Now Playing at Chicago's Annoyance Theater

I came across this when skimming a fine blog dedicated to Chicago's Uptown Neighborhood and had to chuckle.

Those gay people sure can tickle your funny bone!

Bear Force One

The Annoyance pays gay homage to the classic Harrison Ford thriller “Air Force One” with “Bear Force One.”

After a series of unexpected assassinations, Buck Marshall, Secretary of Agriculture, and ninth in line for the Presidency, finds himself the first gay “bear” President of the United States. Like his chest, the world he steps into is quite hairy. The Pope has just been taken prisoner after his crack terrorist organization, the CCD, assassinated the last 8 Presidents in order to bring a message of decency back to the world.

All Buck wants to do is escape to Key West with his “First Cub,” daughter India-China, and his newly assembled queer cabinet. But as he boards “Air Force One” for some R & R, the CCD have plans of their own!

“Bear Force One” is directed by veteran director of Boston’s Improv Assylum, Leah Gotcsik. The show was written by the cast. The cast includes veteran performers from the The Annoyance, iO, GayCo, and The Second City.
