Hot Times at Old Town

Appearing below are selections from the hard copy Hot Times. The objective is to highlight activities at the School and in the larger community, especially those featuring or of special interest to teachers and staff. Your suggestions are welcome.

Old Town Students In Musical Comedy

They rocked years ago — and rock again today!

That’s the subject of “The Dreamers,” a new, original one-act musical comedy about a band of aging rockers aspiring to the big time. The show features several current and past Old Town School students: Steve Bishop, Larry Hazard, Norm Kantor, Bill Lange, Marge Weber, Jim Regan, and Donna Steele, All are products of the School’s music programs — which goes to show how those hours of developing skills can pay off. (Being a band member is fun, but the thrill of the footlights is a special joy!)

“The Dreamers” will be presented at the Apollo Theater in October. It’s a production of Time of Your Life players, directed by Avrum Krause and underwritten by the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, the Illinois Arts Council, the Illinois Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Illinois General Assembly. The Time of Your Life Players is a respected theater group that has produced shows for the past several years. See www.timeofyourlifeplayers.com .

The Apollo Theater is at 2540 North Lincoln Avenue. Shows will be every Wednesday and Friday at 2 pm, October 7th through 30th. For Tickets: Call the Apollo Theater box office at 773-935-6100 or their website: www.apollochicago.com.
