Created in 2017, Broken Leg Productions (BLP) takes its name from the age-old theatrical saying, “Break a leg!” BLP is the result of Artistic Director Adam Schuler’s desire to continue to produce high-quality theatrical productions in unique ways. We strive to use theatre and education to make a real difference in people of all ages in the North Shore area.
BLP is producing four shows this summer: “CHICAGO: High School Edition,” “James and The Giant Peach JR,” “Aladdin JR,” and “Spring Awakening.” See our website to learn more: brokenlegproductions.com.
Our first high school summer session is the Kander and Ebb classic ‘Chicago’. Featuring twenty-four High School/College aged students from seven towns across the North Shore.This show takes on the all too timely themes of celebrity, politics, crime and punishment and gives them a razzle-dazzle spin. In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap…until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess,” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune, and acquittal. This sharp-edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse. Please note: Chicago does contain adult themes, humor and strong language. The production is directed by Adam Schuler, with music directed by Megan Discisio, choreographed by Kathleen Tringale, stage managed by Anna Kahler and production managed by Alison Butts.
