found abandoned and helpless and is admitted to
London's prestigious Whitechapel hospital. Under the

Merrick is introduced to London society and slowly
evolves from an object of pity to an urbane and witty
favorite of the aristocracy and literati only to be denied
his ultimate dream, to become a man like any other.
EXPECTATION and PREPARATION:
We anticipate 4-5 weeks of evening rehearsals plus one
week of technical rehearsal for this production. (Due to
the fact that the 4th of July holiday occurs during our

Auditions for Summer Musical at The Kauffman Center!
BIG FISH
Book by John August
Music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Director: Amy Sander
Music Director: Matt Richardson
Choreographer: Lana Jensen
BIG FISH centers on the charismatic Edward
Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to
its fullest … and then some! Edward's
incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill
everyone around him – most of all, his devoted
wife Sandra. But their son, Will, about to have
a child of his own, is determined to find the
truth behind his father's epic tales and the
man behind the myth as Edward approaches the
final chapter of his life. Overflowing with
heart, humor and spectacular stagecraft, we
look forward to bringing you an extraordinary
new musical direct from Broadway that reminds
us why we love going to the theatre – for an
experience that's richer, funnier and BIGGER
than life itself.

Book by John August
Music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Director: Amy Sander
Music Director: Matt Richardson
Choreographer: Lana Jensen
BIG FISH centers on the charismatic Edward
Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to
its fullest … and then some! Edward's
incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill
everyone around him – most of all, his devoted
wife Sandra. But their son, Will, about to have
a child of his own, is determined to find the
truth behind his father's epic tales and the
man behind the myth as Edward approaches the
final chapter of his life. Overflowing with
heart, humor and spectacular stagecraft, we
look forward to bringing you an extraordinary
new musical direct from Broadway that reminds
us why we love going to the theatre – for an
experience that's richer, funnier and BIGGER
than life itself.

Sketch Group Bevvy Takes the Stage at the Kick Comedy Theater
The All-Female Comedy Troupe Performs March 18th
Chicago sketch group Bevvy will be joining the KC Improv Company for a night of comedy on March 18th,
2016 at the Kick Comedy Theater. The 8pm show will feature Presto! A Musical, the award-winning
improvised musical format from the improv comedy group. The performance uses the audience's suggestion
to create a completely improvised musical, complete with accompaniment.
Bevvy is an all female comedy group that creates high energy, dynamic, original sketch comedy that
challenges societal and comedic stereotypes.Though the Chicago based group has been together less than
6 months, they've already built a strong following and had the opportunity to perform all over Chicago,
including a sold out performance the final weekend of The Chicago Sketch Comedy Festival and a four week
run in Donny's Skybox at The Second City Training Center.
The 11 women of Bevvy work together to write, produce, and perform their shows. They partner with local
non-profits that empower women as a way to give back to their community. For their non-profit partners they
collect donated items, volunteer, offer free workshops and shows, and donate a portion of their show profits
when they're able. Bevvy is written and performed by Alyssa Wilden, Brooke Grassby, Erin Kelly, Emily
Shackelford, Katie Kooser, Kenzie West Molly Kessler, Natasha Forouzannia, Rachael Talentowski, Rebecca
Koelling, and Taylor Scott. Directed by Kenzie West.
