SUMMARY:Miss Julie at Court Theatre
DESCRIPTION:August Strindberg’s Miss Julie is a confrontation of class\, gender\, and desire at the turn of the twentieth century that’s as relevant today as when it was first written. \nMiss Julie wants to abandon her upper-class\, aristocratic life and escape the expectations that trap her. Jean\, her servant\, wants to climb the social ladder and rise through the ranks of society. Over the course of a wine-soaked evening\, the two jockey for position\, using sex\, status\, and strategy to collide and combust. \nAssociate Artistic Director Gabrielle Randle-Bent (A Raisin in the Sun) directs one of Strindberg’s most celebrated works\, interrogating the limitations of politics and position\, and the tension between who we are and who we want to be. \nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, March 1 at 2:00 pm \nAccessibility: Open Captioning \nWebsite: https://www.courttheatre.org/season-tickets/2025-2026-season/miss-julie/

SUMMARY:Hubbard Street Dance Chicago - Winter Series at Harris Theater
DESCRIPTION:Hubbard Street returns to our Chicago home at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance to present a thrilling Winter Series program of works that probe the depths of human experience\, choreographed by some of the most prolific voices in contemporary dance. \nLike “an exuberant burst of fresh air” (The Boston Globe)\, Amy Hall Garner’s effervescent full company piece ‘As the Wind Blows’ (2022) returns to Chicago on the heels of Garner’s recent New York City Ballet and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater commissions. New to the repertoire\, the high-energy ‘Touch & Agree’ by Juel D. Lane explores the nuances of modern relationships over a soundtrack featuring Sam Cooke\, James Blake\, H.E.R.\, and Byrell the Great. The sweeping ‘Gnawa’ by Nacho Duato closes the program\, a beloved full company work originally created for Hubbard Street in 2005 that Dance Magazine called an “almost religious experience.” \nThe Sunday\, March 1\, 2pm matinee performance of Winter Series includes the following accessibility services:\n– American Sign Language interpretation (Interpreter located Stage Right/House Left)\n– Audio Description \nUse promo code ACCESS for $22 tickets (plus handling fee) in any seat in the house!
