Today, Chicago Theatre Off Book is reviewing exciting offerings from local theatre companies: “The Iceman Cometh” at Goodman Theatre, “Pride and Prejudice” at Lifeline Theatre, “Tigers Sit Still” at Theatre Wit, and “Timon of Athens” at Chicago Shakespeare Theater.
Then, we chat with Scott Oken, Artistic Director at The Factor and director of “White Trash Wedding and a Funeral”, Mike Beyer, ensemble member at The Factory and writer of “White Trash Wedding and a Funeral”, and Debra Ehrhardt of “Jamaica, Farewell,” a one woman show at Chopin Theatre. And of course, we have 2 new Got A Minute? segments from local playwrights.
This May 11, 2012 episode of Chicago Theatre Off Book was partially underwritten by Anonymous Guy.

For whatever reason, The Animals seem to have been shunted aside when talking about the British Invasion, relegated to a couple of songs on the oldies stations. But The Animals were much more than that. Perhaps they didn’t have one legendary album, but they had many great singles and were one of the bluesiest bands of the era. And keying the band was the old soul of Eric Burdon. To be in his early-20s and still unleash the anguished vocal on the band’s classic take of “House of the Rising Sun” is pretty darned amazing, and that’s just one of his great vocal performances. Burdon progressed as time went on, exploring psychedelia with a later edition of the band, and then teaming up with War, jump starting their career, and waxing the classic “Spill The Wine”. Let’s pay birthday tribute to Burdon by grabbing your iPod or MP3 player, hitting shuffle, and sharing the first 10 songs that come up.

CHIRP DJ Dylan Peterson went one-on-one with Pat Grossi, aka Active Child, backstage at Lincoln Hall during the Tomorrow Never Knows festival. They talked about getting career advice from Dad, the thrill of touring with M83, and the importance of wrapping one’s harp in dirty laundry when touring.
