Goodman Theatre on Wednesday announced it will return to live, in-person performances beginning July 30 with the Chicago premiere of Jocelyn Bioh’s “School Girls: Or, The African Mean Girls Play,” a production that was suspended in 2020 due to the pandemic shutdown of theaters. The production runs July 30-Aug. 29 in the Albert Theatre.
“This, truly, is the moment we’ve been waiting for — at once a ‘homecoming’ and a new beginning — after one of the most challenging periods of our collective experience. We are enormously grateful to our audiences, with special thanks to all who’ve joined us virtually as a sponsor or spectator ... and thrilled to welcome you back now,” said artistic director Robert Falls in a statement.
