Studio BE and 4 Days Late Productions Present IT'S A WONDERFUL PRO-LIFE, Now thru 12/28
Make IT'S A WONDERFUL PRO-LIFE part of your holiday celebrations as Studio BE and 4 Days Late Productions team up again to present another original comedic production. The holiday show will run tonight, November 13 thru December 28 every Friday night at Studio BE (3110 N Sheffield) at 8 PM. Tickets start at $15 and can now be purchased at www.studio-be.org.
After a sold out, 9 month engagement of Jersey Shore: The Musical, NPR has approached 4 Days Late to write an original holiday radio show. The company comes together with the intent of recording a show satirizing holiday commercialism, only to have it hijacked by one of the members for his own personal use. IT'S A WONDERFUL PRO-LIFE is a behind the scenes (think Noises Off) adventure of how the group ultimately rallies, in true Christmas spirit, to create perhaps the best holiday show of all time.
"IT'S A WONDERFUL PRO-LIFE explores much deeper themes connected to what the holidays are traditionally supposed to concern: the values of basic goodness and sacrifice, the gift of friendship, the pitfalls of greed and commercialism, the sense of community and belonging that helps us feel truly connected in a society," says Shapiro, Director and Studio BE's Executive/Artistic Director. "IT'S A WONDERFUL PRO-LIFE, in addition to being incredibly funny, will also leave audiences pondering the same themes… though we will take them on a very different journey to get there!"
The production features 4 Days Late Productions company members, Anna Schlegel, Erin Johnson, Steve Truncale, Alex Myerchin, Nate Stoner, Dan Gold, Tony Jaksha, Emily Friedrick and Jason Lord. Directed by AaRon Shapiro.
