SUMMARY:Joe Turner's Come and Gone
DESCRIPTION:More than twenty years in the making\, Resident Artist Ron OJ Parson completes a defining chapter of his artistic legacy. With Joe Turner’s Come and Gone\, Parson finishes August Wilson’s American Century Cycle and joins an elite circle of directors who have staged all ten plays at the same theatre. \nIt is 1911\, and Herald Loomis and his daughter\, Zonia\, have been on the road for years\, searching for Zonia’s mother and\, unbeknownst to Herald\, chasing his forgotten song. Their journey leads them to Seth Holly’s boardinghouse\, where they meet Holly\, his wife\, and fellow boarders who\, like them\, are in relentless pursuit of love\, identity\, freedom\, and purpose. \nWilson’s iconic\, evocative prose and vivid characters shine in this portrayal of a nation haunted by slavery\, with spirits around every corner and no escape in sight. \nAccessible Performances \nTouch Tour\, Audio Description\, ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, January 30 at 2:00pm \nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, January 31 at 2:00pm \nIf you have any questions about access or to request a reasonable accommodation that will facilitate your full participation in this event such as ASL interpreting\, captioned videos\, Braille or electronic text\, food options for individuals with dietary restrictions\, etc. please contact the event organizer.

SUMMARY:Mojada
DESCRIPTION:An adaptation of an ancient classic tale of revenge\, sacrifice\, and the high price of pursuing freedom\, Mojada renders Euripides’s Medea myth urgently and achingly alive in the city of Chicago. \nMedea survived a treacherous journey from Mexico to the United States in search of a better life\, but the promise of the American Dream is quickly unravelling. She sews exquisite garments in her backyard\, suffocated by fear. Her son sheds tradition as fast as he can\, trading huaraches for Vans. And her husband grows distant\, seduced by ambition and proximity to power. Trapped between who she was and who America demands she become\, Medea finds herself in a standoff with the very dream she risked everything to reach. \nCo-directed by Teatro Vista Productions’ Artistic Director Wendy Mateo and Artistic Collective member Denise Yvette Serna\, Mojada confronts the contradictions at the center of American identity: opportunity and erasure\, belonging and betrayal. Both a love letter and a searing indictment\, this electrifying production asks: What are we willing to sacrifice in the pursuit of liberty? \nAccessible Performances \n\n\nTouch Tour\, Audio Description\, ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, April 3 at 2:00pm \n\n\nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, April 4 at 2:00pm

SUMMARY:Safronia
DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary new opera from inaugural Chicago Poet Laureate avery r. young\, safronia blends gospel\, blues\, funk\, folklore\, poetry\, and history to tell a tale of triumph and trauma\, ownership and loss. Banished from their land\, the Booker family is deadset on reclaiming what’s theirs and granting their patriarch’s last wish. But one final reckoning remains: safronia must avenge her father’s death. \nsafronia is an epic poem told through the vibrant music of the hundreds of thousands of African Americans who journeyed to Chicago during the Great Migration—and a revelatory conclusion to the 2026/27 season. It celebrates the sonic legacy of artists like Curtis Mayfield\, Nina Simone\, and Oscar Brown Jr.\, and completely reimagines the scope of the American classical music landscape. \nAfter mounting a concert-style performance at Lyric Opera\, composer avery r. young and director Timothy Douglas bring a fully realized production to Court’s intimate venue\, promising an evening that shimmers\, soars\, and binds us in a communal American history. \nAccessible Performances \n\n\nTouch Tour\, Audio Description\, ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, June 5 at 2:00pm \n\n\nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, June 6 at 2:00pm \n\n\nsafronia was workshopped and commissioned by Lyric Opera of Chicago\, with its world premiere concert-style production at Lyric Opera House on April 17-18\, 2026. \nIf you have any questions about access or to request a reasonable accommodation that will facilitate your full participation in this event such as ASL interpreting\, captioned videos\, Braille or electronic text\, food options for individuals with dietary restrictions\, etc. please contact the event organizer.
