FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

"The nicest thing about being happy is that you never think you'll be unhappy again."

Escapism: the habitual diversion of the mind to purely imaginative activity or enter-tainment as an escape from reality or routine. A habit we often depend on in hopes of attaining temporary freedom from the sometimes cruel reality of the world in which we live. For Molina, reality is particularly brutal and harsh - not only because of the cell walls that surround him, but because of his "otherness" as a "Window Dresser." To escape, he closes his eyes and becomes a movie star alongside his favorite diva: Aurora. This escapism is shattered with the arrival of his new cellmate, Valentin, who strives to change his reality through revolution rather than escape it through fantasy. With each new season, BoHo hopes to explore the bohemian pillars of Truth, Beauty, Freedom, and Love. Though KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN is certainly a showcase for fantastic song and dance, BoHo examines this

story through the lens of rela-tionships and the pillar of love. While Molina's fantasy world certainly lends itself to theatri-cality, it is the story of these two men that creates the heart of the show. What starts as opposites and ends as something… more… makes SPIDER WOMAN a powerful story about the beauty and destructive nature of love. If you enjoy what you see

today, please consider making a donation to our company, or becoming a part of our family as a Board or Company Member. Our house manager will be happy to tell you about BoHo. Your support is what allows BoHo and its audiences to continue exploring and sharing these stories.

Enjoy the performance!

directly to sponsoring a position or element within a BoHo produc-tion. You receive thanks directly alongside the position or element you sponsor in BoHo programs and promotional materials! For more information on how you can help bring an element of the art to the stage, visit us online at www.BoHoTheatre.com/donate or connect with your BoHo house manager after the performance!

You Are Here

At Theater WitWe are a theater company within a building, within a community, within a

world.

As a production company, Theater Wit’s mission is to be the premier “smart

art” theater in Chicago by producing humorous, challenging, and intelligent

plays that speak with a contemporary theatrical voice.

As an institution, Theater Wit seeks to be the hub of the Chicago neighborhood

theater scene. In our three spaces, we bring together Chicago’s best storefront

theater companies. Here you will find a smorgasbord of excellent productions,

see the work of a parade of talented artists, and mingle with audiences from all

over Chicago.

In the Middle of a CommunityEveryone here: folks in the audience… the person who handed you this

program… somewhere on or off the stage there are actors… if you look up in the

corner you might get a glimpse of the stage manager in the booth… We’re all in

this room for the same reason: to be a part of this shared experience. No matter

who they are or where they come from; no matter if they are complete strangers

or familiar faces; no matter how different the age, the race, or the walk of life;

after this performance, you will have something in common. So, strike up a

conversation in the lobby, introduce yourself to someone new. Meet our staff,

shake hands with an actor, get a drink from our bar. We’re all in this together.

Part of the Chicago SceneTheater is part of the Chicago experience. Each year, over 200 theaters present

thousands of shows to Chicago’s loyal and enthusiastic theater-going audience.

Chicago’s theater community is recognized around the world for its talent, its

innovation and its power to entertain and enlighten. If Tony awards were sports

championships, our artists would beat out the combined efforts of Michael

Jordan, Bobby Hull, Jim McMahon, Jermaine Dye, and the entire Chicago

Cubs roster going back 100 years. This stage is a Chicago stage, contributing

to the vibrant artistic life of our city and the economic development of our

neighborhood. Very few cities on the planet offer the theatrical richness and

diversity of Chicago. But you get to share in it. Because you are here.

MeeT our reSIDeNT CoMpANIeS

STAGe lefT THeATreStage left Theatre’s mission is to develop and produce plays that inspire debate about political and social topics. We focus on presenting complicated issues in the context of an engaging story, without prescribing a single point of view. We attempt to spark respectful debate about the issues most relevant to our community, and activate audiences to continue those conversations beyond the walls of the theatre. Stage left also works to inspire playwrights to address political and social themes through our Downstage left new work development program.

NeW MIlleNNIuM THeATre CoMpANYNew Millennium produces a varied season which focuses on new and non-traditional approaches to theater. They create plays geared to audiences who have been reluctant to attend traditional theatre offerings, producing shows that are fun and relevant to today’s complex audiences.
