Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) presents the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC)'s Pericles, direct from a "triumphant" (The Telegraph) run at the company's home in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK. One of the world's preeminent theater companies, the RSC returns to Chicago for the first time in 30 years as part of a new, ongoing partnership with CST.

Tamara Harvey directs this major new production of Shakespeare's moving tale in her and Daniel Evans' first season as the RSC's co‑artistic directors. The Guardian raved about the UK premiere, "Pericles could not have been done better." This exclusive engagement runs October 20–December 7 in the Courtyard Theater, marking CST's 100th international production bringing the world's great artists to Chicago.

When Prince Pericles solves a riddle set by the neighboring King, he knows the answer could get him killed. Fleeing for safety, he finds himself swept away on an epic voyage that will see him battle princes, marry his true love, and become a father. But this is also a journey of storms and shipwrecks, abduction and devastating loss. Adrift in an ocean of grief, will Pericles ever see his family again?

"It is a huge pleasure to be bringing the Royal Shakespeare Company back to Chicago for the first time in 30 years with this most timely and beautiful production of Pericles," said CST's artistic director Edward Hall. "The inaugural production as co‑artistic director from Tamara Harvey is a rare opportunity for audiences to immerse themselves in this thought-provoking and wise story brought to life by an exceptionally talented company. This marks the beginning of a partnership between the RSC and CST in an expression of the shared passion for Shakespeare long held by us, Tamara Harvey, and Daniel Evans."

Harvey shared, "As I stepped with excitement and trepidation into the rehearsal room to create this, my RSC debut, I wouldn't have dared hope that the experience could be so joyful and creatively exhilarating. This company of actors is extraordinary, and we are thrilled to welcome Zach Wyatt as Pericles for the next leg of our journey together, whose professional debut—a very Pericles-like note of connection and reunion—was with Ed Hall when he was artistic director of Hampstead Theatre in London."

She continued, "Sharing this lesser-known Shakespeare with audiences in Stratford‑upon‑Avon has confirmed our belief that Pericles' perennial relevance is compelling, with its examination of leadership, endurance, loss, and hope. We can't wait to share this beautiful play with Chicago Shakespeare Theater's audiences as together we start to write the next chapter in the centuries-old story of collaboration between our two nations."

Zach Wyatt leads the cast of the Chicago engagement in the title role of Prince Pericles. Wyatt has been seen onstage in the West End production of A Little Life, Bartholomew Fair and The Merry Wives of Windsor at The Globe, Wild East at the Young Vic, and I And You at Hampstead Theatre. His television and film credits include The Witcher: Blood Origin, Timestalker, and Blithe Spirit.

The production has received overwhelming acclaim since its debut. The New York Times said, "this revival, filled with deft flourishes by director Michael Arden, recalls an era of big casts, big stories, and big talent – a time when musicals actually felt like events." Entertainment Weekly called Parade "the most gorgeous production on Broadway."  Deadline proclaimed that Parade is "a work of art! As commanding as any musical revival to hit Broadway in years." Time Out New York stated that "Parade will echo for a long time to come. See it before the parade passes by."

Leo and Lucille Frank are a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in the old red hills of Georgia. When Leo is accused of an unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice, and devotion. Riveting and gloriously hopeful, PARADE reminds us that to love, we must truly see one another.

PARADE played its final performance of its strictly limited Broadway engagement on Sunday, August 6, 2023. This production first premiered at New York City Center where it was instantly sold out, playing November 1-6, 2022.

Kokandy Productions is pleased to conclude its 2024 season with an immersive production of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's classic Into The Woods, the first Chicago storefront production of the beloved musical in over a decade. Directed and choreographed by Producing Artistic Director Derek Van Barham with music direction by Nick Sula, Into The Woods will play October 10 – December 22, 2024 at The Chopin Studio Theatre, 1543 W. Division St. in Chicago. Tickets are now on sale at kokandyproductions.com. 

Journeying Into The Woods are Kevin Webb and Sonia Goldberg as The Baker and The Baker's Wife, Stephanie Stockstill as The Witch, Madison Kauffman as Cinderella, Kevin Parra as Jack and Anna Seibert as Little Red. Pulling double (or more) duty are August Forman as Narrator/Mysterious Man, Shea Hopkins as Cinderella's Prince/Wolf, Makenzy Jenkins as Rapunzel's Prince/Steward, Ismael Garcia as Rapunzel/Florinda, Britain Gebhardt as Jack's Mother/Lucinda and Emily Goldberg as Cinderella's Stepmother/Mother. The company of players is completed by swings Gabby Koziol, Jackson Mikkelsen, Halli Morgan, Michael Penick, Julie Peterson, Elizabeth Rentfro and Evan B Smith.

