Blue Man Group, continuing its open run at Chicago’s Briar Street Theatre (3133 N. Halsted), will celebrate “National Cereal Day” Saturday, March 7 by kicking off a month-long cereal-focused food drive. In partnership with Mariano’s, the theatrical phenomenon will collect boxes of cereal at the Briar Street Theatre from March 7 – April 19, 2020. All cereal will be donated to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, which provides food to those facing hunger in Chicago and Cook County.
“We are proud to lead this initiative in the fight against hunger and collect food donations for our community,” said Blue Man Group Chicago Resident General Manager Jeremy Smith. “With the help of Mariano’s, the Greater Chicago Food Depository and our patrons, we hope to make a difference in the lives of Chicago families in need.”
Patrons who donate boxed cereal to Blue Man Group’s cereal drive will receive $20 off their ticket to Blue Man Group Chicago and a Blue Man Group branded swag item. Tickets are subject to availability and the promotion is valid for up to 9 tickets with 9 boxes of cereal donated per person. More information is available at www.blueman.com/cereal.
