A (Habeas) Chorus Line strikes again
A (Habeas) Chorus Line is back with its 2010 show “Repeat Offenders” on Friday, Oct. 22, at 8 p.m. at Berkley High School, at the corner of Coolidge and Catalpa (11 1/2 Mile Road), west of Woodward and north of I-696.

It’s tough to keep up with all the craziness in the news, but A (Habeas) Chorus Line does its best. 

This year’s performance will take aim at things like the economic crisis (still), Tea Party rallies, the new mayor, Chrysler’s future, Toyota’s recalls, tweets, cheats, and eats, and much more (including maybe a few old favorites, just for fun, because some things never change). 

Ticket information will be available soon, so check out the website at www.habeaschorus.com , or call (313) 438-AHCL (438-2425), or e-mail info@habeaschorus.com.