Escape into a fantastical fairytale adventure where wishes come true, but not always for free. A trove of storybook characters' paths intertwine as they chase their deepest desires through an enchanted forest. However, once they receive their happily ever after, the unintended consequences of granted wishes unravel their worlds.

Weaving a euphoric score including the songs "Giants in the Sky," "On the Steps of the Palace," "No One Is Alone" and "Children Will Listen" with a darkly humorous book, Into the Woods is a sophisticated musical twist on beloved childhood fables.

"What will we find when we wander into these woods?" asks director and choreographer Derek Van Barham. "A company of players, a beloved musical and a little magic. Our hope is that by re-orchestrating for 2 pianos and a cast of 12 (half of them doubling) we can focus on the intimate and immersive nature of the show, capturing the desperate need to be seen, to be remembered and to gather together to share (and receive) a good story."

Music Director Nick Sula adds, "Many of the characters in this musical are introduced in pairs - The Baker and The Baker's Wife, Jack and Little Red, the two Stepsisters, the two Princes - so it felt natural to include the music, the musicians and the instruments themselves as a mirror of that. Our team of three pianist/orchestrators collaborated to create a unique sound with a two-piano, four-(or more!)-hand approach that features a duo of acoustic grand pianos. We are delighted to share the full depth and breadth of Stephen Sondheim's music with our audiences in this hauntingly majestic and intimate re-imagination." 

The production team includes G "Max" Maxin IV, (Scenic Design and Lighting Design), Rachel Sypniewski (Costume Design), Matt Reich (Sound Design), Mike Patrick (Sound Consultant), Jakob Abderhalden (Properties Design), Chels Morgan (Intimacy Choreographer), Syd Genco (Makeup Design), Keith Ryan (Wig Design), Ariana Miles and Evelyn Ryan (Orchestrators), Nicholas Reinhart (Production Manager), Shane Roberie (Casting Associate), Lynsy Folckomer (Sound Engineer), Ryan Stajmiger (Assistant Director), Kendyl Meyer (Stage Manager), Ethan Colish (Assistant Stage Manager).

Producer and Director Jonathan James and The Home Creative  Co. are proud to announce the opening of THE OUTSIDERS, the immersive and thrilling adaptation of the classic story. The production will run from September 13 through October 13 at the Athenaeum Center in Chicago. Tickets are on sale now at https://athenaeumcenter.org/events/2024/the outsiders/.

You've read the book, you've seen the film, now immerse yourself in the world of THE OUTSIDERS like never before! The Home Creative Co. invites you to go back in time to Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 1960s for this coming-of-age story told by fourteen-year-old Ponyboy Curtis. The youngest of the Greasers, Ponyboy struggles to find his place amongst his fellow outcasts. On the other side of town, the Socs seem to have it made. They jump Greasers for kicks to pass the time of their privileged lives. Cherry, a Soc, shares a connection with Ponyboy due to his sensitive nature and love of poetry, a connection that her boyfriend, Bob, will not accept. What ensues is a gut-wrenching story of love and loss that comes to a head with the unforgettable line, "Stay gold, Ponyboy."

Reimagined for an intimate, immersive theater experience, Ponyboy, Johnny, and their gang of  socially outcast Greasers come to life in this heartfelt production of THE OUTSIDERS!

Staying gold means not letting the hardships of the world tarnish your spirit. It means finding the child-like wonder and awe for the world that is inside all of us. It is seeing the beauty in the little things in life, so that no matter how dark the times may be, we can still appreciate the beauty of a sunrise or sunset.

Hell in a Handbag Productions is pleased to conclude its 22^nd season with the world premiere of The Golden Girls Meet The Skooby Don't Gang: The Mystery of The Haunted Bush, bringing together two beloved Handbag parodies in one chilling Halloween tale. The girls – Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, Sophia (and their whacky friends) – enlist the help of America's favorite 30-something teenage detectives to help solve a mystery in this all new episode written by Artistic Director David Cerda and directed by Frankie Leo Bennett. The Mystery of The Haunted Bush plays October 10 - November 3, 2024 on The Chopin Theatre Mainstage, 1543 W. Division St. in Chicago. Tickets are now on sale at handbagproductions.org or bit.ly/hauntedbush. 

