Mike Daisey, Holly Hughes, Tim Miller, et al. Set for Chicago’s Victory Gardens Biograph Theater

Mike Daisey will perform his most recent one-man shows in 2010 at the Victory Gardens Biograph Theater: How Theater Failed America (April 26-May 1) and The Last Cargo Cult (May 5-9).

In the former show, Daisey examines the state of theater in America and seeks answers to essential questions about the art, while The Last Cargo Cult examines the international financial crisis and wrestles with the questions of what the collapse means, and what it says about our deepest values.

Victory Gardens has also announced the lineup of performers who will be appearing in Freshly Squeezed, a series of special events and off-beat, off-night performances. The series will begin with a one-night-only performance The New Colony’s Walk of Shame – Queer (February 27), while other offerings will be Tim Miller’s Lay of the Land (March 15-21), Holly Hughes’ The Dog and Pony Show (March 18-21), Rohina’s Unveiled (March 24 April 4) and The Neo-Futurists’ Too Much LADY Makes the Baby Go Blind (April 19).
