The Full Monty at Paramount Theater (Co-Op)
From the unemployment line to the self-made man, The Full Monty bares it all! This side-splitting musical follows Jerry, Dave, and pals, part of a group of unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, New York. With their backs to the wall, they decide to create a male strip show to help pay their mortgages and provide for their families after layoffs. Facing economic – and in some cases – personal disaster, and their insecurities, these taboo-busting boys bare their souls and their bodies. Thanks to a hearty blue-collar work ethic, they happily abandon the daily unemployment grind for a different kind of grind, stripping off the layers of toxic masculinity to reflect the true ingenuity of the American spirit – gettin’ it done! The Full Monty delivers a feel-good experience that challenges stereotypes and celebrates the triumph of the human spirit. Lunch will be on your own and self-pay at a local restaurant. Transportation is by Park District bus. Minimal walking involved with this trip. Registration deadline is September 6 and refunds will not be issued after the deadline.
