HOGWASH is an hour long extravaganza of the arts, implementing improvisation,
music, storytelling, drama, for an educational afternoon of family
theatre. Seasoned actors jump into action at the kooky suggestions
of each brilliant audience of 3 -103 year old narrators, who drive
the exciting plot into a world of unknown possibilities. As each weird
story is acted out, graphic artists paint props, draw backdrops, and
illustrate key set designs to enhance the bizarre reality of every
tale. Local jazz / funk band The Hamstrings score every scene with
an instrumental soundtrack that elevates every exciting moment.
HOGWASH was created by veteran Chicago writer/comedian & artistic
director of Jerk Alert Productions Jason Anfinsen who says, "HOGWASH
is a testament to live theater with audience interaction that the entire
family can participate in and learn from. Our eclectic bonanza of the
arts was created to allow the imaginations of the children and their
parents to fuel every special show, a performance that is guaranteed
to never be created for another audience again."
HOGWASH is one of dozens of art projects created and produced by Jerk
Alert Productions, an independent theatrical collective of actors,
writers, directors, musicians, painters responsible for some of the
freshest underground theater, books, and films on the planet including:
Stimulus, D & J, Haener Vs. Haener, Pep Rally, Kitchen Sink, Juke
All Over Your Face, Stab At Sleep, Popularity Contest & Fun Factory.
