SUMMARY:Autumn Knight: M___ER
DESCRIPTION:Combining improvisation with sculpture\, sound\, and lights\, M___ER taps into the tangled relationships we have with familiar people and things to examine the shifting dynamics of intimacy between audience members’ senses of self\, others\, and objects. The title suggests various interpretations of its missing letters; the performance itself addresses ideas such as “mother\,” “murder\,” and “matter\,” while still leaving room for ambiguity. M___ER is a nonlinear\, scenic examination of entanglements\, from mothers to matter. Investigating relationships that are common to almost everyone\, the performance probes the precarity inherent to physical proximity or emotional closeness. \nUsing her training as an improviser and the inexhaustible possibilities each audience member brings\, Knight’s work regularly puts Black femmes—often herself—in contested and confrontational positions of power. Knight guides her audiences through indeterminate situations that illuminate the relationships at play in performance and in our everyday lives. The controlled chaos of these mysterious group interactions provokes laughter and occasional discomfort\, using irrationality to make meaning out of our contemporary culture. \nhttps://mcachicago.org/calendar/2022/04/m-_-_-_-er

SUMMARY:Goodnight\, Oscar
DESCRIPTION:Anything can happen on live TV. And one night\, it did. Emmy Award-winning actor and producer Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) stars as the irrepressible Oscar Levant. \nIt’s 1958\, and Jack Paar hosts the hottest late-night talk-show on television. His favorite guest? Character actor\, pianist and wild card Oscar Levant. Famous for his witty one-liners\, Oscar has a favorite: “There’s a fine line between genius and insanity; I have erased this line.” Tonight\, Oscar will prove just that when he appears live on national TV in an episode that Paar’s audience—and the rest of America—won’t soon forget. Good Night\, Oscar explores the nexus of humor and heartbreak\, the ever-dwindling distinction between exploitation and entertainment\, and the high cost of baring one’s soul for public consumption. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/Oscar
