Jeff Award-winner Dominic Missimi directs Northwestern's SummerStage 2012 salute to famed Broadway composer Richard Rodgers -- a three-part musical revue ranging from his early romantic tunes to his hit musicals to the jive and jitterbug of the WWII era and beyond. Rodgers and his lyricist partner Lorenz Hart got going by the age of 18, scoring with such Broadway gems as Poor Little Ritz Girl and A Connecticut Yankee before they hit their stride with 1937's Babes in Arms and Pal Joey, among others. After Hart's death, Rodgers teamed with Oscar Hammerstein II to create such classics as Oklahoma! (1943), South Pacific (1949), The King and I (1951) and of course, The Sound of Music (1959). One of the truly elite members of the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony)-winners club, Rodgers also received two Pulitzer Prizes and is honored with a U.S. postage stamp -- evidence of a truly groundbreaking career which included 900 published songs and more than 40 Broadway musicals. Don't miss this high-energy salute to the composer of some of the most memorable music of the 20th century.

How to End Poverty in 90 Minutes: An Interactive Dialogue

Full Price:: $25.00
Our Price:: $12.50

This unique participatory performance experience is actually titled How to End Poverty in 90 Minutes (with 199 people you may or may not know), and it gives you and your fellow audience members the opportunity to agree how to spend $1,000 in an effort to attack the issue. For 90 minutes, you'll listen, discuss and decide what the cash -- derived from ticket sales and sitting right there on stage -- should be used for. Conceived and directed by Michael Rohd, a Northwestern assistant professor whose research focuses on civic engagement, this "often delightful and occasionally uncomfortable" play-workshop-conversation is an intriguing experiment in social decision-making and responsibility.

If you like the music of Richard Rogers then you would love this! The young people were all students at Northwestern University. It was professionally staged and the talent was glorious. There was a four piece band. I quietly sang along with all the wonderful songs. I would recommend it to anyone that loves the old songs.

Northwestern's theater department once again gave a clear proof of why it's been respected for a century as the producer of terrific dramatic and musical education.

A great show of classic Richard Rodgers songs.
