2014 Apr 15

The University of Rhode Island Theatre Department features Benjamin Church of East Providence, R.I., as Ensemble Member in its show-stopping production of the world-famous musical, "Chicago."

An indisputable classic about fame, fortune, and "all that jazz," the multiple Tony, Grammy and Oscar-winning musical is based on the book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Ebb, and the play written by Maurine Dallas Watkins.

URI Professor and Theatre Department Chair Paula McGlasson will direct the dozens of actors as they bring this award-winning stinging satire about corruption, crime and celebrity to the stage in Kingston this month.
