SUMMARY:The Bi Wives Club: A Comedy Showcase at Dorothy
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Chicago summer with the Bi Wives Club! We’ve got a stacked lineup of Chicago’s funniest comics! Not bi? No problem. Nobody’s wife? Even better. \nThe Bi Wives Club is a comedy showcase for all outsiders who hide in plain sight. Playful\, intimate\, and hilarious—audiences praise the show’s atmosphere\, community\, and humor. It’s both one of the funniest and most energizing shows in town. \nACCESSIBILITY NOTE: this show will include ASL interpretation! \nJoin us on June 17th as we welcome comics Caitlin Checkeroski\, Luis Arevalo\, Olivia May\, Delilah Orizabah\, Jules Radner\, and the Bi Wives themselves: Kris Lantzy\, Kayla McCaffery & Christen Manville. \nTickets are $12 in advance and $17 at the door. ASL Discount Code: ASLCLUB \nDoors open at 6pm with a one-hour happy hour before the show at 7pm. Dorothy remains open after the event until 11pm.\nDorothy is 21+ and requires physical or mobile ID for entry. Dorothy is ADA accessible with elevator access on Campbell Ave. If you are a guest who requires elevator access\, please wait by the black door on Campbell Ave with the Dorothy logo in the window and call staff to assist at 773-770-3799 \nPlease note: refund requests are only available until 24h before the event. No other refund requests will be honored.\nFollow the Bi Wives Club on Instagram at @theBiWivesClub to see full performer bios and future show announcements. \nABOUT THE COMEDIANS \nCaitlin Checkeroski is a Michigan bumpkin turned Chicago comic and now performs all over the country. She has participated in many prestigious comedy festivals including Altercation Fest\, 10\,000 Laughs and Limestone Comedy Festival. She recently headlined Zanies Chicago. \nDelilah Orizabah is a full-time therapist\, part-time standup\, and an on-call storyteller. You’ve seen her perform at The Future of Comedy Festival\, The Latina Comedy Festival\, Laugh Factory\, Lincoln Lodge\, The Den Theater and The Steppenwolf Theater. She’s a Scorpio sun; Capricorn Moon and Rising. \nJules Radner (she/her) is a sparkling cocktail of disabilities (though tragically not mixed with Malört) who spills on the funny ways able bodied people irk her. Her onstage chemistry is like no other- her stories will make you say “I’m sat”\, while regretting not having popcorn to throw back. She may bubble over\, but you will always have a cheerful time! \nLuis Arevalo is a Chicago comedian who started young and turned his stutter from a weakness to a strength. Once described as the “future voice of Gen Z\,” Luis’s material focuses on being emotionally correct rather than politically correct. He has performed all across the country in clubs and venues like Go Bananas\, Haha Comedy Club\, Laugh Factory\, and has also done comedy festivals such as Beast Village and Floodwater. Luis has opened up for comedians such as René Vacas\, Ken Flores\, Chris Redd\, and Geoff Tate. You can find his special on Lmao Fans (Onlyfans) \nOlivia May is a Chicago comic by way of Charlotte\, NC. She used to work in finance and is now a receptionist and chasing her comedy dreams. \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. Kayla jumps between her too-many roles with ease and throws her whole heart into everything she does. \n  \nAccessibility: ASL Interpretation \nWebsite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-bi-wives-club-a-comedy-showcase-tickets-1989932581920

SUMMARY:Catch as Catch Can - Open Caption Performance at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:CATCH AS CATCH CAN\nWritten by Mia Chung\nDirected by ensemble member Amy Morton\nWhen a prodigal son returns to blue collar New England\, his homecoming sets off a spiraling crisis for two families\, threatening not only their relationships but their very identities. In Mia Chung’s wildly inventive Catch as Catch Can\, three actors take on six roles\, bridging generation and gender\, in a theatrical tour-de-force that upends the kitchen sink drama and asks what happens when we refuse to play the roles we’re prescribed. Spanning hilarity\, stunning virtuosity and outright horror\, this ferocious Chicago premiere—featuring an all-ensemble cast—must be witnessed to be believed. \nCATCH AS CATCH CAN WILL BE PERFORMED IN THE DOWNSTAIRS THEATER.\nShow Runs from June 04 – July 12\, 2026\nOpen Captions will available for the June 25th performance at 7:30pm. \nVisit https://www.steppenwolf.org/plan-your-visit/accessibility/ for more!
