Theater in Chicago




« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Join us for an engaging exploration of theater at some of Chicago’s best venues. We’ll attend seven productions presented at a variety of theaters, such as Steppenwolf, Goodman, and TimeLine.  For each play, we’ll devote two sessions: one to discuss the script before seeing the production, and a second after viewing the play comparing the written work with the staged version. Discussion topics will include themes, characters, acting style, direction, and interpretation. Participants will volunteer to lead discussions. Coordinators will purchase tickets for members who wish to attend performances as a group. Members may also invite a guest to join them. Participants are responsible for ticket costs (estimated total $200–$300 per/person for the 14-week session) and for obtaining the scripts. Transportation is self-arranged, though carpools can be organized as needed. We often gather for an optional dinner before performances to share conversation and community.
