SUMMARY:Autumn Knight: M___ER
DESCRIPTION:Combining improvisation with sculpture\, sound\, and lights\, M___ER taps into the tangled relationships we have with familiar people and things to examine the shifting dynamics of intimacy between audience members’ senses of self\, others\, and objects. The title suggests various interpretations of its missing letters; the performance itself addresses ideas such as “mother\,” “murder\,” and “matter\,” while still leaving room for ambiguity. M___ER is a nonlinear\, scenic examination of entanglements\, from mothers to matter. Investigating relationships that are common to almost everyone\, the performance probes the precarity inherent to physical proximity or emotional closeness. \nUsing her training as an improviser and the inexhaustible possibilities each audience member brings\, Knight’s work regularly puts Black femmes—often herself—in contested and confrontational positions of power. Knight guides her audiences through indeterminate situations that illuminate the relationships at play in performance and in our everyday lives. The controlled chaos of these mysterious group interactions provokes laughter and occasional discomfort\, using irrationality to make meaning out of our contemporary culture. \nhttps://mcachicago.org/calendar/2022/04/m-_-_-_-er

SUMMARY:Good Night\, Oscar
DESCRIPTION:Anything can happen on live TV. And one night\, it did. Emmy Award-winning actor and producer Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) stars as the irrepressible Oscar Levant. \nIt’s 1958\, and Jack Paar hosts the hottest late-night talk-show on television. His favorite guest? Character actor\, pianist and wild card Oscar Levant.

Good Night\, Oscar explores the nexus of humor and heartbreak\, the ever-dwindling distinction between exploitation and entertainment\, and the high cost of baring one’s soul for public consumption. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/Oscar

SUMMARY:KING JAMES at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:“King” LeBron James’s reign in Cleveland brings promise\, prosperity and renewal to a city in desperate need of all three. It also brings together two unlikely friends in a bond forged by fandom. Told over twelve years (from LeBron’s rookie season to an NBA Championship) King James is an intimate exploration of the place that sports occupy in our lives and relationships. Ensemble member Rajiv Joseph’s clever and fast-paced comedy traces the arcs of two friends whose turbulent relationship is best navigated through their shared love of basketball—and the endless amiable arguments that erupt from that love. All the while\, the promise and burden of LeBron’s talent and legacy loom large. \nhttps://www.steppenwolf.org/tickets–events/seasons/2021-22/king-james/

SUMMARY:Together at Last
DESCRIPTION:It’s about damn time. Together at Last is a non-stop celebration of how we have persisted and even thrived during these impossibly difficult times. From laughing at the sheer absurdity of our current reality to cheering for our tiny wins\, nothing is off-limits: family dynamics\, marriage & divorce\, girls’ nights out\, working from home\, and readjusting to society at large. Come laugh at what unites us all in a show that asks the question… is anyone out there going to save us? \nhttps://secondcityus.secure.force.com/ticket/?quantity_a0Q1R00000v7TlMUAU=01&_ga=2.59773743.301484373.1648573487-2120270315.1625782618#/instances/a0F1R00000dtTwXUAU?quantity_a0Q1R00000v7TlMUAU=01
