See Indiana Jones and Star Wars ... In Burlesque

Looking for a unique way to spend your weekend in Bucktown? We may have found it for you.

You can always count on The Gorilla Tango Theatre for a little creativity—and hilarity. 

This weekend is no exception. The theater's ongoing shows, "Temple of Boobs: An Indiana Jones Burlesque" and "The Empire Brings Sexy Back: A Star Wars Burlesque Sequel" continue this weekend.

In Friday's "Indiana Jones" parody, an all female cast performs the adventure, which includes saving a sacred statue.

Saturday's "Star Wars" includes the an insurgent "Rebel Scum" who destroyed his glorious Peace Globe and of course, "Dear Lord Vader" and his undeterred quest to cleanse the galaxy of the Jedi scourge.

"His Esteemed Darthness invites you to join us on the Star Destroyer Enduring Freedom to witness firsthand as the vile criminal Luke Skywalker and his Galactic Terrorists are routed from their stronghold on the ice-planet Hoth and stripped bare of all defenses to expose the naked truth of their brazen lawlessness," the play's description says.

Both the Friday Indiana Jones show and the Saturday Star Wars show start at 10:30 p.m. Tickets are $35.
