All aspects of The Theatre School's Mess Fest product highlight student work. (DePaul University/Diane Smutny)The Theatre School's inaugural Mess Fest Comedy Festival is set to kick off in-person on Oct. 27. The two-week festival runs through Nov. 7 and embraces the messiness of life. All members of the university community are welcome to purchase tickets. Festival passes are $15 for entry to any of the festival's productions. Discounted $5 passes are available for DePaul students.
Mess Fest is the first-ever student-driven comedy festival—every aspect of production highlights student work. The festival originated from the idea of the joy in the return to live performance. Many performances may contain mature language, sexual themes, mild violence and loud sounds. This does not include the designated family-friendly performances, “Clown Cabaret" and “I Spy: a Top-Secret Family Comedy Show." Embrace your weirdness with The Theatre School for two full weeks.
