HEIGHTS YOUTH THEATRE
presents
CHICAGO
directed by Nathan Motta
7:00 PM
May 11, 12, 17, 18 & 19
Tickets $10 General Admission - cash or check only
Kander and Ebb's CHICAGO was originally conceived as a "musical vaudeville" where the story of the murderesses of the Cook County jail were told through the vehicle of a vaudeville show. This Heights Youth Theatre production abandon's Bob Fosse's notion of sexualization and black lingerie, and doesn't use the 2002 Oscar winning film's dark realism approach, and instead stays true to the original "musical vaudeville" concept of Kander and Ebbs setting the action squarely in the roaring 1920s on the stage of an upscale Chicago speakeasy. A show within a show, a stage within a stage, this exciting production of Chicago will be appropriate for a PG audience (there are a couple of four-letter words). Kander and Ebb's most famous score gives us Broadway jazz standards such as All That Jazz, Razzle Dazzle, Mr. Cellophane, and the Cell Block Tango.
Location:
Wiley Auditorium

GOD OF CARNAGE at Dobama
8:00 PM - 9:30 PM
GOD OF CARNAGE is the story of two seemingly courteous and civilized couples who meet after their boys’ fistfight in a neighborhood schoolyard. Michael and Veronica, whose son’s teeth were knocked out with a stick, invite Alan and Annette, whose son did the knocking, to their home to settle the matter. Civility crumbles. Grownups behave badly as these parents argue about who influenced their sons’ misbehavior. Carnage erupts with finger-pointing, name-calling, stomping and carrying on. And then they break out the liquor.
