Call Me Elizabeth

Porchlight Music Theatre is proud to announce the Chicago streaming premiere with KB Productions of “Call Me Elizabeth,” a one-woman show about the early life of Elizabeth Taylor, written by and starring Kayla Boye and directed by Erin Kraft. The 70-minute production may be viewed on-demand April 23 – 30 with a press premiere on Friday, April 23 at 7 p.m. CDT. Tickets are on sale now for $25 per household from PorchlightMusicTheatre.org, with streaming available up to 72 hours after initial viewing. A portion of proceeds benefits Howard Brown Health and Brave Space Alliance in honor of Taylor’s advocacy and activism in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Fresh off her triumph as Best Actress for “Butterfield 8” and recovery from a recent brush with death, Elizabeth Taylor is struggling with her hardest role yet: herself. Through an intimate conversation with a biographer, “Call Me Elizabeth” examines the movie star’s early life, career and loves as she grapples with the culture of celebrity.