Rose's (Ed Jones*) nephew Fred (Tyler Anthony Smith*) is coming for a visit with his amateur sleuth friends, Daffy (Liz Lesinski*), Velva (Caitlin Jackson*), Skaggy (Josh Kemper) and their dog Skooby (Ben Meneses). While Rose is excited, she's also hiding the real motive for inviting them: she's being haunted by a big, scary bush – or is it a tree? There's seems to be some confusion about that.

Meanwhile, the Skooby gang is in awe of their idol and Sophia's (Ryan Oates*) best friend, Nancy Drew (Danne W. Taylor*), particularly Skaggy, who takes things a step further. Can the gang help the girls solve the mystery of the haunted bush before it devours Rose? Will Velva and Daffy reveal their special secret? Will Dorothy (David Cerda*), Blanche (Grant Drager*) and Sophia survive the spooky hijinks?

Join Miami's favorite roomies in a spine chillingly ridiculous tale, that combines Handbag's signature biting humor with a heart.

BrightSide Theatre will open its 13^th season in October, with a play especially appropriate for the Halloween season. Naperville's only professional theater company will present Steven Dietz's adaptation of DRACULA - Bram Stoker's novel of the legendary vampire of Transylvania. Veteran director and actor Jay Fontanetta will direct this eternally popular thriller, which will feature an original musical score by Paul Scherer. DRACULA will take audiences to the eerie landscapes of Transylvania and the shadowy corners of Victorian England on a spine-tingling journey filled with suspense, passion, and terror as Dracula is pursued by a group of courageous souls determined to stop him. DRACULA will be performed in the Theatre at Meiley-Swallow Hall of North Central University from October 18 through November 3 and is rated PG-13 for adult themes and depictions of violence. 

Fontanetta's cast will feature Danny Parrott of Arlington Heights as Count Dracula. Parrott has played such threatening characters as the murderous Sweeney Todd and HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE's Uncle Peck. Mike Boyna of Bloomingdale, whose credits include such leading roles as Atticus Finch in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and Salieri in AMADEUS, will be Dracula's nemesis Van Helsing. Veteran Chicago actor and three-time Jeff Award winner for directing Greg Kolack from Elmhurst will be the production's Renfield, a man showing signs of psychosis. The psychologist Seward, who is trying to diagnose Renfield's strange behavior, will be played by Adam Bozcar of Carpentersville. Seward's love interest, Lucy, who falls prey to Dracula, will be Julia Hope Budd, who appeared in BrightSide's JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR earlier this year. Lucy's friend Mina, engaged to Jonathan Harker – the young lawyer who meets Count Dracula in Transylvania - will be played by Caitlin Wolfe. Wolfe's credits include THE DROWSY CHAPERONE for Surging Films and WHEN THERE ARE NINE for PrideArts. Also in the cast are Brady MacNeil of Wheaton (Jonathan Harker), Halle Berghoff of Chicago (Maid), Kyle Drexler of Glen Ellyn (Attendant), Erica Harrington of Westchester (Vixen), Austin Jordan of Aurora (Attendant), Daria Koon of Chicago (Vixen), and Kirstin Palatinus of Wayne (Vixen).

The DRACULA production team includes Cheryl Newman (Costume Design), Kurt Ottinger (Lighting and Sound Design), Jenn Martin (Prop Designer), Roberto Puig (Wig Designer), Claire Yearman (Fight/Intimacy Director), Paul Scherer (Original Music), Jeff Sand (Technical Director/Scenic Designer), and Kristin Ripoli (Stage Manager).
 
Director Fontanetta says, "I'm thrilled to work with BrightSide on this production. Dietz's adaptation is somehow both extremely faithful to the novel but also fantastically theatrical in its presentation. While elements of comedy and drama are present, Bram Stoker intended this to be a horror story. The cast and I are having a lot of fun working to bring the suspense and horror of DRACULA to the Brightside stage."
 
DRACULA will be performed in the Theatre at Meiley-Swallow Hall, North Central College, 31 S. Ellsworth, Naperville. Tickets are $37.00 for adults and $32.00 for students and seniors. Season subscriptions and individual show tickets are on sale now at  www.BrightSidetheatre.com or by phone at 630-447-TIXS (8497).
