‘The Humanities’ has too much going on (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world premiere of Zayd Ayers Dohrn's âThe Humanitiesâ at Victory Gardens Theater, directed by interim artistic director Edward Torres, purports to be about what happens when a controversial speaker is invited to lecture at an elite American university. But there's so much going on that it's hard to understand the point or figure out the point of view. Ayers Dohrn tackles the growing opposition to the Charlie Kirk-like right-wing speaker, invited by his former teacher, and the fallout dur
Theater preview: Fall 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Court Theatre's 2026-2027 season doesn't start until December, but in the meantime, enough shows are opening in September alone to keep you out at the theater almost every night. Besides local, national and world premieres, you can enjoy remounts of recent hits you might be sorry you missed, among them the father-daughter âBirds of North Americaâ at A Red Orchid Theatre and Kokandy Productionsâ âJekyll & Hyde,â this time at the Broadway Playhouse in a co-production with Broadway in Chi

Read excerpt
Enduring the 90 minutes of the Chicago debut of Tim Venable's âAdolescent Salvationâ at Theater Wit reminded me how nice it is not to be a teenager, especially in this age of cell phones and social media. It's not that the play, which had its world premiere last year at Los Angeles' Rogue Machine Theatre, isn't getting a good production here.

That's the question playwright Matthew Libby says fascinates him in a Q&A in the digital program for Writers Theatre's absorbing production of his âSistersâ in the intimate Gillian Theatre. He explores this question and its corollaries by stripping away the outward trappings of tech and forcing the audience to focus on essentials. The setup is simple: To ameliorate his daughter Matilda's (Brenda Barrie) loss and loneliness
‘Marble’ looks at dissolving marriages (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Marina Carr's âMarbleâ begins with a dream and ends as a waking nightmare. In between, the Irish playwright's impassioned, thoughtful, wryly funny play charts the disintegration of the marriages of two middle-aged urban couples of comfortable means. First produced at Dublin's Abbey Theatre in 2009, âMarbleâ is enjoying an arguably overdue Chicago premiere by The Gift Theatre in an upstairs room grandly called âKing's Hallâ at the Copernicus Center. It is part of the company's 25th an
