LOVE SONG
by John Kolvenbach
Directed by Artistic Director, Marti Lyons
https://www.remybumppo.org/shows/lovesong/An off-kilter romantic comedy, Love Song is a quick-witted exploration of the countless complexities of love and the endless capacity of the heart. Beane has always been different. Joan, his sister, is his only real bridge to the outside world, but she is consumed with her own life, climbing the corporate ladder and sparring with her husband, Harry. When Beane falls madly in love with Molly, Beane's world suddenly expands and the seismic shift forces all of them to reexamine their own relationships and discover new facets of human connection.
A NOTE FROM THE HOST: Please do not RSVP until you have purchased your ticket(s). We will gather across the street at Kubo's for a discussion and beverage after the performance.

GODSPELL – 2012 Revised Version
Book by John-Michael Tebelak
Music and New Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Directed by Tor Campbell
https://beverlytheatreguild.org/Prepare ye for the timeless tale of friendship, loyalty and love based on the Gospel According to Saint Matthew. A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life. This 2012 Revised Version is a masterful retelling of the original sensation, injected with some contemporary references and dazzling new arrangements.
The Beverly Theatre Guild is Chicago’s longest running community theatre company, dating back to the 1920s. BTG plays are performed at the Baer Theater, a 425-seat venue with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, located at 2153 West 111th Street on the campus of the Morgan Park Academy.
