BoHo Theatre opens its 12th season with the popular song cycle FUGITIVE SONGS by Chris Miller and Nathan Lysen, directed by Zachary L. Gray with music direction by Jeffrey Poindexter. Kicking off during Chicago Theatre Week, FUGITIVE SONGS uses powerful folk rock tunes to spotlight people on the run, and what drives us all to flee during troubling times.

To conclude its 31st season, the Saint Sebastian Players present the farce Figments, which celebrates writer's block and the power of the imagination, written by Billy St. John. Performances take place tonight, April 27, through May 20. Did David die? Will Louise be able to stop Winston from killing Veronica? If only playwright Rick Jacobs could get past his massive case of writer's block…not to mention the interruptions from his upstairs neighbor Loni, who he is secretly and desperately in love with, and his typical Jewish mother, who constantly criticizes and cleans. As this farce unfolds, we meet the "figments" of Rick's imagination-his fantasy versions of himself, Loni, his mother and more-as well as the characters from his stalled play. Eventually, the people and the "figments" help Rick resolve the issues in his life-on the page and in real life.
