Rehearsals have begun for Chicago D(ART)'s inaugural production of 'Police Deaf Near Far' by David Rush.
Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble (CDE) concludes its 15th season dedicated to the woman's voice, and its ongoing mission of "performance with a purpose," with Shirley Lauro's A Piece of My Heart, directed by CDE fellow Victoria Alvarez-Chacon, and described by the Association of Vietnam Veterans of America as "the most enduring play on Vietnam in the nation." A Piece of My Heart follows tells the true experiences of six women working in Vietnam during wartime. The powerful accounts of these women - five nurses and one country western singer - take place before, during and after Vietnam, and each story concludes with a personal token left at the memorial wall in Washington.

Nothing is more political than being a woman in 2015. Women's bodies and what they do with them have been the subject in legal battles all the way to the Supreme Court. With the political arena gearing up for what looks to be a wild election year, Stockyards Theatre Project is preparing to poke holes in some ideals and ideas with a new sketch comedy review, 'POLITICAL VAGENDA.'
