ICHTHYODYSSEY: a puppet rock opera 9/3 - 9/17

Homeroom probably isn’t alone in thinking that the best part of “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is the puppet rock opera at the end. I mean, it’s a great movie from beginning to end, but puppet rock operas are awesome the to nth degree.

So we have to tell you about ICHTHYODYSSEY: a puppet rock opera composed and directed by Max Wirt. The production will be put on by the Rough House at the Puppy Tears Festival. The event runs September 3rd through the 17th on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm and on Sundays at 7pm. We don’t have a lot of other information, but you contact the folks behind it by calling 408-646-9299 or
emailing reservations@roughhousetheatre.com.

Physics for Listeners: a Composers' Concert

Homeroom is excited to debut a new concert of commissioned music composed by some of Chicago’s best and most exciting musicians and composers. The idea behind the concert is to bring together composers from across Chicago’s jazz/improv and contemporary classical scenes to write for a single ensemble. It is an opportunity for audiences to hear new work by a broad range of composers. The concert not only pays composers to write a new piece, but also introduces them to other composers working in Chicago. Homeroom believes in the importance of supporting Chicago composers who write new and innovative music.

The composers include The composers include Matthew Dotson: guitar; Tim Daisy: drums and percussion; Jason Raynovich: cello; Katherine Young: bassoon; Tobin Summerfield: bass and guitar; and Dan Mohr: piano & voice.
