Chicago's pH Productions Presents THE BREAKFAST CLUB MUSICAL Through 4/29
Chicago-based pH Productions is currently hosting a run of the classic film, The Breakfast Club, in musical form. Founding member Jason Geis co-wrote and is directing the production that will run through April 26th.
In a recent interview with the Chicago Sun Times, Geis spoke about his reasons for turning the classic film to a stage show. "I wanted it to be a respectful homage to the movie. I'm 32, and The Breakfast Club really resonates with me. My high school [in Dayton, Ohio] was like that, segregated into cliques. I think it is a really well-done movie, a good teen movie."

The ensemble features Beverlee Bailey, Amy Couey, Nick De Fina, Jess Herron, Megan Kelleher, Patrick Serrano, Mark Soloff, and Cassie Speerschneider.
The show features music and book by Geis and Jessica A. Hunt along with choreography by Cassie Speerschneider. Performances of the show take place Thursdays at 8:00pm.
