The Ray's Tap Reading Series Has Allergies

The Ray's Tap Reading Series will return November 9th for a show called The Ray's Tap Reading Series Has Allergies.

Water, cold, peanuts, cats, sunshine, mold, pollen, eggs, penicillin, anesthesia, tree nuts, seafood, latex, human touch and even exercise are making us break out into hives, speeding up our hearts and in some cases, killing us. Now Isn't that ridiculous?   The show will be about dissecting allergies and our bored and nonsensical immune systems,  mistaking mostly harmless and sometimes helpful things for dangerous enemies.

When:  November 9th. 10 PM.

Where:  The Prop Thtr. 3502 N. Elston Avenue

Who:  Featuring the work of Natalie Edwards, David Isaacson, Charlotte Hamilton, Dave Snyder, Matt Test, Ruth McCormack, Erin Kahoa, Daniel Shapiro, Mark Chrisler, Tim Racine, Mason Johnson, Margaret Chapman and featuring the music of Tijuana Hercules. Hosted by Chris Bower.

How much?:  The show is 15 dollars or pay-what-you-can (Seriously)  We need to pay for the space but if you are broke, throw in a dollar. If you are really broke, come for free.  Proceeds go to pay for the space, posters, buttons and the rest goes to the performers.

Will  there be a bar?  Yes.

Will there be a poster?  Yes, there will be a poster very soon. Susie Kirkwood is hard at work.

Will there be buttons? Yes, there are always buttons.

Will it be funny?  Yes, it will be funny and a lot of other things too.
