Bluegrass band Henhouse Prowlers are headlining a Black Friday benefit this week. They ask that you bring a nonperishable food item to be donated to the Greater Chicago Food depository. You can dance off the turkey while helping a good cause! We are also very excited for our second ever comedy podcast recording with the amazing Famous Brothers' Honky-Tonk Hootenanny this Sunday! They've been picking up a lot of heat; Chicago Tribune calls them "exceptionally witty" and Windy City Times raves, "a surefire crowd-pleaser, keeping the audience laughing and clapping along." I wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Mayne Stage and Act One Pub. Cheers! Chris Ritter General Manager PS.
