SUMMARY:Joffrey Ballet: Carmen
DESCRIPTION:Runs September 18 – 28\nFrom the choreographer of the critically acclaimed Frankenstein\, the Joffrey presents the U.S. premiere of Liam Scarlett’s Carmen\, a tale of love\, betrayal\, and defiance set within the gritty confines of a cigarette factory in 1930s Spain. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmid the chaos of a nation on the brink of civil war\, the uncompromising and seductive Carmen\, who insists on loving whom she chooses\, meets Don José\, whose consuming devotion ignites a blaze of passion and peril. \nIn this adaptation of Bizet’s opera\, Scarlett brings new intensity to a performance that pulsates with life—and ends in tragedy. With striking designs by Jon Bausor and Scarlett’s signature focus on evocative storytelling\, Carmen commands the stage into a tempest of desire and destruction\, revealing the timeless story of a woman who dares to live on her own terms. \nDo not overpay for Joffrey tickets! Beware of ticket resellers offering overpriced or invalid tickets. The Joffrey is the only official seller with the best prices\, available at joffrey.org.

SUMMARY:Say Gay Plays: With About Face Theatre and Silk Road Cultural Center
DESCRIPTION:About Face and Silk Road Cultural Center are thrilled to announce four Chicago-based playwrights who received commissions to develop short plays for the Say Gay Plays collection. Hannah Li Epstein (AFT) Emilio Williams (AFT)\, Esho Rasho (Silk Road)\, and Lani Montreal (Silk Road). \nJamil Khoury\, Silk Road Cultural Center’s Founding Executive Artistic Director\, stated\, “In an era of state censorship\, word policing\, and criminalized identities\, Say Gay Plays is a perfect antidote. A bold\, unapologetic short plays initiative developed by NYC’s Voyage Theater that champions Queer joy\, collective resilience\, and personal triumph. It is an honor and privilege to partner with About Face Theatre and Northeastern Illinois University to bring to life stories that offer hope and healing in turbulent times. Florida’s Governor and state legislature be damned. We at Silk Road Cultural Center most definitely say gay!” \nSay Gay Plays is an extension of an initiative of New York City’s Voyage Theater Company and part of Goodman Theatre’s Free Acts of Theatre sponsored by DCASE.

SUMMARY:Steppenwolf: "Dear Steve . . . it's Allie"
DESCRIPTION:A love song to small town America from a radical leftist snowflake\,\na contextually contingent\, trans-feminine and gender-mobile father\,\na heartland boy and a cosmopolitan lady. \n  \n“Dear Steve . . . it’s Allie” is a narrative concert\, a theatrical autobiography told with songs and stories and pictures. \nWhen Allie’s evangelical cousin invites her to come back to her hometown and go to church with him\, Allie takes the opportunity to talk to Steve—on the late-night drive to his boyhood home—about the things she knows he was unable to see\, and the unseen forces that have shaped them both. In a performance that is both traditional and high tech\, Allie plays the piano and mountain dulcimer\, weaving in historic field recordings\, electronic music and symphonic samples\, as she sings\, tells stories\, and talks to Steve about the heartland boy and devoted father she watched from a distance and the life she now lives as a trans elder\, composer and artist.

SUMMARY:Steppenwolf: The Big Reveal Live Show
DESCRIPTION:Show runs August 1 – August 3 \nGlobal drag icon Sasha Velour (HBO’s We’re Here\, RuPaul’s Drag Race) brings her latest theatrical spectacular\, The Big Reveal Live Show to Chicago after sold out shows across the US and Europe. \nKnown for her emotional\, thoughtful and crowd-shaking reveals\, The Big Reveal Live Show takes things to a whole new level as Velour goes further than she ever has before. Grounded in classic theater\, the show takes on many forms over the course of 90 minutes: high-concept lip sync performances\, artful oration\, childhood film footage\, video art and more. The Big Reveal Live Show shows this superstar at her most playful and hilarious. From the show’s whip smart comedic script and side-splitting gags\, she uses comedy as a way to disarm audiences and hit them with emotional truths. The show’s drag performances are accompanied by a diverse soundtrack ranging from Stevie Wonder to Britney Spears\, Stephen Sondheim to Deep Purple. \nCopies of Velour’s book\, The Big Reveal: An Illustrated Manifesto of Drag\, will be available for sale at the show and purchasers will have a chance to get their copy signed by Velour after the performance.

SUMMARY:Queen For A Day
DESCRIPTION:Runs through Sunday August 3rd\nHeavy is the head that wears the crown. Haughty is the homo that designs the gown. \nHell in a Handbag Productions is pleased to conclude its 2024/25 Season with the world premiere of QUEEN FOR A DAY written by ensemble member Tyler Anthony Smith and directed by Stephanie Shaw. \nAmerican fashion designer Roy Halston Frowick (Will Lidke)\, known to the world simply as Halston\, is down on his luck. He’s packing up his chic-as-hell Olympic Tower office for reasons he doesn’t want to discuss. To make matters worse\, Elizabeth I (Tyler Anthony Smith) is knocking on his door. Yes\, Elizabeth I\, whose reign as Queen of England spanned from 1558 to 1603. But it’s 1984 in New York City. All that time spent at Studio 54 might be starting to catch up to the King of Minimalism’s brain. \nElizabeth I demands that Roy (who hates being called that) make her a new gown to (she lets out a singular cough) die in. Oh\, and she needs it by the end of the day\, even though he seems to be in the midst of a breakdown. He takes her money and agrees\, and the unlikely pair moves forward with the design of a lifetime. That is until Halston has to help his best friend\, Liza Minnelli (Dakota Hughes)\, with her new act. Any questions? \nRun time is approximately 75 minutes\, no intermission. Late seating is not guaranteed and at the discretion of house management. \nThe Bramble Arts Loft is located on the second floor of Andersonville’s historic Capital Garage building. It is accessible via an elevator.

SUMMARY:You Will Get Sick
DESCRIPTION:A young man with a secret. An older woman who will listen. A predatory flock of birds. An upcoming audition for The Wizard of Oz.
