FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

“He who laughs has not yet heard the bad news.” –Bertold Brecht

Imagine a world where people must pay to carry out one of the most basic human functions. A world where times are so bad that big business ideology is the law, and the top 1% is the only percent that could possibly prevail. A world where fear is the guiding force of politics and socio-eco-nomic status. A completely, utterly, wholly fictional world like this is difficult to imagine, I know (no, really!) … but such is the world of Urinetown.

Not only does the show challenge us to imagine this theatrical world, but it also asks us to re-examine the form of musical theatre. It is a show that breaks all the typical conventions… Not only breaks, but laughs at! A show that makes you chuckle while you cringe. Daniel Marcus, who played Officer Barrel when it opened in New York, called it “a love letter to the American musical in the form of a grenade.”

Why produce this hilarious, satirical, completely fictional, catchy and clever account of a mythical place called Urinetown, you ask?

I don’t know. I enjoyed the music.

May 18 – July 2, 2017 at the Heartland Studio

Thirty-five years ago, Ned Janeway and his business partner Theo designed an architectural marvel, the “Janeway House,” and then had a falling out. In present day, Ned’s son Walker, his daughter Nan, and Theo’s son Pip meet at the pair’s old loft where the house was conceived. Walker has found his father’s old journal, which he thinks contains evidence that Theo stole his father’s ideas. But the truth of the past is much different than the three of them realize. Shifting from present to past, Three Days of Rain examines the depth of family secrets and how children eventually come to embody their parents.

Oct 21 – Dec 10, 2017 at Theater Wit

In the twilight years of the 19th century, Marie Christine is a racially mixed woman imprisoned without a trial to face death. From her cell, she recounts her journey from a genteel life of privilege in New Orleans Creole society through love, betrayal, and incomprehensible vengeance, to her final tragic fate. Inspired by the Medea myth, this tale of dark magic and raw emotion is loosely based on the life of real-life voodoo practioner Marie Laveau.

This program is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, and the Gaylord & Dorothy

Donnelley Foundation.

BoHo Theatre is an all-volunteer organization devoted to providing the most supportive creative environment for our artists. We’re proud to be a launching pad for up-and-coming Chicago actors and artists.

To continue growing and bringing you immersive theatrical experiences, we are actively looking for a new space to call our own. We are looking for a location to put down long-term roots and build a welcoming hub for our community.

Please join us in building this new home! Your donations and sponsorships are vital to our growth, creativity, and continued existence. Thank you for being part of our family!
