Triple Sow Cow Productions returns to the CheckOut after their sold out debut in June with a new show Nicky Mendelsohn Has Friends: A Holiday Barnburner! Nicky and his friends are a gift. A gift, they'd like to give to you. End 2026 by keeping the yuletide gay with Nicky, his friends, a live band, and visit from Santa! (jk- Santa is booked but still). At this performance Nicky and his friends will be collecting donations for CALOR, an organization supporting communities of color impacted by HIV/AIDS in Chicago. Featuring: Shannon Johnson, Nick Petrelli, Patrick Hill, Natalie Burdick, Josh Peduto, and Jackson Mikkelsen Band: Dylan Feldpausch, Rebecca McDaniel, Patrick Hill (music director) Poster design: Nick Thornton
