SUMMARY:CHOIR BOY at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:Pharus Young is now a senior at the Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys\, an institution committed to building “strong\, ethical black men\,” where he endeavors to be the best leader of the school’s prestigious choir in its 50-year history. But in a world built on rites and rituals\, should he conform to the expectations of his peers in order to gain the respect he desperately seeks? \nWritten by Oscar-winning ensemble member Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight)\, this Tony-nominated play—threaded throughout with soul-stirring a cappella gospel hymns—is the story of a young gay black man and his battle between identity and community. Choir Boy is an elegy to quiet rebellion\, filled with the sound of longing and aspiration. It is a love song in pianissimo to the unseen heart that beats inside us all. \nhttps://www.steppenwolf.org/tickets–events/seasons/2021-22/choir-boy/

SUMMARY:Life After
DESCRIPTION:“Musical theater perfection…exquisite from start to finish” (BroadwayWorld). \nFrank Carter famously authored self-help books. But Alice\, his 16-year-old daughter\, finds cold comfort in his positivity platitudes when he tragically never comes home one night. As she puzzles out the events of the day that changed her family forever\, Alice’s relentless search for the facts reveals a more complicated truth. With big humor and bittersweet wit\, this “luminous new musical…lush\, poetic and surprisingly funny” (The San Diego Union-Tribune) explores how we move through and live with loss. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/season/2122-Season/Life-After/Life-After-Accessibility/

SUMMARY:Where We Belong
DESCRIPTION:Goodman Theatre Presents the Woolly Mammoth Production of Where We Belong\nIn Association with the Folger Shakespeare Library \nAn indigenous theatre-maker journeys across geographic borders\, personal history\, and cultural legacies; in search of a place to belong. \nIn 2015\, Mohegan theatre-maker Madeline Sayet travels to England to pursue a PhD in Shakespeare. Madeline finds a country that refuses to acknowledge its ongoing role in colonialism\, just as the Brexit vote threatens to further disengage the UK from the wider world. In this intimate and exhilarating solo piece\, Madeline echoes a journey to England braved by Native ancestors in the 1700s following treatise betrayals – and forces us to consider what it means to belong in an increasingly globalized world. \nContent Transparency: This production contains flashing lights\, depictions of racism\, and discussions of borders\, war\, loss of language\, residential schools\, colonial theft of human remains and repatriation. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/Belong

As she puzzles out the events of the day that changed her family forever\, Alice’s relentless search for the facts reveals a more complicated truth.

SUMMARY:CHOIR BOY at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:Pharus Young is now a senior at the Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys\, an institution committed to building “strong\, ethical black men\,” where he endeavors to be the best leader of the school’s prestigious choir in its 50-year history. But in a world built on rites and rituals\, should he conform to the expectations of his peers in order to gain the respect he desperately seeks? \nWritten by Oscar-winning ensemble member Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight)\, this Tony-nominated play—threaded throughout with soul-stirring a cappella gospel hymns—is the story of a young gay black man and his battle between identity and community. Choir Boy is an elegy to quiet rebellion\, filled with the sound of longing and aspiration. It is a love song in pianissimo to the unseen heart that beats inside us all. \nhttps://www.steppenwolf.org/tickets–events/seasons/2021-22/choir-boy/

SUMMARY:BoHo Theatre Presents: REMOTE
DESCRIPTION:Devised & Directed by BoHo Artistic Associate Ruben Carrazana\nFeaturing Maria Clara Ospina\, Gardy Gilbert\, & Joe Zarrow\nPerformances at The Edge Off-Broadway\, 1133 West Catalpa Ave \nA lot has happened since March 2020. How do we connect when we cannot share the same physical space? How do we communicate when we feel like no one is listening? How do we move forward when the world seems to be crumbling all around us? Why do we move forward? \nDuring the pandemic\, we moved\, quit jobs\, fell in and out of love\, learned new skills and discovered new dreams. Amidst the discomfort\, the distancing\, masking\, and learning to live in the unknown\, we found that one way or another\, we changed. \nTo celebrate and share in these stories\, BoHo Theatre is producing REMOTE\, a theatrical experience devised and directed by Ruben Carrazana. Three storytellers will discover one another’s stories live onstage. Each night one ensemble member’s script will be performed\, but the other two ensemble members will have never seen it before.\nEach of the three performances will be completely different\, so join us for three unforgettable theatrical experiences – together again. \nBoHo Theatre is thrilled to offer its first open captioning for the third performance of REMOTE on Sunday\, July 17 matinee at 2pm. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/remote-tickets-346423781857

Amateur astronomer John Putnam encounters an alien spaceship in the desert and becomes the laughingstock of his small town—until the extraterrestrial visitors make their presence known and he must convince the gathering mob that they have come in peace. A clever musical score and creative physical humor puts a new spin on Ray Bradbury’s flying saucer tale\, examining society’s fear of outsiders as it simultaneously embraces the wonder of what lies just beyond the stars. Commissioned and developed by Chicago Shakespeare with Creative Producer Rick Boynton\, the production reignites an artistic partnership with creators Joe Kinosian and Kellen Blair\, following the triumph of their Jeff Award-winning musical\, Murder for Two\, which went on to an acclaimed New York run. \nBook online with promo code “ACCESS” or call 312.595.5600 during regular Box Office hours (Tuesday–Sunday\, noon to 5:00 p.m.).
