The House Theater Of Chicago Adds 4 Weeks To ROSE AND THE RIME Thru 5/9
Due to popular demand, The House Theatre of Chicago is adding four weeks of performances of ROSE AND THE RIME. The show will continue playing at the Chopin Theatre (1543 W. Division St.) through Saturday, May 9, 2009. Written by the creative team Chris Mathews, Jake Minton and Nathan Allen, this original Midwestern fairy tale has entertained packed houses since its opening on February 22, 2009 with witches, myth and magic. Tickets for the newly added performances are now available for purchase.
The tiny Michigan town of Radio Falls has been trapped in perpetual winter for a generation. Snow and ice coat every tree branch and telephone wire, and the constant blizzard surrounding the town means there's no way in or out. The last moment of heated passion brought the town its only remaining youth: a girl named Rose. It is up to her to save Radio Falls from the vicious curse of the Rime Witch. But when she succeeds, Radio Falls discovers the witch's magic coin has two sides... ROSE AND THE RIME is a modern version of The House's favorite myth - a reminder that anything powerful enough to fulfill your dreams is powerful enough to destroy them.
House Theatre company member Carolyn Defrin (The Sparrow, Dave DaVinci Saves the Universe) will star as Rose. In addition to Defrin, company members Maria McCullough, Mike Smith, and Joey Steakley are featured in ROSE AND THE RIME. The cast also includes Lucy Carapetyan, Chelsea Keenan, Stephanie Polt, Brandon Ruiter, Brett Schneider, Dana Tretta, and Zeke Sulkes.ROSE AND THE RIME is written by Chris Mathews, Jake Minton and Nathan Allen and directed by Nathan Allen. Original score is composed by Kevin O'Donnell and choreography is by Tommy Rapley. Scenic and props design by Collette Pollard, lighting design by Lee Keenan, costume design by Debbie Baer and sound design by Josh Horvath.
