“Night Falls” – A Night of Terror and Delight!
CHICAGO – August 21, 2008. The Annoyance is proud to introduce “Night Falls,” and homage to 60’s horror classics like The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits.

Bear Hospital Productions is proud to present a night of terror and delight. Four scenes culled from the scripts of a never-before-seen television horror show will be presented live on stage.

In the town of Knight Falls, Maine, nothing is as it seems. A zero turns hero by manipulating time itself in the chilling “Take Your Time.” A mime is framed for a grisly murder but has nothing to say in his defense in “Tiny Dancer.”

A failing salesman takes control of his life, as well as the lives of others, in “Influence People.” A beautiful, young co-ed boards a train to oblivion in the terrifying “Nightmare on Rails.” Narrator Rob Burlington will guide audiences through this tiny, terrifying town trapped in time.

So why not come on out and visit us in Knight Falls? Just head up Maine Street and take a left at the mysterious Novelty Shop…

…we’ll be waiting for you.

NIGHT FALLS will run Sunday nights at 7 PM from October 5th to November 2nd (5 weeks total). Tickets are $10. Tickets can be purchased either at The Annoyance website, theannoyance.com or by calling the box office at (773) 561-HONK (4665). The Annoyance is located at 4830 N. Broadway, Chicago, Illinois.

Chicago Opera Theater Mourns Loss of Founder Alan Sonte
CHICAGO (July 11, 2008) — Chicago Opera Theater (COT) mourns the loss of founder Alan Stone who died Wednesday in Lincoln Park at the age of 79. Chicago Opera Theater will dedicate their 2009 Spring Festival Season, COT’s 35th anniversary season, to Alan Stone.

Stone founded Chicago Opera Studio, Inc., which later became Chicago Opera Theater. Chicago Opera Studio, Inc. premiered with what would become the company’s “calling-card” opera Mozart’s Così fan tutte in 1974. Stone served as Artistic Director until 1984, and remained with the company as an advisor until 1993.

“There simply would be no Chicago Opera Theater without Alan Stone,” said current COT General Director Brian Dickie who began his tenure in 1999. “COT was his dream, his baby, and his vision.”

“In my early years here in Chicago, I relied much on Alan’s great advice, and cherished our times swapping amusing antidotes over champagne,” Dickie continued. “Alan will be greatly missed and the whole of Chicago’s opera-loving audience, including myself, will always be immensely grateful for his life’s work.”

Chicago Opera Theater’s board of directors, staff, and artists extend their deepest sympathy to Alan Stone’s family.

About Chicago Opera Theater
Founded in 1974 by Alan Stone, Chicago Opera Theater has carved a significant place for itself in the operatic life of Chicago and has reached an audience of hundreds of thousands through its main stage performances, outreach, education and young artist programs.
