Press Release
BoHo Theatre 2437 W Farragut Ave #3B, Chicago, IL 60625 773-791-2393 www.BoHoTheatre.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Peter Blair, Executive Director March 4, 2011 Ph. 860-833-1107 (not for publication) [email protected] BOHO THEATRE FINDS BEAUTY WITH DIRTY BLONDE CHICAGO—BoHo Theatre presents Claudia Shear’s Dirty Blonde, a multilayered exploration of American entertainment icon Mae West as seen through the eyes of a pair of disaffected present-day fans, running April 1 through May 1, 2011 at Theater Wit, 1229 W Belmont Avenue. Dirty Blonde is directed by BoHo Artistic Advisor Stephen Genovese. “I made myself platinum, but I was born a dirty blonde.” –Mae West Claudia Shear’s hilarious and touching play weaves together the rise and fall of Mae West, the legendary star of stage and screen, with the awkward romance of Jo and Charlie, two Mae West fanatics in present- day New York. The brash and outspoken Jo is an aspiring actress stuck in a cycle of temp jobs while Charlie, a meek and introspective soul, works in the film archives of the New York public library. Though seemingly polar opposites, both are striving for something they see in Mae—a confidence and finesse that made her into the extravagant, sexy, taboo-breaking public persona that was the hallmark of her fame. But Mae sacrificed much to maintain her public image. What are Charlie and Jo willing to sacrifice to become like her? Directed by Jeff Award-winning director Stephen Genovese (Sideshow, The Glorious Ones, I Am My Own Wife (co-director)), the production features three versatile and talented performers who sing, dance, and play dozens of characters. -

Alfred Uhl Overture, ziemlich lebhaft, frisch Lustiger Marsch, ruhig bewegt Dudelsack Trepak.sehrrasch INTERMISSION Serenade No. 11 in E-flat major, K. 375 Mozart Allegro maestoso Adagio Allegro The Chicago Symphony Winds are represented by Mariedi Anders Artists Management Inc., San Francisco. U-M freshman Brandon Blazo performed the pre-concert carillon recital. FORTIETH CONCERT OF THE 114TH SEASON THIRTIETH ANNUAL CHAMBER ARTS SERIES PROGRAM NOTES Serenade No. 12 in E-flat major, K. 375 Mozart Mozart wrote this Serenade in Vienna, in October 1781, for six instruments - pairs of clarinets, horns, and bassoons. A few months later he added parts for a pair of oboes and tightened up the form considerably. On November 3, 1781, he wrote to his father that the piece had so pleased the players (of the first version) that to celebrate his name day, "at eleven o'clock at night I was treated to a serenade of my own composition. The six men who played it are poor beggars, but they play very well together. They came to the center of my courtyard, and just as I was about to undress they surprised me most pleasantly with the E-flat chord. [Abridged]" These "social" works are not unlike his symphonies, except that they are usually looser in form and lighter in tone, and they may have extra slow movements or minuets or both.
