Chicago Shakespeare Theatre Presents Virtual Prologue to Upcoming In-Person Musical

Chicago Shakespeare Theatre Presents Virtual Prologue to Upcoming In-Person Musical

The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, join WDCB’s Gary Zidek to discuss Chicago Shakespeare Theatre’s new virtual offering, WE ARE OUT THERE.

LISTEN

It feels a bit like a transitional period right now for theater companies, where many are making plans to welcome in-person audiences back in the not too distant future, but are still releasing virtual productions as they figure things out. Chicago Shakespeare Theatre is presenting a virtual offering titled WE ARE OUT THERE that’s a prologue of sorts to a future in-person musical. IT CAME FROM OUTERSPACE, that’s set to open in early 2022.
