle of the week. But I have things going on the weekend before and the weekend after.

    Plus...I try not to discriminate againt Wednesdays...especially when my BIRTHDAY falls on one.


    So I am having a fiesta at WhirlyBall on Weds the 25th. For those of you who have never played WhirlyBall before you are in for a treat (I popped my cherry about six months ago).


    In short, it is bumper cars mixed with whiffle ball mixed with beer and liquor.

    Check out the website for all the details: http://www.whirlyball.com/what/

    Yes it is also a bar (you lushes) so you are all invited to just come and celebrate...BUT...I am trying to figure out how many people want to play so I know how long to rent the court for.


    I am thinking either 8pm-9:30 or 8pm to 10pm. Everyone will be rotating in and out in 15 minute intervals.


    I am GUESSING it will come to between $10 and $15 per player...well worth it! But we will split up the cost evenly amoung the # of players the night of.


    So RSVP in one of 3 ways:
    1) Call me at (847) 414-9205
    2) Myspace me
    3) Email me at aaron@oracletheatre.org

    Recaping...
    My B-Day,
    July 25th, 7pm-11pm
    WhirlyBall is at 1880 West Fullerton, Chicago, IL 60614
    Are you gonna play or just hang out?

    If you are not comming I expect a creative excuse!
    Peace and Carrots,
    Aaron Shapiro
