Chicago's Stage Welcomes Dynamic Performances

Chicago's theater scene is buzzing with anticipation as Katy Sullivan, an acclaimed bilateral above-knee amputee and Paralympic athlete, steps into the title role of Shakespeare's 'Richard III' at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. This bold casting choice by new artistic director Peter Hall marks his debut production, promising a fresh perspective on the classic story of ambition and power. The play, known for its dark humor and profound family drama, runs from February 2 through March 3, with ticket prices starting at $38.

Dance, Music, and Comedy Highlight Chicago's Artistic Diversity

The arts flourish beyond the stage with performances like Complexions Contemporary Ballet's tribute to David Bowie and Christian McBride's 'The Movement Revisited' musical portrait at the Symphony Center. For laughs, comedian Jeff Hiller takes the spotlight, and music icon Madonna graces the United Center with her Celebration Tour.

Cultural Exhibitions and Family Entertainment

The Art Institute of Chicago showcases 'János Megyik Photograms,' and children can explore the imaginative 'Circusville' exhibit at the Chicago Children's Museum. With such a wide array of events across the arts, Chicago offers residents and visitors a chance to indulge in a rich cultural mix for all ages.
