Do This: The Neoccasion

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Oct 19, 2012 10:00PM

2012_10_19_neoccasion.jpg For over 25 years The Neo-Futurists have produced a wide, varied and brave series of plays ranging from their current 44 Plays for 44 Presidents to the long running Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind.

On Oct. 20 (that’s tomorrow) The Neo-Futurists host “The Neoccasion,” an evening of food, beer, music, live auction and a performance of 44 Plays. There are three price options for The Neoccasion starting at $80.87— one penny for each of the 8,087 plays produced by the company. Buy tickets online here. (Cocktail attire is required.)

If that’s a budget buster but you still wish to sample the over 30 beers The Neo-Futurists have put together for the occasion, a “Neoccasion Lite” has been set up from 2-5 p.m. For $20 in advance ($25 at the door) you’ll get entry to the beer tasting and a commemorative Neo-Futurists tasting glass. For advance tickets visit the link above, email here or call 773-878-4557.

The Neo-Futurists is located at 5153 N. Ashland Ave.
