In 2012 The Wilmette Theatre will be presenting an Annoyance production every other month. We are looking forward to having everyone "GET ANNOYED IN WILMETTE!"...... Interviews, press passes available. Thanks again for helping get the word out. Best, Nili The Wilmette Theatre announces a new partnership with Chicago's renowned Annoyance Theatre....... Wilmette, a North Shore suburb known for it upper class population, top-rated schools, and tony shops, will get down-and-dirty when Chicago's Annoyance Theatre -- renowned for it inventive, yet edgy shows -- crosses the border to present its flagship show, "Co-Ed Prison Sluts" This suburban trek is just one gutsy move on the part of Jennifer Estlin, the Annoyance Theatre's president, executive producer, and owner. In these roles, she's pushing Chicago's bad boy of comedy and improvisation in new directions. The production -- considered lewd, but very funny -- will run one night only, Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011, 8 pm, at The Wilmette Theatre, 1122 Central Ave, Wilmette, IL. 847-251-7424. And on Nov. 16, it brings Susan Messing and her "Messing With A Friend" to the same fancy North Shore suburb. About "Co-Ed Prison Sluts" "Co-Ed Prison Sluts" originally opened in April 1988 at Annoyance's first home on Broadway in Chicago. It then ran every weekend until June of 2000. It re-opened in 2008 in celebration of the Annoyance's 20th anniversary, and continues today at 4830 N. Broadway, which makes it Chicago's longest running musical. "Co-Ed Prison Sluts" follows the prison's newest inmate, Alice, as she learns the ropes from the other inane inmates including Hamster Man, The Dame, Skeeter, Slick, Henry, and Dr. Bellows and his dog Fluffy. And she learns the number one rule - to fear the dreaded Clown. With hit songs such as "Hey We're in Prison", "Sh*t, M*ther-F*cker" If you'd like to interview Estlin or Napier, or see any of the shows at the Annoyance, I'd be pleased to make that happen.
