Casting Call for Chicago Premiere of MARIE CHRISTINE — book and music by Michael John LaChiusa. Directed by Lili-Anne Brown. Musical Direction by Aaron Benham.
BoHo Theatre is seeking non-equity performers for our fall production of MARIE CHRISTINE.
Play Synopsis
Set in the twilight years of the 19th century, this dark musical chronicles the journey of Marie Christine, a racially mixed woman imprisoned without a trial to face death. From her jail cell, she recounts her journey from a genteel life of privilege in New Orleans Creole society through love, betrayal, and incomprehensible vengeance, to her final tragic fate. Inspired by the Medea myth, this tale of dark magic and raw emotion is loosely based on the life of real-life voodoo practitioner Marie Laveau.
