The Spartanburg Little Theatre is proud to present the smash hit musical Chicago on January 11, 12, 18, and 19 at 8:00 pm and on January 13, 19, and 20 at 3:00 pm in the David W. Reid Theatre at the Chapman Cultural Center.
In roaring twenties Chicago, chorus girl Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie joins forces with Velma Kelly, another merry murderess, and the two vie for the spotlight and the headlines in search of the American dream: fame, fortune, and acquittal. A sensuous tale of sin, corruption, and all that jazz, Chicago features a dazzling score, knock-out dancing, and show-stopping favorites like "When You're Good to Mama," "Cell Block Tango," and "Razzle Dazzle."
"We've been trying to get the rights to do Chicago for over 10 years," says Jay Coffman, executive artistic director of The Spartanburg Little Theatre. "We're very excited and honored to be the first theatre in the Upstate to finally be able to stage this amazing show."
The 1996 Broadway revival of Chicago currently holds the record for the longest running revival and the longest running American musical in Broadway history. The 2002 film version won 6 Academy Awards, including one for Best Picture.
"The anticipation level for this show is very high," says Coffman. "With this stellar cast and the amazing creative team behind it, I know the Upstate will be talking about Chicago for years to come."
Chicago is rated PG-13 for mild adult language and adult themes. The Saturday, January 19th performance at 3:00 pm will be sign language-interpreted for the deaf.
Tickets for Chicago are available at www.chapmanculturalcenter.org or by calling the Chapman Cultural Center box office at (864) 542-2787.

Monday-Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Gallery East in Spartanburg will host local artist Bailie's new exhibit, In the Valley of the Shadow Omo, Tuesday, Jan. 8, through Saturday, Feb. 16. With 12 main sculptures and a variety of ceramic bowls, Bailie (single name only) has captured the essence of the main 12 tribes in the African region of Omo. Created from natural materials, such as clay, wood, and shells, the representative statue for each tribe is as historically accurate as possible.
This sculpture-based show will hold a reception Friday, Jan. 11, 6-9 p.m., and the exhibit is open to the public Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 512 E. Main Street. In addition to the statues, there is a variety of other related items, including jewelry, lip plates, wooden statues, and sticks. The main statues range from $500 to $2,000, and the related items sell for $10-$75. Visitors can register to win one of the exhibit items, valued at $75, by submitting their names and basic contact information.
Bailie has created an exhibit full of "art with a cause." He was inspired by other tribal imitations and decided to create his own, thereby stumbling upon the issue of construction along the Omo River in Ethiopia. Omo tribes are suffering throughout the valley as a large hydro-electric dam is threatening to be built upon the Omo River. This dam would only worsen the problematic dry lifestyle of the Omo tribes; however countries, such as China, are pushing to continue construction. This exhibit serves to represent the tribes and to raise awareness to the issues the dam would bring to the Omo tribes. Bailie has captured the beauty of each tribe with a natural grace that urges viewers to fight for the tribes' future.
Bailie, a Spartanburg native, is the owner of Bailie Studios. His artwork ranges from murals and portraits to sculptures, and his work has been featured across the state. He is a member of the South Carolina Commission Roster of Teacher Education and resident artist at the local South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind. He also teaches at the Spartanburg Art Museum in Chapman Cultural Center. Bailie has worked on this new exhibit for more than two years, and states he has "not only grown as an artist but gained a wealth of knowledge I would not have been exposed to." You can find more of his art at www.bailiestudios.com.
Gallery East is a local retail-front gallery located near downtown Spartanburg, open Tuesday through Saturday.
