ANNOUNCING OUR 2011-2012 SEASON

We have three exciting titles to bring you next year, from a Chicago premiere, to another celebration of the work of Stephen Sondheim. We’re also performing in mulitple venues next year, to help you experience some of the newest stages Chicago has to offer. So, here’s what we have in store for you for next season...

Putting It Together Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Directed by Brenda Didier September 2 thru October 16, 2011 At Theater Wit, 1229 W Belmont Ave.

Putting it Together is the emotional story of the entangled relationships of five guests attending a Manhattan cocktail party as they are confronted with the troubles of marriage, infidelity and divorce. The production includes songs from Sondheim’s original musicals including A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Merrily We Roll Along, Anyone Can Whistle, Sunday in the Park with George, Company, Follies, A Little Night Music, The Frogs and Sweeney Todd.

A Catered Affair Chicago Premiere! Music and Lyrics by John Bucchino Book by Harvey Fierstein Directed by Nick Bowling Musical Direction by Doug Peck February 17 thru April 1, 2012 At Stage 773, 1225 W Belmont Ave. A Catered Affair is a bittersweet reflection on the complexities of relationships between husbands and wives and parents and children. A couple must decide whether to spend their life savings on a family business or to celebrate their only daughter’s marriage with a lavish catered affair, providing her with the joyful wedding they never had for themselves. A beautiful exploration of the resilience of love, A Catered Affair features a melodious, 50s-inspired score. The production received three Tony Award nominations, eleven Drama Desk Award Nominations as well as the Drama League Award for Distinguished Production of a Musical. Porchlight veteran and Jeff Award winning actress Rebecca Finnegan makes her return to the Porchlight stage in this Chicago premiere!

tick, tick....BOOM! Music, Lyrics and Book by Jonathan Larson Script Consultation by David Auburn April 27 thru June 10, 2012 At Stage 773, 1225 W Belmont Ave tick, tick... BOOM! is Larson’s semi-autobiographical story of Jon, an aspiring composer anxiously approaching his 30th birthday. Jon’s girlfriend wants to get married and leave New York for a more conventional life, his best friend is earning a fortune on Madison Avenue, and Jon is still waiting on tables while trying to create the great American musical. An inspiring story of a struggling artist who chooses to follow his dreams, tick, tick... BOOM! features a dynamic pop-rock score blended with traditional musical theater styles, in what many believe to be Larson’s homage to Stephen Sondheim.

PORCHLIGHT MUSIC THEATRE – A BR IEF H ISTORY

Listed below is a brief timeline of the 16 year history of Porchlight Music Theatre.

1994 Founder Jill Moore fulfills a lifelong dream to establish a theater company which recalls those days of play when the porchlight shined on the imagination of creative children.


September 1995William Eric Bramlett directs Porchlight Theatre Ensemble’s first production—the world premiere of Women Who Love Science Too Much.

October 1995Porchlight stages the Chicago premiere of Hartmann and Keys’ Macabaret. A favorite with Porchlight audiences, the show with regular revisions delights audi-ences in 1996, 1997, and 2006 and an updated version in October 2009.

1996Recognizing enthusiastic response to its musical productions and the Chicago theater community’s needs, Porchlight becomes Chicago’s only theater company committed exclusively to music theater.

June 1998Beloved music talent Eugene Dizon music directs the world premiere of The Van-ishing Point, the first of 34 Porchlight shows he’ll direct.

November 1998Artistic Director L. Walter Stearns makes his Porchlight debut as he directs Ruth-less! in a co-production with his Effective Theater Company.

April 1999The City of Chicago premiere of Falsettos marks Porchlight’s special affinity for the musicals of William Finn.

2000To reflect better its mission and vision, Porchlight Theatre Ensemble officially becomes Porchlight Music Theatre Chicago.

March 2000Walter Stearns and Eugene Dizon collaborate on the first of twelve Stephen Sond-heim productions—Merrily We Roll Along.

2004–2005Porchlight Music Theatre celebrates its tenth anniversary and its first season as an Equity theater which results in ten Jeff Award nominations and five awards.

Spring 2005Porchlight produces the first-in-the-nation William Finn Festival which receives national attention. The dynamic duo of Porchlight artistic associates Rob Lindley and Doug Peck direct their first celebrated annual cabaret review—afFINNity: Chicago Sings William Finn.

January 2007Porchlight stages The Teapot Scandals, the world premiere of artistic associate Jon Steinhagen’s show incubated and developed through Porchlight’s Off the Porch program for new works. The Teapot Scandals merits a Jeopardy question.

April 2007Ragtime is produced on the Porchlight stage, setting box office records and garnering a summer transfer to the Apollo Theater. It later becomes the most awarded musical at the 2007 Jeff Awards, including Best Musical.

ABOUT STAGE 773

Mission

Stage 773 acts to embody the vibrant spirit of Chicago off-loop theatre:

• We celebrate the creative process, supporting the work of actors, directors, writers, composers and designers.• We nurture the artist, offering technical, organizational and emotional support.• We honor our audience, presenting accessible, affordable, exceptional entertainment.

Vision

Stage 773 operates a multi-theatre performing arts venue that serves our community through the arts – both Chicago artists and the public who visit us.

We strive to offer support to artists as they develop their voices and talents. We provide rehearsal and performance space, our knowledge and experience, and a nurturing environment to help actors, directors, designers, writers and other artists reach their potential.

We will remember every day that art is transformative – whether we make someone laugh hysterically or consider the world in a new way, whether our work brings people to tears of empathy or joy – and that the artists and audiences who entrust themselves to us, for an evening or for years, create that shared experience.
