Peter Marston Sullivan News

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.

At a time in theatre where shows are all-too-often injected with extreme concepts or 'themes' outside of the originally written text (sometimes successful, sometimes not), it's a remarkable breath of fresh air to see a production where the script is trusted to stand on its own without a director's own imaginations forced upon it. In BoHo Theatre's 'Dogfight,' directed with care by Peter Marston Sullivan, it's this faith in the show itself that makes the production shine.

BoHo Theatre closes out its groundbreaking 11th season with the musical Dogfight by Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, and Peter Duchan, directed by BoHo Artistic Director Peter Marston Sullivan. Based on the 1991 Warner Brothers film, Dogfight explores the power of compassion in the face of cruelty and malice. The play features a rousing score and an emotional heart that shows musical theatre at its finest.
