Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.

Theron Wineinger is a scenic designer, experiential designer, and art director for theatre, opera and dance.

Starring Role Katie Trumbull:Moving to NYC and the commitment it takes to chase a dream. It’s hard to believe that just a couple of short years ago, Katie was leaving Toledo, Ohio—fresh out BGSU—without a clue about what would come next. The only thing she did know was that she had to give it a shot. So, with a heart full of dreams and a suitcase full of hope, she packed up and moved to New York City to break into the world of theater.

A Production Manager works with the management team, technical crew and Designers to make sure the technical elements of a show are completed safely, on time and on budget. Production Managers work on a variety of different shows for a theatre season.

Although similar, there is a difference between a Production Manager and a Stage Manager. A Stage Manager liaises with different departments throughout the day and make sure everything is running smoothly, whereas a Production Manager liaises with different departments to ensure decisions being made are within budgets and everything is working safely.

Interlochen Arts Camp: There's an internationally recognized art camp just a few hours away from Toledo. Stage Door was lucky to have a former camper and her mom on the show to talk about the entire experience. What they loved, and what you can expect if you decide to send your child.
