Ed Asner in FDR

Ed Asner in FDRSat, October 9, 2010 • 8 pm

Bringing to life one of America’s most beloved and infl uential presidents, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, FDR explores the events and decisions that shaped a nation. FDR is based on the play Sunrise at Campobello by Dore Schary, which was originally produced on Broadway and ran 556 performances — one of the longest running plays of all time.

Ed Asner’s prolifi c and much honored acting career demonstrates a consummate ability to transcend the line between comedy and drama. Perhaps best known for his portrayal of the gruff but soft-hearted journalist Lou Grant on the landmark comedy The Mary Tyler Moore Show, the role earned him fi ve Emmys and three Golden Globe Awards.

One of the most honored actors in the history of television, Edward Asner is the recipient of seven Emmy Awards and 16 nominations, as well as fi ve Golden Globe Awards. He served as National President of the Screen Actors Guild for two terms and was inducted into the TV Academy Hall of Fame in 1996. In March 2002, Asner was honored by The Screen Actors Guild as the 38th recipient of the prestigious Life Achievement Award for career achievement and humanitarian accomplishment, presented annually to an actor who fosters the highest ideals of the profession.


The Acting Company’s Romeo and JulietWed, October 27, 2010 • 8 pm

Shakespeare’s iconic romantic tragedy of innocent young lovers falling victim to family hatred and cruel destiny is the greatest love story of all time.

The Acting Company was founded by Oscar-winning actor John Houseman and current Producing Artistic Director Margot Harley in 1972 with Kevin Kline, Patti LuPone, David Ogden Stiers and other members of the fi rst graduating class of Juilliard’s Drama Division.

The Company has presented in New York and on tour throughout the world 131 classical works and commissions. The rich variety of The Acting Company’s plays, the high quality of their presentation and the wide reach of their touring and educational activities continue to make The Acting Company’s performances and workshops meaningful to thousands of Americans every year.

Luna Negra

Luna Negra Dance TheaterSat, November 6, 2010 • 8 pm

In just ten years, Luna Negra Dance Theater has established itself as a signifi cant and vital component of Chicago’s arts and cultural community. Since Eduardo Vilaro founded Luna Negra in 1999, the company has served as a springboard for Latino contemporary choreographers to give expression to the stories and creativity of their community.

Luna Negra’s distinctive style blends the discipline of ballet with the dynamic movements of contemporary dance, infused with the explosive energy of Latin and Afro-Caribbean dance forms and rhythms.

The company prides itself in presenting the works of renowned Latino master choreographers and collaborating with visual artists, media artists, musicians and composers. These collaborations have fostered innovative cross-disciplinary explorations resulting in the creation of a richly textured and highly original contemporary dance theater.

Assad BrothersSat, November 13, 2010 • 8 pm

Brazilian-born brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad have set the benchmark for all other guitarists by creating a new standard of guitar innovation, ingenuity, and expression.

The Assad Brothers maintain an ongoing collaboration with world-renowned cellist, Yo-Yo Ma. In 2009, the Assads were featured on Yo-Yo Ma’s chart topping release, “Songs of Joy & Peace,” which won a Grammy for Best Classical Crossover. Ma and the Assads appeared together on Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion” in December 2009 and are working on a plan for a future tour of the U.S.

The Assads’ personal repertoire includes original music composed by Sérgio Assad and his re-workings of folk, Latin and jazz music. Their standard classical repertoire includes transcriptions of the great Baroque keyboard literature of Bach, Rameau and Scarlatti and adaptations of works by such diverse fi gures as Gershwin, Ginastera and Debussy. Their touring programs are always a compelling blend of styles, periods, and cultures.

John Doe and The SadiesSat, November 20, 2010 • 8 pm

In this genre-bending collaborative performance by John Doe and The Sadies, the evening will include classic tunes by Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings and late-night ballads by Tammy Wynette and Roger Miller.

By innovatively melding contemporary sounds with traditional country music, timeless themes emerge. John Doe and The Sadies have found the perfect blend of the reverent and the experimental, resulting in a fusion of traditional country songs with a modern sound which stretches the boundaries of conventional music classifi cations.
