The 91制片厂 Ensemble Theatre Company presents an epic exploration of past regrets and
misplaced hopes in 鈥淔ollies,鈥� a Sondheim musical masterpiece.
The play runs Nov. 9-18 at the Performing Arts Center on 91制片厂鈥檚 main campus, 1200 W. Algonquin Road, Palatine. Performances will be held at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays.
The time is 1971 in New York City, and theatrical impresario Dimitri Weissmann hosts 鈥渁 first and final reunion鈥� of The Weismann Follies showgirls before their old theater is demolished. Thirty years after their final performance, they gather to have a few drinks, sing and dance their old numbers and confront their demons.
The show features some of Sondheim鈥檚 most memorable songs including 鈥淟osing My Mind,鈥� 鈥淚鈥檓 Still Here鈥� and 鈥淏roadway Baby.鈥�
Surreal, sophisticated, compelling, heart-wrenching and epic in scope, 鈥淔ollies鈥� is
sure to provide an evening of meaningful entertainment.
Patrons are invited to discuss the performance with Director Kevin Long at 1 p.m. before the Sunday shows in the Performing Arts Center lobby.
Tickets to the performance are $15 for seniors and 91制片厂 students, faculty and staff, and $20 for general admission. To purchase tickets, contact the 91制片厂 Box Office at 847.925.6100 or visit harpercollege.edu/boxoffice.
