HERstory: A Century of Songwriting Sisters at Skokie Theatre
About this event
Chicago cabaret artists Catherine Thomson and Anita Kallen, the HERstory duo, are thrilled to be returning to Skokie Theatre with a new show for 2024 - #3 in their HERstory series. Audiences will remember their past musical celebrations of the 19th Amendment & Voting Rights (HERstory I) and Trailblazing Women (HERstory II). This year Anita and Catherine are celebrating the famous and not-so-famous women songwriters who have contributed to Tin Pan Alley, the Great American Songbook, the Broadway canon, and contemporary popular music, with songs that span the decades. With music direction by the award-winning Beckie Menzie and percussion by Irwin Berkowitz, Anita and Catherine share songs by composers and lyricists from Carolyn Leigh, Dorothy Fields, and Dana Seusse, to Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Gloria Estefan, among others, and entertain audiences with inspiring stories of how these women became part of the soundtrack of our lives.
