Program Details*

It's one of the many things for which we are (justly) famous: costumes. This year, the audience will vote for Best Pun, Worst Pun, Best Traditional, Best Group, and whatever other categories strike the fancy e the fancy of our judges, who are, as always, very open to bribes. Be prepared to laugh, groan, and, sometimes, to be confused. Discover one of the reasons that our Chicago Area Mensa RG is so great.

Dress up as your favorite character. Put together a costume based on this year's theme. Create a pun-tastic ensemble. Wear a traditional costume. Show your sexy side. Be part of a group.

Warning: Children and family costumes will start an hour earlier. Occasionally the adult costumes are not appropriate for younger or more sensitive viewers.

If you will be entering the costume contest, be sure to get a numbered ticket and write the name of your costume for our photo gallery. Please speak loudly and clearly into the microphone. The judges and the audience would like very much to hear the description of your costume.

Must be 18 years of age or older.
