The cast of the national tour of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels will be stripping for a good cause on its Aug. 6 night off during the show's Chicago engagement.

The event is using Jim Osorno's choreography from a prior strip-tease benefit by the troupe, but adapted by Chuck Saculla, one of the newer cast members.

One Night Only: A Dirty Rotten Strip, taking a cue from the popular Broadway Bares benefits created by DRS choreographer Jerry Mitchell, is scheduled for 10 PM Aug. 6 at Roscoes in Chicago.

The cast and crew of the national touring company will, according to organizers, "sing, dance, tease, strip and bare it all" — or as much as local laws allow. Most of the troupers are involved.

A $25 suggested donation will go to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and the Chicago House. Roscoes is located at 3356 Halsted in Chicago. For more information call (773) 281-3355 or visit www.Roscoes.com.
