Brown Paper Box Co. to Present THE BROAD-WAY: A LADIES CABARET
"There are so many wonderful songs written by women in all genres of music that aren't always given the recognition they deserve, so we wanted to shine a light on the women behind the music we all love," says Managing Director Anna Schutz. "Selfishly, this was also an excuse to get a bunch of talented Chicago ladies together to sing and play music."
Current performers in The Broad-Way include Margaret Baughman (Artistic Associate with BPBCo.), Alexis Bevels (Dixie Wins a Talent Show While Alexis Bevels Stage Manages, Berlin Nightclub; Co-host of Night of 100 Drag Queens 2015, Sidetrack the Video Bar), Dixie Lynn Cartwright, (host of Dixie Wins a Talent Show While Alexis Bevels Stage Manages, Berlin Nightclub), Lindsey Charles (lead singer of The Cell Phones; various projects for Knife and Fork), Rachel Fridkin (local singer-songwriter, member of The Good Ships), Stephanie Rohr* (High Fidelity, Refuge Theatre Project, Godspell, BPBCo.), Sarah Sapperstein* (Reefer Madness, BPBCo., Cabaret, Devonshire Playhouse), Anna Schutz* ([title of show] and Now. Here. This., BPBCo.), Kristi Szczepanek (Now. Here. This., BPCo., Return Of Neverland, Quest Theatre Ensemble). Special guests include Elizabeth Morgan, Alex Newkirk, and Khaki Pixley of local folk-bluegrass group She's Folks!
