SUMMARY:Out Here
DESCRIPTION:Out Here \nLife 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. \nDawn 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. \nAcclaimed 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. \nAccessible Performances: \n\nTouch Tour: Saturday\, May 2 at 12:30pm\nAudio Description and ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, May 2 at 2:00pm\nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, May 3 at 2:00pm
