DEVILISH TREATS ON FRIDAY THE 13TH!
Friday the 13th marks more than a day of superstitious observance: when it falls in February of 2009, it’s also a BIRTHDAY marking the start of Year Six for SUPERNATURAL CHICAGO. And for audience members attending this specific performance, special treats are planned.
The weekly show has always been a surprising entertainment value, as each ticket purchased also includes two beverages and cover charge to Excalibur nightclub for the rest of the evening. But on Friday the 13th, guests will enjoy an extra perk: delicious cupcakes for the whole audience … devil’s food, of course.
In every performance of SUPERNATURAL CHICAGO, Neil Tobin, Necromancer’s acclaimed one-man show, guests are invited to experience Chicago’s paranormal past through a unique and entertaining blend of compelling stories, incredible psychic magic, and audience-engaging interactive fun—all in a landmark nightspot that’s been called one of the city’s most haunted locations!
“A perennial hot ticket” — Newsday
“Best Bet” — Metromix
“Is it real? Or isn’t it?” — Chicago Tribune
“Great experience for out-of-towners” — Chicago Reader
“Tobin’s act is riveting as he segues from legend to legend” — Wednesday Journal
“He’ll teach you about Chicago’s paranormal history and get you involved in psychic experiments that put Jedi mind tricks to shame.” — Red Eye Chicago
