Chicago, IL: The Beverly Theatre Guild (BTG) is delighted to announce the cast for its 63rd season opener, Singin’ in the Rain. This beloved classic explores drama surrounding Hollywood’s transition from silent films to talkies while entertaining audiences with Golden Age glamour, tantalizing tap dance, and a love story hopeless romantics can only dream of.

Our creative team is ready to make a splash with Fred Eberle (Oak Lawn) as Director, Sheilah O’Grady (Orland Park) as Assistant Director, Sharon Mason (Ashburn) and Michael Barr-Schinzel (Beverly) as Co-Music Directors, and Erin Soko (Rodgers Park) as Choreographer.

Additionally, Kelli Mason (Oak Lawn) will play the role of Dora Bailey, announcing the show’s movie stars Joanna Ziarko (Garfield Ridge) as Zelda Zanders, Rose Murphy (Chicago Loop) as Olga Mara, and Emily Roetker (Orland Park) as Mary Margaret.
