Kentucky, 1925: A young Appalachian man with dreams of turning a cave into a tourist attraction becomes trapped during a cave-in. While he waits to be saved 150 feet below the surface, the rescue effort explodes into America's first full-blown media circus. Hysteria descends on the mouth of the cave as reporters from across the country manipulate the nation into a frenzy of anticipation, despair and hope, in this production from BoHo Theatre. Tony-winning composer Adam Guettel (Light in the Piazza) penned the intriguing bluegrass-meets-classical score for this compelling musical that's based on a true story.

Fight Girl Battle World: Action-Packed Sci-Fi Comedy

Full Price:
$25.00
Our Price:
$7.50 - $12.50

Fight Girl is E-V, a tough-as-nails prizefighter who also happens to be the last human woman in the galaxy. Battle World is her planet, a place where all the alien races come together for epic battles to the death and spectators bet on the outcome. E-V has much more to worry about than her next fight, though. She is being pursued by the United Galactic Alliance -- an evil empire on the verge of eradicating humanity. This science-fiction satire from Qui Nguyen, the creator of the 2011 InFusion Theatre Company hit Soul Samurai, gets its Midwestern premiere with this production, which is packed with innovative video projection, puppetry, stage combat and more. A Critic's Pick in Time Out Chicago, the show stars Sheila O'Connor as E-V. Learn More

For the most part we liked it. The music wasn't my favorite and it felt a little boring at times but overall we enjoyed the musical. The theater is super cute and the actors/actresses did a great job!

I left at intermission, and would have left earlier but that would've disrupted the show and been rude...but I wish I could have left after the first 10 minutes. Completely unimpressive..

About the Ticket Supplier: Bohemian Theatre Ensemble

Mission:
Creating theatre that incorporates the arts as a whole -- Art for art's sake.

Vision:
To challenge convention through literary originality and eclectic expression while fostering an ever-evolving artistic environment in which people are inspired to learn, think, dream, and feel. To teach others and ourselves how to expand, create, and present art through theatre while reveling not only in the process, but also in the journey.

Being "Bohemian":
Bohemia is not so much a place on a map but a timeless concept that knows no geographic boundaries. The Bohemian recognizes that cherishing all aspects of art is tantamount to progression of mankind as more than just a living being.

The Four Basic Principles of the Bohemian represent their core values:

Truth -- That which is at the core of all things good and soulful
Beauty -- The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. -Aristotle
Freedom -- Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others. -Camus
Love -- Life in abundance comes only through great love.
