SUMMARY:PRIDE Night - BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN at Chicago Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special PRIDE Night at Chicago Shakespeare’s North American premiere production of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN\, Tuesday\, June 2 at 5:30 p.m. with a party before the performance at 7:00 p.m. \nGather around the “CAMPfire” for a joyful celebration to kick-off Pride Month with Western music\, dancing\, community\, and a\nsplash of camp. Each ticket to the show includes one free drink\, light bites\, and special pre-show activities in the lobby. \nBROKEBACK MOUNTAIN\nMay 28-June 28\, 2026 at Chicago Shakespeare Theater\nGather around the campfire for the highly anticipated North American premiere! This sweeping love story for the ages by Ashley Robinson brings Annie Proulx’s captivating novella that inspired the Academy Award-winning film to the stage. 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.
