Special Encore Engagement - One Night Only! September 30th, 2017
Beatniks proudly presents an encore performance of  SCREW IT: DOIN’ TIME ON THE LINE  by Tim Campos.  After completing a sold out run in Ann Arbor, MI and Chicago, IL, Lansing, IL actor and playwright Tim Campos performs his new one-person show Screw It: Doin' Time on the Line at Beatniks on Conkey, Saturday September 30, 2017. Directed by Antoine McKay, a leading director and actor from the Midwest, the show chronicles Campos’ near decade of personal experiences working the assembly line for Ford Motor Company in both Saline, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois. Campos performs over fifty unique characters in this hilarious and poignant fast-paced show. Screw It: Doin’ Time on the Line is a daring solo performance that gives a glimpse into the factories of one of America’s largest companies. Campos takes the audience on a no holds barred adventure as he shares his intimate portrait of factory life.  In Screw It: Doin’ Time on the Line, twenty-seven-year-old actor Tim returns home to Detroit financially broke after performing his play in Los Angeles. Like many others in the Motor City, he takes a job with Ford Motor Company to recoup his finances and to move out of his sister’s house. His ‘one-year and done’ promise to himself turns into nearly a decade after he reaps the benefits of a steady paycheck and a job where he can manipulate the system. Tim treats the assembly line like a stage, using daily doses of pranks and absurdity to keep from going insane. All the while, trying to figure out the perfect escape from the factory life. The show contains explicit language throughout.  Screw It: Doin’ Time on the Line features Original Music by Ryan Bentley, Ray Smetana,  Quasar Wut-Wut.  The performance time for Screw It: Doin’ Time on the Line, is Saturday, March 18 at 8pm, doors open 1/2 hour early.  The cost is $15.00 and refreshments are included.   Beatniks On Conkey is located at 420 Conkey St.  Hammond, Indiana.   for more info call Beatniks on Conkey at 219-852-0848 or go to www.beatniksonconkey.com   You can purchase tickets on line at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3045242
