SUMMARY:Adirondack Chair Circle : ASL performance at Steppenwolf Theatre
DESCRIPTION:ADIRONDACK CHAIR CIRCLE written by Stephanie Alison Walker\nDirected by Pam Mackinnon \nBanna has it all… Or at least that’s what the other suburban moms think. Beneath the charcuterie boards\, backyard soirees and pickleball\, there’s a funny feeling bubbling underneath this seemingly perfect facade. Is it the pressure to save her children from the beliefs of the school district? Or is it just that suspicious crow watching her every move? A piercing world premiere from a playful Chicago voice\, Stephanie Alison Walker’s Adirondack Chair Circle exposes the hilarious hypocrisy of the clubs we join and the company we keep. And has a damn good time doing it. \n$25 tickets available for those using the service!\nVisit https://www.steppenwolf.org/whats-on/accessible-performances for more! \n  \nAccessibility: ASL Interpretation \nWebsite: https://www.steppenwolf.org/events/adirondack-chair-circle-2
