Corn Productions’ daring and twisted My Girlfriend is the Devil portrays a surreal sitcom about a very amateur improv troupe, and it is delightful. Opening with a fake-out audience address and closing on a TV report coming from inside the sitcom, the play sets itself up to tear down some almost Inception-deep layers of convention.

"The Wild Party," a dark,
sensual, wanton musical, and "Men Should Weep," a tale of a disordered Scottish
tenement household, took home top honors Monday, June 8, at Park West during the 42nd
Annual Non-Equity Jeff Awards ceremony recognizing excellence in non-union Chicago
theatre. Bailiwick Chicago's musical of Michael LaChiusa's "The Wild Party" led all
musical nominees with eight awards, and Griffin Theatre's "Men Should Weep" led play
nominees with three awards.
