FRIENDS,

At long last, the wait is finally over. This past Saturday afternoon (June 26, 2021)—despite the very rare Chicago tornado warning just a few hours before showtime and a torrential downpour that could have kept folks away—the Paper Machete officially reopened its run at the Green Mill. A stellar cast and an outrageously enthusiastic audience brought us back to life in a most rousing and entertaining  afternoon.

Included on the bill were several artists who have been in the show since its inception in 2010. And now we're delighted to bring you our first post-COVID shutdown, post-Trump Machete audio magazine chock full of some of the finest in our rotation.

We've said it before and will continue to repeat it: It was YOUR support that pulled the Machete through this awful period. On behalf of both Machete artists and our amazing audiences everywhere, we're beyond grateful.

That said, let's get back down to business now, shall we?
