pH Productions, a Chicago-based improv and comedy theater company, is celebrating of 5 years of performance with a big pH Birthday Bash Monday, November 14 at 7:00 pm at the Lakeshore Theater.

The Bastion has been on hand for a few pH shows recently, including Jerkology as well as pHamily and pHrenzy.

They promise "a huge night of pH comedy, live music, and a silent auction with fantastic prizes," as well as performances of some of pH’s most popular original shows, such as pHrenzy, pHamily the Musical and Women on Top.

How serious is pH Productions about their art? Pretty serious. They have a mission statement, yo. "Established in 2002, pH Productions is a performance ensemble dedicated to educating and exposing non-traditional audiences to live theater. pH's original comedic productions continually test the boundaries of form, humor and audience participation to provide the highest quality entertainment."

The party is Monday, November 12, from 7:00 to 11:00 pm at the Lakeshore Theater, 3175 North Broadway. Admission is free, although (especially given pH's non-profit status), the generous of spirit are welcome to make a donation.

Okay, so we caved. But we still support our WGA brothers and sisters. Now back to your regularly scheduled revolution.
