St Vincent's students set to take Chicago to Dundalk's An Táin

TY students at St Vincent's secondary school are working hard in rehearsals ahead of taking their production of Chicago to the stage in An Táin.

In roaring twenties Chicago, 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 and another merry murderess, Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the American Dream: fame, fortune, and acquittal. 

The talented students of the 2023 Transition Year are taking this show to the stage under the direction of their teachers, Victoria O’Hagan, Dervilia Hargadon, Leanne O’Doherty and Cathy McKeown.

It is an amateur production presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals and was based on the book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse.

Music and lyrics are by John Kander and Fred Ebb and the script adaptation is by David Thompson. 

The show runs on Thursday March 23rd and Friday March 24th at An Tain Arts Centre, with curtain up at 7pm. 

Tickets are on sale via An Tain box office and are priced at €12 (€10.50 plus €1.50 booking fee).

The box office is open in person from Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm and can be reached by phone on 042-9332332. Tickets may also be purchased online at www.antain.ie.
