The Dollar Store Show Tour: Chicago Launch BBQ Patio Party
Event for featherproof books
For three years, The Dollar Store has sold out its hometown venue with its blue-collar literature, absurdist humor, and a circus of junk. This summer, Zach Dodson, co-founder of featherproof books, will host a month long Dollar Store tour.
Each writer or comedian is given an item purchased at a local dollar store (mundane to insane) and a month to craft a story that involves the item as directly or obliquely as the performer wishes. The show has been featured on National Public Radio and in newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune and The New York Times.
Readings by: Tobias Amadon Bengelsdorf, Nicolette Bond, Chris Bower, Aaron Burch, Elizabeth Crane, Zach Dodson, Natalie Edwards, Amelia Gray, Mary Hamilton, Lindsay Hunter, Jac Jemc, Jonathan Messinger, Caroline Picard, Patrick Somerville, Diana Slickman, Scott Stealey, Jill Summers, Robbie Q. Telfer
Improv by: 1, 2, Fag and Hag! (Seth Dodson, Kellen Alexander and Christina Boucher), and An Oak (Neil Dandade and Adam Schwartz)
It's ALSO a big barbeque, and all you can eat drumsticks, and veggie burgers, and fixin's, and corn-on-the-cob, and picnic sides!
Oh, and one more thing: we’re raffling off a custom-built, featherproof-themed bike, compliments of Working Bikes Cooperative.
This afternoon delight will cost $8 at the door, and for $8 you get 8 things:
1. Admission
2. A featherproof mini book
3. Readings by Chicago’s finest
4. Improv by Chicago’s funniest
5. All the barbeque you can eat
6. Your very own Dollar Store official souvenir pin
7. A Working Bikes bike raffle ticket
8. A shot at a missed connection, and the time of your life.
