3 From The Artistic Director O NOVEMBER 4, 2003, BoHo Theatre was officially formed. Now, over ten years later, we have arrived with pride at the end of our 10th Season with what is perhaps our largest show to date: Parade. It is a multi-faceted and highly complex story; one that weaves together societal issues with deeply personal challenges, as the threads of prejudice, tolerance, and justice are intertwined with fear, pride, and regret. N While these overarching themes cannot be ignored, what is profoundly moving and the core of the story is the love that is formed in the midst of this chaos and solidified as a result of tragedy. I believe this is what makes Parade such a groundbreaking piece of musical theatre: amongst rousing and glorious music, there comes the simplicity of a harmony being formed between two people striving to understand one another and themselves. They, along with all others, are forced to choose between love and fear. These basic human pillars are what drive each and every one of us whether in the tragic or the mundane. If you enjoy what you see today, please consider making a donation to our company, or becoming a part of our family as a Board or Company Member. Our house manager will be happy to tell you about BoHo. I would also like to invite you to attend our upcoming 10th Season Celebration, taking place on December 7th.
