SUMMARY:RECONNECT
DESCRIPTION:After a nearly 3-year hiatus due to COVID-19\, the A.B.L.E. ensemble is producing their first ever full-day festival in partnership with Chicago Shakespeare Theater. RECONNECT will feature the work of 58 members of the A.B.L.E. community – 33 performers with disabilities\, 17 volunteer facilitators\, and 8 Teaching Artists. \nOver the course of a 10 week rehearsal process\, each of A.B.L.E.’s 3 ensembles have collaborated to develop original monologues\, scenes\, movement pieces\, and songs inspired by their own lives and experiences with connection. Pieces range from touching letters to loved ones we’ve lost\, to celebrations of our closest friends\, to humorous dream dates\, to meditations on the good and bad of social media\, as well as poignant reflections on the fears and miscommunications that get in the way of true connection. They are sharing their work in two distinctive multimedia shows\, blending live performances with filmed content from A.B.L.E.’s virtual ensemble. \nBetween the shows\, the public is invited to participate in an interactive workshop with A.B.L.E.’s Creative Associates and Teaching Artists to experience how A.B.L.E. brings their ideas to the stage. \nYou can buy a ticket for one\, two\, or all three events. How do you want to RECONNECT? \nEvent Details:\nSaturday November 19\, 2022\nUpstairs at Chicago Shakespeare Theater\n800 East Grand Avenue\nChicago IL 60611 \nEvent Schedule:\n11am: Performance by the Sunday ensemble with members of the Virtual Ensemble\n2pm: Public Workshop\n7pm: Performance by the Monday ensemble with members of the Virtual Ensemble \nTickets:\nAll tickets are pay-what-you-can general admission starting at $15\nOnline: ableensemble.com/reconnect\nPhone: 312.595.5600\nIn person: at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater box office \nAccess: All 3 events are live captioned\, and the 11am and 7pm performances will be ASL interpreted. \nCOVID Policies: To ensure A.B.L.E.’s immunocompromised performers and community members feel safe and welcome\, all audience members must remain masked for the duration of their time in the theater complex.
