Star Wars Comedy Weekend coming to Steel Beam Theatre in St. Charles May 19-21
Steel Beam Theatre is bringing a Star Wars Comedy Weekend to St. Charles May 19-21.
On Friday, May 19, and Sunday, May 21, Steel Beam Theatre will be bringing the hilarious yet moving one-woman-show "The Princess Strikes Back: One Woman's Search for the Space Cowboy of Her Dreams" to St. Charles as the anchor to Star Wars Comedy Weekend.
Starring actress and comedian Victoria Montalbano, "The Princess Strikes Back" is a thrilling romp that tells the star's search for love despite none of her prospects ever living up to the shadow cast by her first crush: Han Solo. There is plenty of Star Wars material, and at the same time provides a touch of romance and comedy treasure.
"The Princess Strikes Back is selling out houses in Chicago. Now we're bringing this amazing one-woman-show to St. Charles. It's like getting the chance to see Lily Tomlin's 'The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe' or Carrie Fisher's 'Wishful Drinking' in their heyday," adds Steel Beam's Rikki Lee Travolta.
On Saturday, May 20, Star Wars Comedy Weekend at Steel Beam Theatre will feature the Any Suggestions? Improv Troupe in a special sci fi-themed show that would make even master Jedi Luke Skywalker break his stoic demeanor.
"Any Suggestions: May The Force Be With Us All" is a night of improv and comedy that will have any Star Wars fan laughing their storm trooper boots off. The night will be filled with quick witted improv entertainment including taking suggestions from the audience.
"Any Suggestions? Improv Troupe is always hysterical. Having a special Star Wars themed show will keep the comedy running all night. We are expecting people to be rolling in the aisles," said Steel Beam's managing director Catie Early.
In addition to the comedy of Victoria Montalbano's "The Princess Strikes Back" and "Any Suggestions: May The Force Be With Us," Steel Beam will be hosting a costume contest at the theatre.
Star Wars fans will be able to submit a photo of their costume ahead of time on Facebook, winners will be voted on during the Any Suggestions: May The Force Be With Us event on May 20. Full details will be available at www.SteelBeamTheatre.com.
"Star Wars Comedy Weekend is not to be missed. Whether you are local to St. Charles are coming in from the city or one of the neighboring communities, you'll have an out of this world comedic experience with Steel Beam in May," says Steel Beam artistic director Marge Uhlarik-Boller.
