The Blue Martini features a group of Chicago twenty-somethings struggling to figure out the meaning of love, sex, and life. The story hinges on the alcohol-assisted entanglements between a sexy and cynical bar/club critic, a repressed cute girl, a computer-game freak, and a churchgoing, bartending handsome dude. There's also the requisite gay roommate, who happens to sell “pleasure items” to women at Tupperware-style parties.

Indeed, the producers offer the following as warning and as enticement: the production contains adult language, adult situations, and adult "props."

The Blue Martini is being served up by two alumni from the Chicago improv scene. Both did time at the prestigious Improv Olympic. The playwright, Mike Ferrell, is also playing the role of Jack the bartender. He was last seen in The Great American Cheese Sandwich in New York, and Something Blue and Shtick People in Chicago. Directing is Ben Cikanek, an award-winning filmmaker (The Protege) and member of New York's Steading Film Collective.

The play is coming from Chicago by way of Greensboro, North Carolina, where it enjoyed a successful summer run.
