Boy My Greatness at Chicago Dramatists

The Village Theater of Chicago is a director-driven collective that harnesses theater as an instrument for cultivating community. The Village Theater closes its second season with BOY MY GREATNESS, a play by Zoe Senese-Grossberg, directed by Emily Newmark.

What happened to the boys who played Shakespeare's women? In the summer of 1606, six boy players warm-up, run lines, gossip, and fall in and out of love all in between rehearsals for the premieres of Antony and Cleopatra and Twelfth Night. As the plague and rising religious conservatism threaten their way of life, they are all forced to reconsider their futures on the stage.

The show will run from November 13 - 23 at Chicago Dramatists. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.crowdwork.com/e/boy-my-greatness
