#QCHRISTMAS CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE THEATER About CST

Under the leadership of Artistic Director Barbara Gaines and Executive Director Criss Henderson, Chicago Shakespeare has redefined what a great American Shakespeare theater can be—a company that defies theatrical category. This Regional Tony Award-winning theater’s year-round season features as many as twenty productions and 650 performances—including plays, musicals, world premieres, family programming, and presentations from around the globe. The work is enjoyed by 225,000 audience members annually, with one in four under the age of eighteen. Chicago Shakespeare is the city’s leading presenter of international work, and in touring its own productions across five continents has garnered multiple accolades, including the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award. Emblematic of its role as a global theater, the company spearheaded Shakespeare 400 Chicago, celebrating Shakespeare’s legacy in a citywide, yearlong international arts and culture festival, which engaged more than one million people. The Theater’s nationally acclaimed arts in literacy programs support the work of English and drama teachers, and bring Shakespeare to life on stage for tens of thousands of their students each school year. Over the summer, the company tours a professional production of Shakespeare’s work, free for all, to neighborhood parks across the city. In 2017 the Theater unveiled The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare—with its innovative design that has changed the shape of theater architecture. Together with the Jentes Family Courtyard Theater and the Thoma Theater Upstairs, The Yard positions Chicago Shakespeare as the city’s most versatile performing arts center. n

DEAR FRIENDS,

The holidays are here—and with them the return of Q Brothers Christmas Carol, Chicago Shakespeare's hip hop holiday classic. Premiered in 2013 as part of our New Classics Program, it is one of many successful collaborations between the Q Brothers and Chicago Shakespeare’s Creative Producer Rick Boynton. THROUGH DECEMBER 22 BEGINS JANUARY 28 Their artistic partnership has re-mixed both Shakespeare and Dickens, creating acclaimed new work that has toured across the world—from London to Abu Dhabi and Seoul. We are thrilled to share this joyful ad-rap-tation with all of you. During this season of thanksgiving and gratitude, we would be remiss not to thank you. Together over the past year, we have shared a journey through a season of plays and musicals. We mined the timeless lessons in Shakespeare’s tragedies Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet, and were delighted by his audacious comedies A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Comedy of Errors. International productions imported from the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Mexico connected us to artists of the world and their stories. Our family musical and student matinees shared the transformative power of live theater with tens of thousands of students and audience members under the age of eighteen. And our smash hit musical Six had us celebrating the wives of Henry VIII all summer. BEGINS APRIL 15 BEGINS APRIL 30 The party continues in Spring 2020, when this dynamic new work—with its Chicago Shakespeare cast—opens on Broadway. All of this extraordinary artistry, as well as our commitment to serving as a leading partner in literacy for 40,000 Chicago students and their teachers each Get the best seats year, is made possible by YOU.
