Événement

David Boyle at Givins Beverly Castle

In 1991 David Boyle took over his ailing father's job as church organist & choir director. This solo show is a workplace confessional that explores twenty-five + years of sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant interac-tions with the congregation.

"I was raised Catholic so the stories and songs from the Catholic tradition felt famil-iar to me, but whatever your tradition, these well-told sto-ries will move you, tickle your funny bone, and make you wonder at the acciden-tals of this thing called life." Cherryandspoon.com

"Hitting his pace like the writer of book you just can't put down, Boyle crafts his stories from vivid, sensory observa-tions of the details that make an ordinary experi-ence memorable. Boyle's tales reveal a well-developed discipline of structure that would hold up to even the driest analysis. Though to an audience, they just seem fascinating." The Elgin Review

"At turns hilarious, thought-provoking and touching, he is a wonderful story-teller who showed his met-tle even before he got into the meat of the show... The audience hung on every word...--Pioneer Press, Minneapolis

"The piece as a whole is a well-wrought mix of wit, cussedness, close observation and earned emotion."--Chicago Reader

Givins Beverly Castle provides an exquisitely intimate South Side concert experience, with parking on-site.

On the top of a hill, on the far South Side sits an ancient castle. Understandably, because it is the citys only castle, it has long held a special place in the hearts and memories of those who have called the Beverly neighborhood home.

Tickets can be purchased at the door one hour prior to the performance.
