SUMMARY:Finding Your Laughter at Kennedy-King College with the Chicago International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:In this joyful and moving family portrait\, aspiring Chicago comedian Arlieta lives on the South Side with her aging father Milton Hall\, Sr.\, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Embracing optimism in the face of his affliction and finding inspiration in his own creative work as a radio show host\, Arlieta turns to the techniques of improv (“Yes\, and…”) to affirm and validate Milton’s increasingly murky experience of the world. \nAs Arlieta valiantly juggles the emotionally and financially taxing demands of caregiving\, she also rises through the ranks of improv comedy to find her own voice and a new career. Mixing humor and heartache\, jokes and tears\, Finding Your Laughter tracks Arlieta as she\, along with her “bonus mom” Charmaine\, work to support each other\, and Milton. Together\, they smile through the tears as they endure the inevitable challenges of the progressively degenerative disease. \nLanguage: English\nRun Time: 86 minutes \nAccessibility: Open Captions \nWebsite: https://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/film/finding-your-laughter/

SUMMARY:Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu at Music Box Theatre with the Chicago International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:What happens when comedians Bob Odenkirk and David Cross—the famous co-creators of Mr. Show—take a grueling trek across the Inca Trail in the Andes Mountains? A lot of jovial ribbing\, chewing of coca leaves\, and even some autograph requests. In this irreverent buddy-road-trip movie\, Bob and David\, accompanied by a friendly guide who seems in on every joke\, overcome physical adversity and their own relentless quipping to complete a journey that celebrates the wonders of Peruvian culture and sees the comic artists at their witty best. \nWith a healthy dose of Mr. Show-like gags\, the film also has a more serious side\, exploring the lingering psychological and physical effects of the life-threatening heart attack Odenkirk suffered in 2021 while filming the final season of Better Call Saul. As the two performers take their final steps to reach Machu Picchu\, their adventure becomes much more than just another joke\, and what emerges is a surprisingly tender portrait of male friendship and mid-to-late-life crisis. \nLanguage: English\nRun Time: 80 minutes \nAccessibility: Closed Captions \nWebsite: https://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/film/bob-and-david-climb-machu-picchu/

SUMMARY:Stand Up at Chicago History Museum with the Chicago International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:After a night out drinking with friends in Rotterdam ends in a terrible crash\, twentysomething Vera wakes in the hospital to discover one of her legs has been amputated. Frustrated and angry\, she struggles to accept her new reality until she encounters kindred spirit Xander inside her rehabilitation facility.

As Vera develops charged feelings for Xander\, she also embarks on her own journey to understand how to live life on her terms while navigating the world in a wheelchair. \nDutch director Mari Sanders\, who himself uses a wheelchair\, delivers a smart\, engaging and refreshingly unsentimental feature debut powered by winning\, naturalistic performances from leads Lucia Zemene and Daan Buringa. Sanders’ decision to cast actors living with disabilities to portray the film’s disabled characters grounds Stand Up in genuine authenticity\, depicting a community too seldom seen on screen. \nLanguage: Dutch\, English\nRun Time: 95 minutes \nAccessibility: ASL Interpreted\, Audio Description \nWebsite: https://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/film/stand-up/

You can catch him producing mics and shows all over the city\, including Power Hour\, Vibe Check\, and Puff Puff Laugh Comedy. He has also been featured on Comedians You Should Know\, Don’t Tell Comedy\, Laugh Factory\, House of Blues\, and The Den Theater.

They can be seen regularly all over Chicago\, where they live and produce the shows Nervous Laughter and Could Be Fun. \nThe comedian producers of the Bi Wives Club are three bi wives (not to each other) who perform\, celebrate\, and promote joke-dense\, authentic comedy. KRIS LANTZY is a queer comic and hot mom tackling alllll ‘the issues’ through her playful comedic lens\, like what to do when everyone thinks your wife is your sister? CHRISTEN MANVILLE has an unmatched ability to inhabit discordant perspectives with ease. She is the ideal date for an X-rated experimental puppet show and your grandmother’s 80th birthday party. KAYLA MCCAFFREY is an actor\, comedian\, and improvisor as well as a newlywed wife\, inner child nurturer\, and vegan dog mom.

SUMMARY:The Royale: ASL Interpreted Performance at Writers Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Jay is a really good boxer\, so good they call him “The Sport.” He’s won his last seventy-six fights and has his sights set on being crowned the next heavyweight champion. But it’s 1905\, and in the Jim Crow era\, a Black man doesn’t get to fight a reigning white champion. \nWhen a surprising chance at the title appears\, Jay gears up for the fight of his life—where the stakes are staggeringly high inside the ring and out. Inspired by real-world boxer Jack Johnson\, this adrenaline rush of a play by Marco Ramirez (Orange is the New Black\, Buena Vista Social Club) is a kinetic and poetic portrayal of what it takes and what it costs to make history. \nUse code WTASL2627 for $30.00 tickets. Our ASL interpreted performance is on November 14th at 2:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Sol Invictus at Harris Theater
DESCRIPTION:Led by the imaginative choreographer Hervé Koubi\, Compagnie Hervé Koubi makes its Chicago premiere with the mesmerizingly kinetic Sol Invictus. Named after the “invincible sun” deity of Ancient Rome\, the work is a gravity-defying fusion of contemporary movement\, capoeira\, and urban dance that transforms the stage into a playground for possibilities. It upholds love as the guarantor of peace\, asserting that despite fracture\, communion remains humanity’s saving grace. \nThe performance is set to a transcendent score featuring a composition by Mikael Karlsson\, alongside evocative excerpts by Steve Reich and digital composer Maxime Bodson. Reflecting on the work’s radiant spirit\, Koubi explains: “I want to talk about light\, solidarity\, and those bonds that unite us. Here\, the sun and the dance will emerge victorious.” \n  \nAccessibility: Audio Description \nWebsite: https://www.harristheaterchicago.org/performance/sol-invictus

SUMMARY:Home\, I'm Darling - ASL Interpreted Performance at TimeLine Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A darkly funny exploration of marriage\, nostalgia\, and the allure—and delusion—of the “perfect” past. \nJudy and Johnny are living their dream: the idealized 1950s suburban life. As Judy doubles down on her fully immersive retro domestic fantasy\, the seams of their hyper-curated life begin to fray. What begins as a lifestyle choice becomes a revealing—and unsettling—interrogation of gender roles\, identity\, and what it costs to perform happiness. \nA smash hit on the West End and winner of the 2019 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy\, Home\, I’m Darling is a razor-sharp satire that feels both timely and timeless. \nThis performance of Home\, I’m Darling will be ASL interpreted\, featuring American Sign Language interpretation of the dialogue and other spoken elements of the production. ASL interpreters will be positioned in a designated area visible from reserved seating for patrons using the service. \nAccessibility: ASL Interpreted \nWebsite Event Details: https://timelinetheatre.com/events/home-darling/ \nWebsite Link to Buy Tickets: https://timelinetheatre.my.salesforce-sites.com/ticket/#/instances/a0FV1000004Ac1hMAC
