“Eclipsed” makes its Chicagoland debut this month at the Northlight Theatre in Skokie. Writer Danai Gurira wrote a play about the people in war that often get overlooked, the civilian women. The piece is about five captive ‘wives’ of a rebel officer fighting in the last six weeks of the Liberian Civil War. Gurira went to Liberia in 2007 to do research and out of that experience this play was born. The small cast provides an intimate experience for all theatergoers.

Direction handled the distribution of promotional materials, hitting the Northshore and Northside of Chicago. Direction printworks handled the printing of posters.

“Eclipsed” runs until February 20 at the Northlight Theatre. Please visit northlight.org for tickets and information.

Like many I’ve spoken with recently, I had no idea who Florence Foster Jenkins was until a recent discussion on the hilarious Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. Since then, I’ve heard her name brought up more then once in recent conversations. Florence Foster Jenkins’ recent thrust in the spotlight makes me all the more excited to see Northlight Theatre‘s latest production, Souvenir. This uproarious and musical story inspired by Florence Foster Jenkins the “Tone-Deaf Diva”: a New York socialite whose tin ear couldn’t keep her off the stage at Carnegie Hall.  As seen through the eyes of her beloved accompanist, Souvenir is a touching and comic tribute to Ms. Jenkins’ sincerity, ambition, deep love of music and complete lack of talent, all of which brought a unique joy to thousands.

Souvenir is currently running and plays through December 20th. Tickets are available here and if tickets are purchased for performances prior to the 20th of November you’ll save $5.
