Columbia College Chicago Theatre Department alums are in the company of the devised theatre piece The F*ggots and Their Fr*ends Between R*volutions, a new theatrical adaptation of the 1977 book The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions by writer Larry Mitchell and illustrator Ned Asta. Described as “an imaginative adventure filled with laughter, dancing, puppets, gay sex, possibly illegal activity, and a run time of 90 minutes” by the company, the show runs July 25 through August 4 at the Bramble Arts Loft, located at 5545 N. Clark in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. For more information and tickets, click here.

Described by the Chicago Reader as “a poetic, vividly rendered adaptation” of the 1977 underground “queer fairytale-cum-manifesto” by Calamus Books founder Larry Mitchell, the production is devised by its ensemble of performers and production folks.

 

Among them are Columbia College alums Hugo Beckett ’19, a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BA Program in Acting, and Sierra Kruse ’22, a graduate of the Theatre Department’s BA Program in Theatre, as well as Liz Johnson ’19, a graduate of Columbia College’s BA Program in Cinema & Television Arts with a Minor in Writing for Television.
