We had so much fun seeing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at @chicagoshakes 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.

Buoyed by its Broadway success, the play — a day-in-the-life tale of a Harlem beauty salon in New York — set off on a national tour. A local stop at Chicago Shakespeare Theater opens this week and runs through Feb. 2. https://t.co/ng0Vt0EpBn

Review: ‘Avaaz’ is a laugh-out-loud funny primer on Iran at Chicago Shakespeare https://t.co/3V643ggzlQ

[dramaturgically it tracks @YasminZacaria]

In my latest feature for @chicagoshakes, I join @michaelshayan as he sings, dances, and jokes his way through his maman’s journey in AVAAZ.

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. https://t.co/XLRqiIyKJp

[Chicago Sun-Times @Suntimes]

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. https://t.co/Xc9v31DFZ7

[Bodashee @Bodasheeee]

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.

[Navy Pier @NavyPier]

🎭NEW SHOW ALERT! “JaJa’s African Hair Braiding” makes its regional premiere tonight at @ChicagoShakes! Pull up a chair with Marie, Bea, Miriam, Aminata, and Ndidi as love blossoms, dreams flourish, and secrets are revealed now - Feb 2. https://t.co/qGY0j7alOX

[Chicago Shakespeare @chicagoshakes]
