HOW TO SUCCEED, LEADER OF THE PACK et al. Set for Big Noise Theatre's 10th Anniversary Season

By:

Big Noise Theatre is proud to announce our schedule for the upcoming 2011 - 2012 season, celebrating our tenth anniversary performing at Prairie Lakes Theatre in Des Plaines! We are thrilled to continue our history of offering quality theatrical experiences to the northwest suburban community.

How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying, our fall musical production, is a satire of big business and office politics, and is currently a hit revival on Broadway. How To Succeed... opens on Friday, September 23 and runs through Sunday, October 16. Performances are on Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. There will be no performance on Friday, October 7.

Butterflies are Free, our winter play, is the story of a blind young man's maturation as he escapes his over-protective mother and moves into his own apartment. A free spirited neighbor shows him a world beyond his experience and he in turn teaches her what growing up and being free is all about. This show opens on Friday, January 13, 2012 and runs through February 5, 2012. Performances are on Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.

Leader of the Pack, our spring musical, is the biographical story of famed 60's songwriter, Ellie Greenwich. This show is a flashback of her life through her many famous hit songs including "Leader of the Pack", "Chapel of Love", "Be My Baby", "Da Do Ron Ron", "Hanky Panky", and more! The show opens on Friday, April 27 and runs through Sunday, May 13. Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m.
