French With Me 6

Our popular gala returns for its sixth year, revamped and refilled with love just in time for Valentine's Day.

For the last five years, French With Me has featured short original works by up-and-coming playwrights and showcased the amazing talents of Chicago storefront actors and directors. This year performances will be integrated with the event in a style evoking 18th century French salons. Come share the conversation with us.

Pieces, created and conceived by Strangeloop Company Members, range from sonnets and short plays to monologues, movement and music. Love comes in all shapes and sizes at French With Me.

Musical act, Arcana -- a Chicago-based brass band featuring the talents of Joe Clark (trumpet), Mark Hiebert (bari sax), Will Russell (tuba) and David Agee (drums) -- will close out the night.

French With Me 6 takes place at 8 p.m. on Saturday, February 13, at Vagabond School of the Arts (4001 N Ravenswood Ave #504, Chicago, IL 60613). There will be performances and food and drinks galore!

XOXOXO!
