A Red Orchid Theatre concludes its 33rd season with the world premiere of The Targeted, a tragicomedy written by Hanna Kime and directed by Grace Dolezal-Ng. The play takes place at a gathering called the Solidarity and Truth Summit, where a group of self-described Targeted Individuals — people who believe they are victims of covert surveillance and harassment by global intergovernmental powers — spend a weekend in the woods strategizing against the deep state while trying to hold onto their humanity. The cast features ensemble members Kirsten Fitzgerald, Lawrence Grimm, Sadieh Rifai, and Natalie West, alongside Glenn Obrero and Stephanie Shum. The production runs May 7 through June 14, 2026, at The Chopin Theatre Mainstage in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood.
