The Doyle and Debbie Show, a comedy/musical show with all-original songs, is both homage and parody, simultaneously idolizing and lampooning country music's tradition of iconic duos and the battle of the sexes that accompany them. Doyle Mayfield, an old-guard country star with a handful of hits back in the '70s and '80s, is reviving his career 30 years, four wives and three Debbies later. The new Debbie, a single mother with three children, sees this lovable Lothario as her last chance to make it big in Nashville -- but she also questions hitching her star to this loose cannon.

The Pianist of Willesden Lane: Chicago Premiere of LA and Boston Hit

Full Price:
$50.00
Our Price:
$25.50 - $30.00

Set in Vienna in 1938 and London during the blitzkrieg, The Pianist of Willesden Lane tells the true story of noted pianist and author Mona Golabek's mother, Lisa Jura. As a young Jewish pianist, Lisa dreams of a concert debut at the storied Musikverein concert hall. When Lisa is swept up in the Kindertransport to London in an attempt to protect her from the Nazi regime, everything about her life is upended -- except her love of music. Golabek performs some of the world's most beloved piano music in this poignant tribute to her mother's experience in wartime Europe. Adapted and directed by local favorite Hershey Felder, The Pianist of Willesden Lane is a riveting tale of hope that is a powerful testament to how music can help us survive through the darkest of times.
