SUMMARY:Edgar Arceneaux\, Until\, Until\, Until . . . at the Museum of Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Edgar Arceneaux is a contemporary artist working in Los Angeles\, whose primary materials are histories and memories marred by gaps in logic\, clichés\, and erasures. Working within these gaps\, Arceneaux applies a surreal\, dream-like lens to pry open the messy contents of history\, and pull what we think we already know into new shapes. \nArceneaux’s live performance Until\, Until\, Until . . . restages Broadway legend Ben Vereen’s infamous 1981 blackface performance at Ronald Reagan’s inaugural gala\, and its aftermath. As an homage to vaudevillian Bert Williams\, one of America’s first mainstream Black entertainers\, Ben Vereen performed a moving tribute to Williams on national television\, donned in blackface make up\, as was required of Black vaudevillian performers in the early 20th century. In the first half of his performance\, Vereen performed a song and dance routine in the vaudevillian style. The second half of his show contained biting commentary about the history of Black performance in the US\, assimilation into white norms\, and white supremacy\, but woefully\, that section was edited out of the national broadcast\, leading to a national outrage and Vereen’s career derailment. Vereen was never allowed to tell his side of the story . . . until now. \nA multilayered\, abstract fever dream of a play\, Arceneaux’s Until\, Until\, Until . . . invites audiences to directly experience Vereen’s censored performance\, deemed too dangerous to air on national television. \nEdgar Arceneaux’s Until\, Until\, Until . . . was commissioned by Performa and MIT’s Vera List Visual Arts Center for the Performa 15 Biennial. Now\, 10 years since its debut\, this restaging is an opportunity to reflect on what’s changed in the years since. \nThe MCA presentation is organized by Laura Paige Kyber\, Assistant Curator of Performance. \nNote: This performance begins with a cocktail hour inside the theater. \nImmerse yourself in the world of the performance while listening to a vaudeville-era playlist. Audience members are welcome to arrive up until the performance officially kicks off at 8:30 pm. Light snacks and drinks for audiences age 21 and over are available for purchase. The performance has a run time of 50 minutes. \nAccessibility includes: CART caption and audio description for October 19th performance. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/edgar-arceneaux-until-until-until/

SUMMARY:NOISES OFF at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:The cast and crew of Nothing On are scrambling to prepare for opening night\, but despite their earnest efforts\, the production is an absolute mess. Line flubs and lost props and missed cues\, oh my! Can this beleaguered ensemble overcome egos and jealousies to pull the show together in time? \nOnstage antics collide with offstage foibles in Steppenwolf’s production of Noises Off\, the classic comedy that writes an ingenious\, slapstick and zany tribute to “theatre-people” everywhere. By the end of this dizzying play-within-a-play\, you won’t know stage right from left. \nNoises Off will be performed in Steppenwolf’s Downstairs Theater. \nAccessibility: ASL interpreted \nhttps://www.steppenwolf.org/tickets–events/seasons-/2024-25/noises-off/
