Ghostlight Ensemble presents the next installment of its ongoing live movie reading series: The Dude Abides: A Live Reading of The Big Lebowski. Join us at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 23, at Black Eagle Club (1938 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613), and we’ll raise a White Russian to this Coen Brothers classic! The Big Lebowski is a 1998 crime comedy film written, produced and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. All Jeff ‘the Dude’ Lebowski wants to do is go bowling, but when he’s mistaken for L.A. millionaire — the titular Big Lebowski — and a pair of thugs pee on his rug, he’s forced to take action. And so the laziest man in Los Angeles County takes on nihilists, ferrets and empire tycoons, guzzling White Russians all the while. The reading is directed by John Gleason Teske. Food and drink is available for purchase at Black Eagle Club. For those who imbibe, a drinking game will accompany this performance. There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door, which will help Ghostlight fund its upcoming season.
