Pay 2 Slay at the Public House Theatre

FROM THE PRODUCERS OF “BYE BYE LIVER” COMES A SPOOKY SKETCH SHOW FULL OF HALLOWEEN TREATS

Revel, if you dare, in the frightful delights of alien autopsy, angst-ridden horror icons, pigeonholed literary giants, aged-out trick-or-treaters, and an ill-advised up and comer who may or may not have what it takes to rise to the top.

A little bawdy and a little bloody, “Pay 2 Slay” is a weekly sketch show from the producers of “Bye Bye Liver.” Featuring the collective madness of the eerily gifted Public House Theatre ensemble, “Pay 2 Slay” is an absurd, nostalgic, unnerving celebration of the amusement and terror unique to the Halloween season. And also of candy.

“Pay 2 Slay” was created by Craig Barnes, Patrick Zielinski and The Public House Theatre Ensemble, and directed by Patrick Zielinski. The show opens on Friday, October 7^th and runs on Fridays and Saturdays at 10pm until October 29^th. Runtime: 50 min. Tickets: $10.

DRINK SPECIALS

Bucket Specials: $14-$20 (PBR, Bud Lite, Miller Lite)
Spooktacular Shots: $5 (Zombie Brains, Vampires, Ghostbusters)
Special Drinks: Great Lakes Oktoberfest, Angry Orchard Green Apple, Snakebites

ABOUT THE PUBLIC HOUSE THEATRE

The friendliest theatre in Chicago invites you to enjoy a show or two that “puts the efforts of Saturday Night Live to shame (Chicago SunTimes),” where “The modus operandi seems to be coming up with the sort of ideas that seem brilliant when you’re smashed at 2 a.m. and then…actually making them work. (The Examiner)” If you’re thirsty, take advantage of the excellent drink deals at the full bar, especially if you’re a fine whiskey or craft beer lover. With any show on any night of the week, it’s “impossible to not have a good time (TimeOut Chicago).”

The Public House Theatre: 3914 N. Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60613 | ThePubTheatre.com
