SUMMARY:Trouble in Mind at Timeline Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A cutting yet humorous behind-the-curtain drama that examines pervasive racial dynamics within the American theatre and the tolls of superficial representation on stage. \nACCLAIMED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES as “a rich\, unsettling play that lives up to its title [and] lingers in one’s memory long after its conclusion.” \nAt a Broadway theater in New York City in the mid-1950s\, a group of actors has gathered for their first day rehearsing a new play called Chaos in Belleville\, an anti-lynching Southern drama. But as the cast rehearses\, tensions flare between Wiletta\, the Black actress in the starring role\, and her white director about his interpretation of the play. What emerges is an explosive investigation of interracial politics and the need for a cultural shift in theatre and America. \nWritten by Alice Childress—the first Black woman to have a play professionally produced in New York City—Trouble in Mind recently enjoyed an acclaimed Broadway production nominated for four 2022 Tony Awards\, including Best Revival of a Play. The critics raved that this “masterpiece of astonishing power” (New York Magazine) is “the play of the moment” (The New York Times) and “will take your breath away” (Associated Press). \nby Alice Childress\ndirected by Ron OJ Parson \nOpen Captioning available. \nTrouble in Mind

SUMMARY:Trouble in Mind at Timeline Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A cutting yet humorous behind-the-curtain drama that examines pervasive racial dynamics within the American theatre and the tolls of superficial representation on stage.\nACCLAIMED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES as “a rich\, unsettling play that lives up to its title [and] lingers in one’s memory long after its conclusion.” \nAt a Broadway theater in New York City in the mid-1950s\, a group of actors has gathered for their first day rehearsing a new play called Chaos in Belleville\, an anti-lynching Southern drama. But as the cast rehearses\, tensions flare between Wiletta\, the Black actress in the starring role\, and her white director about his interpretation of the play. What emerges is an explosive investigation of interracial politics and the need for a cultural shift in theatre and America. \nWritten by Alice Childress—the first Black woman to have a play professionally produced in New York City—Trouble in Mind recently enjoyed an acclaimed Broadway production nominated for four 2022 Tony Awards\, including Best Revival of a Play. The critics raved that this “masterpiece of astonishing power” (New York Magazine) is “the play of the moment” (The New York Times) and “will take your breath away” (Associated Press). \n— \nThis performance of Trouble in Mind. will be audio described\, featuring narration about visual elements of the production around the dialogue. Audio Description can be accessed by patrons via a headset loaned out from the Box Office before the show. \nIf you have any questions or would like to request any specific accommodations\, please contact the Box Office at BoxOffice@TimeLineTheatre.com or (773) 281-8463 extension 6. \nFull price tickets begin at $47 (including fees). To access a $27 ticket\, please use code AUDIO22 at check-out or call the Box Office. \nTrouble in Mind \n \n

SUMMARY:Albert Herring with Chicago Opera Theater at Athenaeum Center for Thought and Culture
DESCRIPTION:Chicago Opera Theater (COT) kicks off their 50th year with Albert Herring by Benjamin Britten and a libretto by Eric Crozier. \nThe ~Vibe~ – Finding oneself\, indie film comedy\, breaking societal expectations \nThis comedic coming-of-age story celebrates COT’s rich history of presenting Britten works including the Chicago premiere of this piece in 1979. Coming back to Chicago after 33 years\, this new production will be conducted by the world-renowned Dame Jane Glover and staged by leading musical theatre director Stephen Sposito. \nEnvisioned by Sposito as an indie film in the vein of Wes Anderson and the Coen Brothers\, we invite you to the town of Loxford\, England where none of the young ladies live up to Lady Billows’ inscrutable moral standards to be crowned May Queen. In a strange twist\, it turns out the grocer’s son\, Albert Herring\, fits the bill and a May King is crowned instead! After being mocked by his friends for receiving the honor\, Albert takes his first steps into independence by embarking on a night of debauchery. \nSung in English with English subtitles. \nAn interactive touch tour will begin at 1 PM on the stage \nCOT will no longer require patrons attending performances to provide proof of full vaccination. Masks are no longer required for audience members to wear\, but we strongly recommend your use of masks throughout the theater. \nCaptions and Touch Tour \nhttps://chicagooperatheater.org/season/herring
