Out Here
Life happens outside of your comfort zone. Out Here is a world-premiere musical, a thrilling collaboration between Court Theatre and the University of Chicago, and an intimate look at a family reconfiguring itself and rediscovering joy.
Dawn has a house, a husband, and a family, but she wants more. She wants her ex-girlfriend, Robin. She wants nothing to change and she wants everything to change, and she wants it all on her own terms. As she’s caught between what’s been and what’s next, Dawn must learn to abandon expectations, harmonize with loved ones, and trust the process. If she can do all that, she might just learn a new song. Strikingly original and unabashedly queer, Out Here explores the freedom of relinquishing control, and how, sometimes, you have to break something apart to create something better.
Acclaimed director Chay Yew makes his Court directorial debut with this charming and bold coming-of-age story, bringing the 2025/26 season to a jubilant conclusion.

ETHEL + Robert Mirabal: The Red Willow
ETHEL, the dynamic quartet and resident ensemble at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is known for their fierce, genre-defying energy and adventurous spirit. Celebrated for blending the worlds of classical and contemporary with unrelenting passion, this quartet’s music is as much about feeling as it is about sound. Joined by Robert Mirabal, the two-time Grammy-winning Native American flutist and visionary artist, the stage comes alive with an electric fusion of Indigenous storytelling and visceral emotion as musical masterminds collaborate.
This program is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
