"CHICAGO" At Chadwick

"CHICAGO", the hit musical is coming to Chadwick School.

The Conditional Use Permit for the school prohibits advertising theatre productions and other events on the campus, but I can provide folks just about everything they need to know to see TWO fantastic casts create an entertainment event that extends for six performances, beginning this coming WEDNESDAY.

The students at the school were so excited about the prospects of performing the famed musical that a huge number of students in grades 9-12 wanted to audition.

The incredible response necessitated not one, but TWO productions being scheduled, depending on what class students are in.

There is a production with a cast of Freshmen and Sophomores and there is a cast made up of Juniors and Seniors.

Readers may know that my brother-in-law Phil Buono and I have a scenic design and construction interest and that both of us are veterans in the entertainment industry or theater education arena.

We have been proud and honored to be asked to help Mr. Rodney Rincon on more than one production. Rodney runs the technical, staging, and theatre operations at Chadwick and is a motion picture, television, and stage actor, director, and all around great guy.

Here is the schedule for the FREE performances of "CHICAGO" inside the theatre at Chadwick:

Wednesday, March 2 at 7:30 PM, the Junior and Senior cast perform.

Thursday, March 3 at 7:30 PM, the Freshmen and Sophomore cast perform.

Friday, March 4 at 7:30 PM, the Juniors and Seniors return.

Saturday, March 5 has a Matinee beginning at 2:00 PM with the Freshmen and Sophomores performing.

Saturday, March 5, beginning at 8:00 PM, the Juniors and Seniors end their run of the show.

Sunday, March 6 features a 3:00 PM Finale with the Freshmen and Sophomore cast members entertaining the audience.

Yes, it is a free show. There are no tickets. Just make your way to Chadwick School, find a parking space, have a nice stroll down to the theatre, and enjoy a musical featuring an incredible number of extremely talented students.
