This is a past event.
An unhappy young Chicago bar owner lands a chance to play for the Bears in this Pub Theater comedy. The show is billed as being "by Bears fans, for Bears fans," and establishes its bona fides with esoteric name-dropping and drunken exasperation on game day ("Vasher, you're killing me!"). But implausibilities made it hard for me to identify with this brand of fandom even before things turned completely surreal with an appearance by a Phantom of the Opera-esque Rex Grossman. Still, supporting actors Austin Campion and Eric Pedersen score big laughs with over-the-top takes on Grossman, Mike Ditka, Jay Cutler ("You'll hear me in every child's laughter"), and a dorky everyman with a homoerotic, pathological devotion to the team. --Ryan Hubbard
