Flanagan's Wake, the interactive comedy that has run for 16 years in Chicago.
Flanagan's Wake "invites you to join the villagers of Grapplin, Ireland as they mourn and grieve the passing of one of their own as only the Irish can," according to show notes. "Help celebrate Flanagan's life and mourn his death with a few pints and plenty of tears - of laughter! Flanagan's Wake is perfect for groups - so grab your friends, gather 'round the casket and raise a glass for the man 'Himself' in true Irish fashion."
The work which has played across the country at venues in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Rochester, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Minneapolis and Detroit was conceived by Jack Bronis and inspired by Joe Liss. Credited as collaborators are Amy Binns-Calvey, Geoff Binns-Calvey, Jimmy Binns, Jack Bronis, Mark Czoske, Phil Lusardi, Pat Musker and Bonnie Shadrake (who created the score).
