Rogers Park Theater

The Factory Presents:

Two Out of Three Falls



Closes: Sat, July 18

Where: The Factory Theatre, 1623 W. Howard St.


In 1988, wrestling legend King Kong Bruiser was murdered. His killer walked away clean. In 2019, Johanna Goodish, daughter of the Bruiser, can’t seem to step out of his shadow. So she’s going to do the one thing that might shake off the ghost: she’s going to kill the man who killed her dad. And she’s going to do it in the middle of the ring, live on pay-per-view.


Dinner & a show deal:

Grab tickets to any performance of Two Out of Three Falls and you'll get 15% off your ticket purchase with code RPH15. Then dine before the show at R Public House and show your theater ticket to your server to get 15% off your entire bill. Not hungry ahead of time? Join the after-show party at R Public House and get the same deal! Both deals run through July 18.
