SUMMARY:Goles-Glikn - Queer Yiddish Theater
DESCRIPTION:Join NYC-based GLYK\, a aueer Yiddish theater collective\, for a show that asks: What’s an authentic Jew and how do you become one?

This show will feature excerpts from Sholem Asch’s marranage melodrama Maranen and Paula R.’s (Prilutski) high-art send-up Aktor. \nRooted in the tradition of kleynkunst\, an early 20th century Yiddish theater mode attempting to overcome the distinctions between amateur/professional\, art/life\, and audience/performer\, GLYK weaves our 21st century queer sensibility through patchwork performances featuring short scenes\, poems\, and songs. \nDoors open at 6:30. Show at 7:00pm. Run time is approximately 75 minutes with no intermission. \nTickets are free but required\, and we invite you to pay what you can for them to support GLYK and Chicago YIVO.

Wyoming 1963: a wild landscape of extreme rural poverty and insular conservative communities. When Ennis and Jack take jobs on the isolated Brokeback Mountain\, all their certainties of life change forever as they flounder in unexpected emotional waters of increasing depth. Directed by Jonathan Butterell and starring Harrison Ball (former principal dancer at the New York City Ballet) as Ennis Del Mar and Jack Cameron Kay (Netflix’s Boots\, Club Kid) as Jack Twist\, this beautiful tale of an irresistible and hidden love spans twenty years. A live Country Western band onstage weaves a soulful sonic landscape as vast as the West with original songs by Dan Gillespie Sells.

SUMMARY:Chicago Repertory Ballet's Spring Series
DESCRIPTION:MAY 29 – 31 | RUTH PAGE CENTER FOR THE ARTS\nREPERTORY INCLUDES:\nTHE RITE OF SPRING – WADE SCHAAF\nWORLD PREMIERE – YANIS ERIC PIKIERIS\nWORLD PREMIERE – WADE SCHAAF\nJoin Chicago Repertory Ballet for an exhilarating Spring Series that celebrates repertory\, reinvention\, and bold new voices. Anchoring the our Spring Series is the remounting of Founding Artistic Director Wade Schaaf’s The Rite of Spring\, set to Igor Stravinsky’s watershed score. \nCRB has not performed this ballet since its striking 2021 presentation on Crickett Hill\, and we are thrilled to bring this monumental work to the stage at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts. Drawing inspiration from the Ballets Russes era while infusing it with CRB’s contemporary classical sensibility\, Schaaf’s Rite is visceral\, ritualistic\, and theatrically charged — a work that honors tradition while boldly reinterpreting it for today’s audiences. \nThe program also features a world premiere work by choreographer Yanis Eric Pikieris. Known for his sweeping physicality and intricate musicality\, Pikieris crafts movement that is both architecturally precise and emotionally expansive. His choreography demands virtuosity while revealing the humanity of the dancer — an arresting combination that has quickly distinguished his voice. \nAlso on the program is a world premiere by Founding Artistic Director Wade Schaaf. Schaaf’s work has been described as “musically sophisticated and dramatically immediate\,” blending structural rigor with an unflinching theatrical instinct. This new creation continues their exploration of contemporary classical form\, pushing the company’s artists both technically and expressively. \nDo not miss these exciting works including the Chicago premiere of Miami based choreographer Yanis Eric Pikieris!

SUMMARY:Jibz Cameron: Hell in a Handbag
DESCRIPTION:A freaks freak\, artist Jibz Cameron\, best known for her multimedia alter ego Dynasty Handbag\, on her new memoir “Hell in a Handbag” \nQueer performance artist Jibz Cameron\, best known for her multimedia alter ego Dynasty Handbag\, heads to Chicago for an evening of performance\, film\, and readings celebrating the debut of her memoir. Entitled Hell in a Handbag\, the book traces Cameron’s unique perspective shaped by a childhood spent with hippie clowns in Northern California\, to making morbid zines as a teen in the East Bay punk scene\, to in-your-face experiences of misogyny in New York City’s avant-garde theater scene. By turns both frank and funny\, Cameron addresses the impact of addiction and mental illness in her life\, as well as her mother’s suicide\, in a candid account of her journey. This personal narrative culminates in the birth of Dynasty Handbag\, and her gutting commentary on contemporary life. In a first\, both Jibz Cameron and Dynasty Handbag will appear each evening to tell the story of these intimately intertwined halves of one iconic individual. \nPlease note: This program contains mature content including mentions of suicide and self-harm.

SUMMARY:Ragbagalia Arts Fest
DESCRIPTION:As Chicago emerges from its winter burrow\, a new cultural fixture is set to bloom with a historic headlining performance. Ragbagalia\, a brand-new femme and queer arts festival\, officially announces its inaugural event for May 16\, 2026\, at Sleeping Village\, featuring the legendary ESG on their highly-anticipated “Final Dance” tour. \nFor many\, this will be the final opportunity to witness the seismic influence of ESG—a band whose minimalist funk and post-punk rhythms provided the DNA for hip-hop and house music—on a Chicago stage. Their farewell performance anchors a curated “ragbag” team of\nartists dedicated to reclaiming space for voices that deserve to be heard. “In today’s political and cultural climate\, safer\, femme-forward spaces feel more necessary than ever\,” says Tracy Evans\, Founder of Ragbagalia. “Bringing ESG’s ‘Final Dance’ to this stage is the ultimate tribute to the underground. We are pairing these icons with emerging voices to build something that is both revolutionary and a celebration of the legacy they’ve built.” \nInspired by the radical history of the Riot Grrrl movement and the space-making narratives of authors like Sara Marcus and Carrie Brownstein\, Ragbagalia disrupts the traditional festival model. The event is entirely women-led and multidisciplinary\, centering women\, femme\, queer\,\nand marginalized artists across music\, performance\, and visual art. \nAlongside ESG\, the lineup includes Chicago’s own She’s Crafty (all-female Beastie Boys tribute)\, and powerhouse acts Period Bomb\, Uniity\, and Pleeay. Rooted in the city’s supportive arts community\, Evans and co-leader Ashley Barlow (co-founder of littleHEADbutt Studios) have designed Ragbagalia to prioritize safety\, authenticity\, and accessibility. Held at the ADA-accessible Sleeping Village\, the festival emphasizes affordability\nwith an all-day ticket that includes live music and a curated pop-up gallery. In keeping with its commitment to equity\, profits from the event go directly to the participating artists\, with remaining funds donated to the festival’s primary partner\, Punk Rock Saves Lives.
