KEEP ISHMAEL
White Horse Theatre Company presents Keep Ishmael, a new rock musical, inspired by Herman Melville's Moby Dick. Keep Ishmael chronicles four friends who are tired of trying to live up to the high standards of their hometown — Naperville, IL. They abruptly flee from "The Best Place in America to Raise a Kid" and set out for adventure in their Ford Pequod. Mayhem ensues as they end up on a crazed captain's fishing boat in the Pacific Ocean chasing down America's favorite whale, Shamu.
Keep Ishmael is performed at Theatre Building Chicago, 1225 W. Belmont Ave, Chicago, Ill. Show times are Thursday, Friday and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., along with Sunday matinees at 3:00 p.m through September 16. Ticket prices are $20. Tickets may be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com, or to avoid service fees, please call the Theatre Building Chicago box office at (773) 327-5252.
