SUGAR LAND, Texas (May13, 2019) – Inspiration Stage presents Chicago: High School Edition, featuring a cast of teen actors, May 17 – 19.
In Chicago during the Roaring 20s, Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap…until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess,” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the American dream of fame, fortune, and acquittal.
