SUMMARY:The Factotum - Audio Description & American Sign Language
DESCRIPTION:A new work inspired by Rossini’s The Barber of Seville that has grown into an original piece all its own\, commissioned by Lyric. Updating the action to a Black barbershop on Chicago’s South Side\, the creators have made an irresistibly upbeat work that celebrates the strength of community. The Factotum blends diverse musical styles with boundless imagination to create a soul opera\, moving from gospel and funk to rap\, hip-hop\, classic barbershop quartet\, and R&B. Those styles connect brilliantly with classical singing in a very human comedy that redefines everything that opera can be. \nThis event includes ASL interpretation and audio description. \nhttps://www.lyricopera.org/shows/upcoming/2022-23/the-factotum/ \n

SUMMARY:Latinx Poetics Anthology Launch Celebration at The Poetry Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a celebration of University of New Mexico Press’s landmark anthology Latinx Poetics: Essays on the Art of Poetry\, featuring editor Ruben Quesada and poetry readings from ten contributors. This is a hybrid event\, which will be offered in-person and via livestream. \nLatinx Poetics: Essays on the Art of Poetry collects personal and academic writing from Latino\, Latin American\, Latinx\, and Luso poets about the nature of poetry and its practice. At the heart of this anthology lies the intersection of history\, language\, and the human experience. The collection explores the ways in which a people’s history and language are vital to the development of a poet’s imagination and insists that the meaning and value of poetry are necessary to understand the history and future of a people. The Latinx community is not a monolith\, and accordingly the poets assembled here vary in style\, language\, and nationality. The essays not only expand the poetic landscape but extend Latinx and Latin American linguistic and geographical boundaries. \nRuben Quesada is a poet\, translator\, and editor. He is the author of Revelations and Next Extinct Mammal and the translator of a collection of selected poems by Luis Cernuda titled Exiled from the Throne of Night. He has served as an editor and coordinator for The Rumpus\, Kenyon Review\, AGNI\, Pleiades\, and the National Book Critics Circle board. He lives in Chicago\, Illinois. \nDaniel Borzutzky is a poet and translator who lives in Chicago; his most recent book is Written after a Massacre in the Year 2018. Borzutzky’s 2016 collection\, The Performance of Becoming Human won a National Book Award in Poetry.

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

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).
