Local Talent Takes on Burt Bacharach Role for Park Ridge Chorale Concert

PARK RIDGE - (July 18, 2016) - Through the cosmic magic of the Austin Powers time traveling car, a "young" Burt Bacharach will join The Park Ridge Chorale to narrate its upcoming concert, "Bacharach and Friends", Saturday, July 23, 7 p.m., St. Luke's Lutheran Church, 205 N. Prospect, Park Ridge.

Des Plaines native, Dustin Kukla Beelow, a recent graduate of William Rainey Harper College, will narrate throughout the concert, in character, as Burt Bacharach. Beelow was heavily involved in the speech and debate team on campus, where he received several national medals for Dramatic Interpretation. He also served as the team's captain his second year.

"We can't wait for the audience to experience Dustin's narration as Burt Bacharach throughout the concert," said Rhett O'Neill, Park Ridge Chorale president.

Beelow has had lead roles in five high school productions, completed voice over work, and starred in the short film, "404". He will be attending University of Minnesota in the fall to study Communication and Psychology.
