SUMMARY:The Lehman Trilogy with TimeLine Theatre Company at Broadway Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:TimeLine presents the Chicago premiere production of the 2022 Tony Award winner for Best Play! \nTold in three parts over one evening\, The Lehman Trilogy is the quintessential story of western capitalism\, rendered through the lens of a single immigrant family. On a cold September morning in 1844\, a young Jewish man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life in the new world. He is soon joined by his two brothers\, and an American epic begins. 163 years later\, the firm they establish—Lehman Brothers—spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy\, triggering the largest financial crisis in history. Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history\, this theatrical event charts the humble beginnings\, outrageous successes\, and devastating failure of the financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees. \nThroughout its production history\, The Lehman Trilogy has been met with extraordinary international acclaim. The Guardian proclaimed the original production “a kaleidoscopic social and political metaphor” and “an intimate epic about the shifting definition of the American Dream.” The Chicago Tribune praised it as “a masterwork” and The New York Times as “a vivid tale of profit and pain.” Vanity Fair raved that it is “true blockbuster theatre that will hold you captive until the final curtain call\,” with Time Out New York saying “it leaves you dazzled.” And the Wall Street Journal declared that The Lehman Trilogy “surpasses all praise.” \nSingle tickets to The Lehman Trilogy are only available through Broadway In Chicago. Please visit their website to purchase. \nFor more information on access programming at Broadway in Chicago visit https://www.broadwayinchicago.com/tickets/accessible-information/ \nAccessibility: open captions \nhttps://www.broadwayinchicago.com/show/the-lehman-trilogy/

SUMMARY:The Rise and Fall of Little Voice
DESCRIPTION:Blown fuses\, real and metaphorical\, punctuate the action with flashes of pent up energy in this acclaimed play. The diminutive heroine frequently plunges the dilapidated house she shares with her alcoholic mother into darkness by playing her dead father’s records at a volume matched only by the soulful power of her vocal impressions. Little Voice has a hidden talent: she can emulate every chanteuse from Judy Garland to Edith Piaf. She hides in her room\, crooning and dreaming of love\, while her disheveled mother mistakes a seedy agent’s interest as affection rather than enthusiasm for the gold mine buried in her daughter’s throat. This is an engaging fairy tale of despair\, love and finally hope as LV finds a voice of her own. \nThis is a sensory-friendly performance. \nAll gender\, accessible restrooms are available on site.
