Events for March 2010
Chicago at The Little Theatre of Alexandria
02/27/2010 to 03/20/2010
It’s the 1920s in Chicago – a town crazy over jazz and cold-blooded murder. Follow the story of two women – Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly – who are engaged in a continual game of one-upsmanship as they try to plan their futures – from behind bars! They plot and scheme, they sing and dance, they use their considerable charms to sway public opinion in their favor. Based on the 1926 play by a reporter about actual criminals and crimes.
