SUMMARY:Chicago Queer History Walking Tours: May 23 Sex and Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:It’s IML weekend\, and to commemorate this week is all about the ways Queer people use sex to rebel. Lauren Berlant and Michael Warner argue that society’s insistence on keeping sex private and personal perpetuates the idea that straight\, cishet lives are the norm. So this week we’re going to explore the ways that queer lives were made public in the past. Learn about Cruising in the 1870s\, Lesbian hangouts from prohibition that revolutionized Jazz\, and the first major protest against Anita Bryant\, along with other sexy sites of Queer joy from the past.\nThe University of Illinois Chicago Gender and Sexuality Center presents a series of Chicago Queer History Walking Tours for Summer 2026. Tours are conducted by Daniel Williams\, a political science professor who’s been bringing the details of Chicago’s queer past to life on social media. Follow him on Instagram @Daniel.Edward.Williams \nWhen: Saturday\, May 23\, 1 pm\nStart: Bank of America Building Plaza (110 N Wacker Dr on the North Side)\nEnd: 2nd Story Bar (157 E Ohio St #2)\nDistance: apx 2 miles \nAll walking tours are free\, with tips gratefully accepted\, but not expected.

SUMMARY:Rapornzel
DESCRIPTION:The bawdy\, silly\, and immensely entertaining adult pantos by Britain’s Tom Whalley have become a popular holiday season tradition at PrideArts\, and the company will continue this tradition with its fourth Whalley panto – RAPORNZEL. Like its PrideArts predecessors JACK OFF THE BEANSTALK\, SLEEPING WITH BEAUTY\, and THROBBIN WOOD\, RAPORNZEL will fracture a famous fairy tale with unimaginable R-rated puns\, pop songs\, and audience participation\, all adding up to an outrageously good time. RAPORNZEL will be directed by Claire Hart Proepper of Laughing Stock Theatre\, the Evanston based theatre company specializing in Commedia dell’arte. The Italian tradition of Commedia dell’arte\, which flourished in the 16th Century\, was an influence on the genre of British pantos in its use of improvision\, exaggerated characters\, slapstick comedy\, and audience participation. Proepper’s experience in performing and directing Commedia dell’arte makes her uniquely qualified to bring the anarchic humor of Whalley’s panto to life.
