At THE INFINITE WRENCH you’ll see thirty original plays in sixty minutes, written and performed by The Neo-Futurist Ensemble.
Each play offers something different, be it funny, profound, elegant, disgusting, topical, irreverent, terrifying, or a song; all are truthful and tackle the here-and-now, inspired by the lived experiences of the performers. With new plays every week, THE INFINITE WRENCH is The Neo-Futurists’ ongoing and ever-changing attempt to shift the conventions of live performance and speak to those unreached or unmoved by traditional theater.
Every Friday & Saturday at 10:30pm, Sundays at 7:00 at The Neo-Futurist Theater (5153 N. Ashland – intersection of Foster & Ashland). Get your tickets in advance, or just walk up to the door with cash or card in hand. Easy.
NOTE: Masks are required At The Neo-Futurist Theater. Read our Health & Safety Policy here.
What is it? Critics say…
“Thirty years and one major name change later, the Neo-Futurists’ signature show…continues to pack them in late nights with [30 short plays] about everything under the sun.”
— Chicago Tribune
“Any version of The Infinite Wrench is going to be a surprising, occasionally powerful, often hilarious and always entertaining evening.”
– Chicago On Stage
“…the ingenuity and engagement of the work not only remains but has deepened….the ensemble maps thorny social, psychological, and political terrain with foolishness and ferocity.”
— Chicago Reader
