What sparked joy for me yesterday: - Turned up for the women of Jaja’s African Hair Braiding at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. I really didnt know how much I’ve missed stage plays & musicals till I sat in my usual spot. More of this in 2025, Bodashee.

Underneath the laughs, this lively comedy is a portrait of African immigrants striving to make it in America. A local stop at Chicago Shakespeare Theater began this week. trib.al/UtRGUlh

In my latest feature for Chicago Shakespeare, I join Michael Shayan as he sings, dances, and jokes his way through his maman’s journey in AVAAZ. The was a joy to write and the show is shaping up to be so special. chicagoreader.com/performing-art…

It is with deep sadness that we mourn the loss of Rich Hein. For 20+ years, his work has captured the ephemeral magic of our productions & programs. Long after our shows close, it is Rich's images that live on. He'll be supremely missed. chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/202…

Today, our panthers had the opportunity to visit the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, where they watched a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

DePaul Prep sophomores took their learning beyond the classroom this week! 🎭 Our English 2 CP students attended a performance of "A Raisin in the Sun" Court Theatre, while our English 2 Honors students were enchanted by "Midsummer Night's Dream" Chicago Shakespeare.

We had so much fun seeing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at Chicago Shakespeare today! What a funny and brilliant production to kick off our unit on England's Golden Age and the play itself. 💕 "What fools these mortals be!" Thanks to the families for making it happen.

Chicago Shakespeare Theater hosts the North American debut of a production that has been celebrated worldwide. trib.al/uwsunGD
