Legendary performance artist Penny Arcade makes her long-awaited Chicago debut with Longing Lasts Longer, a show that The Arts Review Dublin called "a radical rock and roll rallying cry." A blend of razor sharp satire, memoir and comedy, Longing Lasts Longer’s street smarts and exuberance open a crack in our planet’s post-gentrified landscape.

Do you look for smart satire? Comedy? A transformational experience in the theatre? Longing Lasts Longer delivers all this and more, set to a rock and roll soundtrack drawn from some of the best pop music of the past 60 years, live mixed by Penny's long time collaborator Steve Zehentner. This show will have you will have you rocking in your seat.

Longing Lasts Longer has been a hit in over 40 cities worldwide. While it is impossible to actually describe a Penny Arcade show because it is an experience. but some people have tried to put it in words:

"Sing it, Penny" -- New York Times

"She alternates her charm with wake-up calls, her humor with rage. Arcade in her marvelous middle age is a lovely example to us all. Yes, you've got to tell all your truth to power, but you don't have to stop dancing to do it." -- Time Out

This presentation is made possible through a collaboration between City Winery Chicago, Torito Arts NFP and Unbound Artists.

Penny Arcade, aka Susana Ventura, is an internationally respected performance artist, actress, poet & theater maker. She made her world debut in 1968 at 18 with New York’s explosive Play-House of the Ridiculous, the seminal rock and roll, queer, glitter/glam political theater. She became a Warhol Superstar at 19 featured in the 1972 Warhol/Morrissey comedy, "Women in Revolt".

She is the author of over ten full-length works and hundreds of solo performance pieces. Her text-based work has always focused on the other and the outsider, on individuality and authenticity. Her focus on community building as the goal of performance and performance as a transformative act, marks her as an original on the world stage.

Since 1992, she has collaborated with former architect and video producer Steve Zehentner in all her theatre work, and since 1999 they have co-helmed, “The Lower East Side Biography Project”, an oral history video project.
