CHICAGO, Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- The St. Valentines Day Massacre is the
crime that forever defined Chicago in the imagination of the world. On the
morning of February 14th, Al Capone sent a Valentine to "Bugs" Moran and the
north side mob ... a massacre leaving seven of Morans men dead.
Since Tommy Guns Garage is Chicagos only south side speakeasy, and
therefore part of the Capone gang, Tommy Guns will reenact the massacre for
audiences on February 9th - 14th.
This is not a romantic evening. After the dinner and show, guests are
invited to watch what happened that morning at the garage of the SMC Cartage
Company, 2122 North Clark Street. Vito, the MC, narrates the story, giving
audiences a history of why this happened and who the seven unfortunate victims
were.
Actors portray each of the seven victims, who believed that they were at
the garage to pick up a shipment of hijacked Old Log Cabin Whiskey. After all
the men "arrive" two of Capones men pretend to be police officers and line up
all the men to be handcuffed. In walk two more men and they all open fire on
the actors. To achieve realism, each "victim" is equipped with blood bags
that burst when the gun is fired.
This is Tommy Guns 19th year reenacting the St. Valentines Day Massacre.
Call 773-RAT-A-TAT for prices and reservations.
Tommy Guns Garage is Chicagos longest running audience interactive
dinner theater show. A night at Tommy Guns is a night in Prohibition-era
Chicago, complete with singing, dancing, and musical comedy starring Vito and
his gangsters and flappers. The evening of the massacres include the same
dinner packages and show.
