The show runs July 19 through 22 at the Den Theatre, 1331 N. Milwaukee, in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood. It’s described as “an uproarious, hour-long physical storytelling comedy that is too funny for words. A silent play inspired by the slapstick comedies of the 1920s with a modern sensibility that is fun for the whole family!” For tickets, call 773-697-3830 or click here.
