Curious Theatre Branch has announced the 34th annual Rhinoceros Theater Festival, playing June 2 - July 1, 2023 at four venues across Chicago. The month-long festival of shows will kick off with a special concert event on Wednesday, May 31 at Constellation Chicago (3111 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago) headlined by art/folk/cabaret act The Crooked Mouth. The full line-up will be announced shortly.

Following up on a successful outdoor run of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Switchyard Theatre Company continues their inaugural season with the production of The Half-Life of Marie Curie. Written by Lauren Gunderson, “the most produced playwright in the country” according to Variety Magazine, the play brings to life the very human struggle of Madame Curie as she recovers from a nearly career-breaking scandal shortly before winning her second Nobel prize and helping her adopted country in the first World War.

A 30 seat Rogers Park theater is home to Theatre Above the Law. TATL is presenting 4 productions for their 7th season of Theatre. All performances will be held at the Jarvis Square Theater, 1439 W. Jarvis.
