The nation is in ruins. Sides are drawn. An Illinois politician and his wife are spending Christmas Eve as President and First Lady in the White House. It’s 1864.

“A Civil War Christmas: An American Musical Celebration” was penned by Pulitzer Prize-winner Paula Vogel. Directed by Henry Godinez, this holiday themed production weaves fiction and reality with traditional Christmas carols. Mrs. Lincoln scours Washington for the ideal Christmas tree while a mother searches for her daughter.

In addition to distritubing materials throughout the northern suburbs and northern part of Chicago, direction has also printed posters for this production.

“A Civil War Christmas: An American Musical Celebration” runs from November 11 to December 19 at Northlight Theatre in the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts. Please visit northlight.org for more information.

Being Star Wars fans, you can bet we were pretty excited when the NCFPA asked us to lend a hand promoting the upcoming One Man Star Wars Trilogy performance. Based on the original trilogy series, Charles Ross acts out all three films with no costumes or props and for 75 minutes, takes the audience on an intense and hysterically funny ride.

We’ll be distributed 10,000 flyers this past Sunday at the United Center for the Star Wars Live concert series.  Our staff was dressed as characters from the films, distributing the handbills to all of those in attendance.

One Man Star Wars Trilogy is at the Northshore Center for Performing Arts May 22nd at 5pm and 8pm.  For more information, visit www.northshorecenter.org.
