of the Past, SEASON 10 Echoes Visions of the Future

NEXT TO NORMAL

Music by Tom Kitt Book & Lyrics by Brian Yorkey Side effects may include... dysfunction.

Dan is an architect; Diana rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their children are bright, wise-cracking teens.

They may seem like a typical American family, but their lives are anything but normal – Diana has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years. Containing a thrilling contemporary score by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse of a musical about a family trying to take care of themselves and each other.

Join Significant Productions as we celebrate our 10th season with this reimagining of our debut production.

Whitney Morse is reprising her critically acclaimed role as Diana, who Chicago critics hailed as “rueful but free of self-pity, funny without resorting to stereotype, and allaround engaging.” – Kelly Kleiman. Don’t miss the show, The New York Times called "Much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel-everything musical."

ADA & THE ENGINE

By Lauren Gunderson

Love letters in numbers.

Set in the Victorian era among the houses of intellectual elites, we find Ada, a young female mathematician whose invention of binary code shapes our modern world today.

Ada and the Engine, written by America's most produced living playwright, Lauren Gunderson, composes the story of Ada Byron Lovelace, poet Lord Byron's daughter. This lyrical play details the life of Ada as she struggles between the traditional demands of her mother and the pull of her mathematical ambition. Ada sees the creative potential in "The Engine" created by her mentor, the scholar Charles Babbage. As pressures mount and feelings grow, these two form a partnership that will change the course of the future. Jane Austen meets Steve Jobs in this poignant pretech romance heralding the computer age. In celebration of our 10th season, come along with us as we recalculate this music-laced story of love and friendship, the patrons’ pick: Ada & The Engine.

KIM’S CONVENIENCE

By Ins Choi

Humor and heart on every aisle.

Mr. Kim, a first-generation Korean immigrant, dispenses fatherly wisdom, history lessons, and potato chips from behind his convenience store counter in the upand-coming Regent Park neighborhood of Toronto.

With new luxury buildings popping up around the convenience store and a Walmart preparing to move in, Mr. Kim receives an unexpected offer for his property.

He now has a difficult decision to make: keep the cash or keep Kim’s. But Kim’s Convenience is more than just his livelihood — it is his legacy. Follow Mr. Kim as he tries desperately, and hilariously, to convince his daughter Janet, a budding photographer, to take over the store.

Wholly original, hysterically funny, and deeply moving, Kim’s Convenience tells the story of one Korean family struggling to face the future amidst the bitter memories of their past. But no matter what, humor and heart find their way onto every aisle in this award-winning play that is now a hit series on Netflix.

ONLY SOME OF GOD’S CHILDREN OR MISSISSIPPI MAGNOLIAS

By Paris Crayton III

Will roots grow on Promised Land?

Best friends, John Curtis and William “Cochise” Brown, return home to Plantersville, Mississippi after taking part in the 1963 March on Washington. Inspired by the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders, the two men contemplate if they want to spend the rest of their lives in the south. Betty, John’s wife, is anxious to leave Mississippi after their son Ezekiel is attacked at a sit-in protest. Meanwhile Cochise’s wife, Hattie Mae, a local juke joint singer, is excited at the prospects of singing in northern nightclubs. She willingly leaves the decision to Cochise, but Cochise only looks to John. The hope of owning the Promised Land, worked on by generations of John’s family, further complicates the decision of whether to leave Mississippi. Where will these two close families choose to grow their roots: in new northern lands, or the fertile southern soil they know so well? Only Some of God's Children or Mississippi Magnolias is a beautiful, yet terribly honest story of five different flowers just waiting to bloom.
