The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler
Directed by Kaitlen Osburn this staged reading of The Vagina Monologues celebrates and empowers the female voice and is a fantastic addition to the Naked July Festival's theme of purity. Men and women alike should mark this event on their calendars. No one should miss this great reading.

Where's Tricky by Michael Sokoloff
Resident Playwright Michael Sokoloff returns with more original work for NPT to kick the shit out of poker night. Laurence Bryan directs the staged reading of Where's Tricky. Where's Tricky is a supreme aggression toward the real “bad guys”. “When you summon the trickster who comes?” Like nothing you've ever seen.

The National Pastime Theater Welcomes: The IMPENDING BEHAVIOR ORCHESTRA Dr. Bonobo's Dance Party: An improvised splendor of sound and sight.
music: Barry Bennett, Toru Hironaka, Edward Reardon video: Kristin Reeves

IBO co-founder, Kristin Reeves is in town so NPT is helping us throw a party ! Ole Bennett is getting the boys in the Dr. Bonobo together for  what is advertised as a “improvised splendor of sound and sight” — come with the corkscrew ready for your mind and lets behave together… NPT has space to move if so inclined. This performance marks Bennett’s first return to NPT’s stage in 12 years! He started his chicago career at NPT, where he was once a company member and MiLkBabY scored shows such as Yuba City and The Possessed. NPT was a great influence on him and he is looking forward to this return…
