History Meets Hilarity in Crown Point
by A.A. Cristi - May 15, 2017
In the last couple of years, a renewed interest in original theatre occurred. A historically-based show debuted in New York off-Broadway and was an immediate hit. 6 months later the show graduated to a run on Broadway and was nominated for 16 Tony Awards, winning 11 - including Best Musical - along with winning awards in music and literature. That musical then made a Chicago residency debut last year along with launching a national tour. That show was called Hamilton. Now that energy and passion for this kind of theatre is being brought to Crown Point Community Theatre with their new one-off show titled Hysterical Figures - an event where a large group of artists write, rehearse and perform a series of original historically-based plays in one day - on Saturday June 3rd @ 7:30 PM .
