'The Devil on The Wall' comes to Side Street Studio Arts Aug. 19

"The Devil on The Wall" will be presented from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, at Side Street Studio Arts, 15 Ziegler Court in downtown Elgin.

Jamie Campbell relives the time he was kidnapped as a child in this solo performance that is part comedy, part storytelling, and 100 percent true. Travel back to 1991 as Jamie returns to what he calls the "greatest adventure of my life." Harrowing at points, and astounding in others, the veteran comedian deftly walks the line between comedy and tragedy, exposing his own faults, and refusing to play the victim card. The production was the surprise hit of the KC Fringe Festival where it was the only solo show named "Best of Fest." Out of the 92 participating productions, none received better reviews.

The show's national tour comes to Elgin's Side Street Studio Arts for a special matinee performance.

Tickets are a $10 suggested donation. For more information, visit www.sidestreetstudioarts.org.
