Off Broadway In Chicago

"Souvenir" at Northlight

By stephawalker, November 18, 2009 at 11:19 am

Souvenir by Stephen Temperley

directed by Steve Scott

November 12 - December 20, 2009

Northlight Theatre, 9501 Skokie Blvd in Skokie

Souvenir
tells the comedic and musical true story of Florence Foster Jenkins: a
New York
socialite whose tin ear couldn't keep her off the stage at Carnegie Hall. 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.
