Chicago Shakespeare Theater will welcome artists back to make theater again as dozens of actors, directors, designers, and technicians are busy creating upcoming productions, captured live in the Theater s performance spaces and streaming on-demand for audiences at home via the new Chicago ShakesSTREAM platform. Rehearsals and creative team meetings are underway for the line-up of virtual offerings beginning in March, including the I, Shakespeare series of solo shows I, Banquo and I, Cinna (the poet), a repertory ensemble cast performing both Measure for Measure and Twelfth Night as enhanced audio experiences, and We Are Out There, an imaginative digital prologue to the new musical It Came from Outer Space before the world premiere production next year
Bechdel Fest 8
Broken Nose Theatre presents Bechdel Fest 8: Realign, a festival of short plays featuring femme, female-identifying, nonbinary, transgender and queer actors playing characters who talk about subjects other than men. The festival references the Bechdel-Wallace Test created by cartoonist Alison Bechdel that asks whether an entertainment work features at least two non-male identifying characters in conversation about something other than a man. Many of the immensely talented artists involved in this season s festival have been signed on since last spring, back when we were expecting to host the event in-person during the summer, said Broken Nose artistic director Elise Marie Davis in a prepared statement. The fact that they graciously and enthusiastically stayed onboard as this year s lineup was pushed back, and ultimately pivoted to becoming digital, is enormously exciting to the Broken Nose family and myself.
