Genovese Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. New York City. partially SupportED By GrantS from THE RICHARD Gaylord & dorothy H. DRIEHAUS donnelley FOUNDATION Foundation BEAUTY in BEliEf ou look up at the sky and you cry for a “Ystar! You know you’ll never get it! and then one night you look down—and there it is—shining in your hand!” Interwoven throughout the beautifully poetic language of N. Richard Nash’s The Rainmaker, questions relating to self and societal perceptions of beauty thrive. BoHo Theatre continues its tradition of exploring the four pillars of Bohemian Ideals of truth, beauty, freedom and love by tackling these complex perceptions of beauty in Nash’s piece. Lizzie, our heroine, lives in her own confines of self-perception, finding herself “plain” and unappealing. The routine of caring for the men in her life and the inability to garner affection from potential mates has trapped Lizzie in a state of desperation—a desperation mirrored by the drought surrounding the family. Her dreams, while seemingly small, are filled with a desire to be loved and to be found beautiful by someone… maybe anyone. When Lizzie comes face to face with the rainmaker, she comes to find he’s selling something much more profound than just rain. Hope guides our existence on a daily basis, from the mundane to the extraordinary; it pushes us towards the next moment. Though this sense of hope carries with it an immense threat of pain, it gives our lives meaning and purpose. BoHo Theatre is proud to present The Rainmaker in an intimate way that allows you, our audience, to experience this journey as never before. If you enjoy what you see today, please consider making a donation to our company. Our house manager will be happy to tell you about our “Make it Rain” campaign. As we strive to find new and exciting ways to share stories that explore the bohemian ideals that surround our everyday lives, we are propelled in large part by generous donations from you, our audience. Enjoy the performance, and thank you for being a part of our community!

The Shakespearian-themed comedy brought Nash much acclaim and led to his writing more shows, including The Young and Fair (1948), See the Jaguar (1952, for which he won the International Drama Award in Cannes and the Prague Award), and The Rainmaker (1954). The Rainmaker became so influential that it has been translated into 40 languages, became a popular film starring Burt Lancaster and Katharine Hepburn, and was adapted into the popular Broadway musical 110 in the Shade. In the 1950s, Nash moved from Manhattan to Los Angeles to write screenplays for Hollywood, though he continued to write plays and musicals for the Broadway stage, including Wildcat (1960, starring Lucille Ball), and The Happy Time (1968, nominated for the Tony Award for Best Musical). By the 1970s, Nash had begun writing novels, two of which found their way to the New York Times bestsellers list: East, Wind Rain and The Last Magic. Stephen m. Genovese | DirECtor, SCEniC DESiGnEr Steve has spent the better part of 30 years involved in theatre in one aspect or another. From stage direction to technical direction, costuming to props, acting to writing, being involved on so many levels has helped him officiate in the positions he currently holds as Artistic Advisor and founding Artistic Director at BoHo Theatre. Steve has performed at or worked with The Marriott Theatre, Pheasant Run Dinner Theatre, Court Theatre, and Stage Right Theatre, tto name a few.

Box 409267, Chicago, IL, 60640 Office: (773) 791-2393 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Kaela Altman, Executive Director August 19, 2013 [email protected] BOHO THEATRE DELIVERS CHILLING 10TH SEASON OPENER WITH VERONICA’S ROOM CHICAGO—BoHo Theatre kicks off its milestone 10th season with Ira Levin’s horror thriller Veronica’s Room at the Heartland Studio in Rogers Park. Running September 27th through October 27th, the play is a rarely-produced work from the acclaimed author of the novels Rosemary’s Baby, The Stepford Wives, and A Kiss Before Dying, as well as Deathtrap, which holds the record for Broadway’s longest running mystery play. Veronica’s Room represents the Bohemian Pillar of Freedom in BoHo’s 2013/2014 Season. THE PLAY “[Ira Levin] is the Swiss watchmaker of the suspense novel… he makes what the rest of us do look like those five-dollar watches you can buy in the discount drugstores.” -Stephen King, Danse Macabre This intimate thriller explores the thin line between fantasy and reality, and the lengths one is willing to go to find absolution. Students Susan and Larry find themselves enticed to an old New England mansion by its elderly caretakers in order to meet Cissie, the sole surviving member of the mansion’s family. They insist that Susan bears a striking resemblance to Cissie’s long-dead sister, Veronica. If Susan will agree to briefly impersonate Veronica, they believe it will comfort the dementia-afflicted Cissie and allow her to die in peace. But what begins as a simple errand of mercy quickly spirals into a nightmare cycle of guilt, sacrifice, and murder.

I am so proud to kick off BoHo’s 15th anni- versary season – and our first as the resident theatre at Lincoln Park’s Greenhouse Theater Center – with BRIGHT STAR. At BoHo, we tell stories – bold, intimate and insight- ful ones that examine and celebrate human relationships – and Bright Star, written and composed by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, masterfully captures our storytelling mission. It’s a gem of a musical, a mystery based on a true tale of a baby, tagged the “Iron Mountain Baby,” thrown from a train, rescued and cared for by strangers right after World War II in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains.

Samorian www.BoHoTheatre.com /BoHoTheatre @BoHoTheatre FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR I lived my formative years in a time when mental illness was shrouded in stigma. Common issues like anxiety and depression were a result of exterior stimuli that could be remedied (or at least concealed) with a strong dose of stoicism and avoidance. There was a societal framework that forcibly contained any outliers that showed signs outside the norm. There was fear, misunderstanding, and suppression. For my family, this suppression led to great rifts that still linger decades later. As the years passed, more mentions of therapy and medication began to creep into everyday conversations.

  • Stage Left and Boho Theatre Partner to Celebrate the 100 Th Anniversary of Shaw’S Pygmalion

Sheffield, Chicago, IL 60657 773-791-2393 | www.BoHoTheatre.com 773.883.8830 phone | www.stagelefttheatre.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Vance Smith, Stage Left Artistic Director November 19, 2012 [email protected] STAGE LEFT AND BOHO THEATRE PARTNER TO CELEBRATE THE 100 TH ANNIVERSARY OF SHAW’S PYGMALION CHICAGO—BoHo Theatre and Stage Left Theatre present a joint production of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion . The production runs January 5 th through February 10 th , 2013, at Theater Wit, and is directed by Stage Left Artistic Director Vance Smith. Pygmalion represents the Bohemian Pillar of Beauty in BoHo Theatre‘s 2012/2013 Season, and continues Stage Left Theatre’s season exploring societal perceptions and expectations of women. This production celebrates the 100 th anniversary of Pygmalion, which was first produced in 1913. THE PLAY Pygmalion is the classic tale of wily Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle and her transformation into a “proper lady” at the hands of the arrogant dialect expert Henry Higgins. On a bet, Higgins takes Eliza in off the street and trains her to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. What he isn’t quite ready to accept, however, is that Eliza is a real person, not just an experiment: one with plans and feelings of her own. Shaw’s biting social commentary on class, manners, and the place of women in society remains as hilarious and challenging as when it was first performed in 1913.
