Psych Out Café featuring Fred Zimmerman

December 4, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Fred Zimmerman is a respected Chicago actor who has spent over 35 years acting in National Broadway Touring Companies (Hal Prince’s productions of Show Boat & Bounce, and Frank Galati’s Ragtime), at Regional Theaters, Stock Companies, and in theaters across Chicagoland, including Goodman, Court, Northlight, Porchlight, Water Tower, Lyric Opera, the Nederlander, the Auditorium, and 18 productions at Chicago’s Marriott Theatre.

But when he isn’t onstage getting inside the heads of his characters, he uses his acting skills to get inside the heads … of his audience.

Fred’s one-man show, The Psych-Out Café, is a total blast, filled with mind games, magic, and some little white lies. Audiences don’t just watch the show … they are the show.

Have you ever watched shows like “The Mentalist” on CBS and thought, “Can anyone really do that?”

Fred can … and it’s lots of fun. Come on down to The Understudy and see for yourself.

In a Seattle sports card shop, a schism is brewing between those who collect for sentimental reasons and those who look only for high-dollar cards to resell. When a potential goldmine card is found by a trans teenager, the resulting scramble to sell it forces the store’s co-owners, and their regular customers, to re-evaluate how they define themselves as collectors – and, furthermore, as male.   Playwright: Zach Barr Director: Kidany Camilo Dramaturg: Cori Lang Rhonda: Lisa Antonia Cruz Corbin:…
