AT THIS ANNOYANCE RESIDENCY SHOW...
The Annoyance presents Disco Demolition!
“DISCO DEMOLITION NIGHT,” fresh off a six-week blockbuster run at Brooklyn’s Annoyance Theatre, tells the true story of the most ill-fated baseball promotion in Chicago history, when a White Sox game turned into a violent anti-Disco rally. This show’s got it all: a live organist, a peg leg, green meth pills, slobs, snobs, professional baseball players, a spokesmodel, a nun, live vaping, horny teens, and the Chicago Police Department. All backed up by the real historical record. Witness the horrors of populism as America’s pastime devolves into a deep-dish rock n’ roll riot. One night only.
