CABARET: Post your review
April 15 - May 23
Storefront Theater
Known for sexy, witty, and politically-charged numbers, Cabaret is also a backdrop for one of the darkest moments in world history. Set in Weimar Berlin just prior to Nazi rule, the play highlights the impact of global conflicts on the lives of everyday people. The Hypocrites, with guest director Matt Hawkins, circumvent the sometimes indulgent tradition of musicals, staging a more intimate production and depicting people in crisis struggling with the moments that define them.

DOCTOR’S DILEMMA: Post your review
April 17 - May 10
Studio Theater
ShawChicago returns to the Studio Theater with a staged reading of Bernard Shaw’s tale of Doctor Colenso Ridgeon. The newly knighted doctor has discovered a cure for tuberculosis but has only one slot left for the clinical trial. Should he choose a kindly medical colleague who ministers to the poor or a callous, amoral, but potentially great artist? And will his love for the artist’s wife interfere with his decision? A fascinating tug-of-war between art and science…and love, as only Shaw could tell it.
