Pippin, The 39 Steps, School House Rock Live Jr, oh my. . .

Curtain Call’s Front Street Theatre is bursting with excitement this fall!

A mere year ago, Curtain Call Theatre was just preparing to open their new Front Street Theatre at 11112 Front Street in Mokena. Since the inaugural fall show in 2016, the theatre has sold-out 26 performances of The Mousetrap, It’s a Wonderful Life – a radio show, GODSPELL, and Not Now, Darling. Now in its second season in Mokena, Curtain Call is proud to share all the excitement going on at the theatre.

If you should walk by the theatre during the evening hours on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays you will hear songs like “we’ve got magic to do” from the popular musical Pippin. Pippin will be the featured musical this fall with opening night on September 29th at 7:30. Pippin performances will be: September 29 & 30, October 6 & 7 at 7:30 p.m. and October 1, 7 & 8 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available for online purchase at: www.ccctheatre.com or by calling the box office at: 1-708-607-2281. Seating is limited to 70 for each performance, so please order your tickets in advance.

Join this amazingly talented cast on a journey with Pippin through music and dance. Pippin is the heir to the Frankish throne, but the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power. In the end, though, Pippin finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary.

This will be the largest ensemble to be on the stage, with 21 performers and 6 musicians from local communities that spread from Mokena to Schererville, IN. Director, David Luecht, and Assistant Director, Frank Lopez of Joliet with Music Director, Jennifer Dale of Chicago, have brought together an amazing vision of this classic musical from Stephen Schwartz.

As Pippin gets ready for opening night, the Front Street Theatre will be also holding auditions for its December performance of The 39 Steps. The 39 Steps is a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! The show is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters, an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance.

Auditions will be held at the Front Street Theatre Sunday, September 17, at 6:30 p.m. and Monday, September 18, at 8 p.m. For more information about auditions, please look on the audition tab located on our website at: www.ccctheatre.com. The 39 Steps will be directed by Marta Koonce and will be performed the weekends of December 1-3 and 8-10. Online tickets will be available starting in October.

You would think that would be a lot happening, but there’s more! Curtain Call’s Young Performers will be rehearsing at the Front Street Theatre on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays for their performance of School House Rock Live! This adorable show will feature performers in the 4th thru 8th grade. Directed by Ann Kotze, School House Rock Live! will be performed at Summit Jr. High School in Frankfort on November 3rd -5th.
