The Conspirators Stage Marx Brothers Classic "Duck Soup" at the New Stars and Garters Theater The talented cast works in a neo-commedia mode of performance called "The Style," delivering a fast-paced, riotous production.

New review! "What makes “Duck Soup” turn, however, is not the wit of each joke told, but rather the delivery by a cast as adept at producing laughter as any in Chicago. An audience member quietly told me after the show’s conclusion that “There was more laughter in there than a Second City show.”".

We made the New City Top 5 for November, along with Steppenwolf's 'Amadeus' directed by Robert Falls, Lyric Opera's 'Mellon Collie ...' (Smashing Pumpkins) and Alicia Key's 'Hell's Kitchen' - Broadway in Chicago. Not too shabby! www.newcitystage.com/2025/11/03/s...

Another day, another glowing review of 'Duck Soup!'. "If you have not seen the original movie, you will head home after the show and watch and see how good this cast is. This is a play for our times. See it and weep." - Chicago Stage & Screen. Link for tix events.humanitix.com/the-conspira...

How many jobs does Martin Short need? And is Alec Baldwin just too dang busy with his reality show brood? Match Game :-)

1st hang of the tardy Spring on the roof - there's a certain building in the middle of the gloriousness of the Chicago skyline that detracts from it. I give that building the middle finger daily.
