The Inevitable “Dirt Nap” Impends Upon the Gorilla Tango Theatre

(CHICAGO, IL) – Death is coming!  Not just for one, but for all, eventually.  The fact is, every animal on the planet is destined to take one final breath before cashing in; checking out; meeting their maker; paying the piper; kicking the bucket; buying the pine box condo; biting the big one; becoming worm food.  The choice:  either waste time crying over the impending endless vacation or laugh in the face of death.  Regardless, everyone is destined for a Dirt Nap. 

Creepy Hug’s eighth sketch show, Dirt Nap, is a high-energy revue that makes light of the eternal darkness.  With songs, puppies and puppets, the ensemble cast finds laughs in facing one’s fears, a doctor’s bad news, and a dying mother’s final request.  In addition to being an hour of engaging comedy, Dirt Nap will help show goers come to terms with that fatal flop, the cessation siesta, the terminal trance, necrosis nod, hibernation in heaven, etc.

Creepy Hug’s Dirt Nap appears at the Gorilla Tango Theatre at 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays from September 18 through October 10.  Tickets are $12 for general admission. 

Dirt Nap stars: Collin Blackard, Jillian Burfete, Lisa Burton, Ryan McDermott, Amy Sterritt Lavery, and Christopher Perez.  Directed by David Rocco Facchini.  Written and produced by Dan Facchini, David Rocco Facchini, Matt Noonan and Greg Wendling.
