DE USURIS
As The Joffrey Ballet introduces its 2017/18 season opening with the premiere of Giselle on October 18th, our FTA this week is a memorable conversation with Artistic Director Ashley Wheater this spring. If you did not experience Christopher Wheeldon’s re-imagined The Nutcracker last year, make a reservation today. The Nutcracker returns December 1st.
This week we are launching our new, short form commentary platform PicksInSix with Cirque du Soleil’s Luzia, now playing through September 3rd. The new platform will be our way to give you another reason to support all of the great cultural fare in and around Chicago and elsewhere. @picksinsix Stay tuned!
Coming up, there is some of the best theatre ever in and around Chicago including The Gin Game at Marriott Theatre, Moby Dick at Lookingglass and James Sherman’s The God of Isaac at Piven Theatre. Tonight, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me is live at Millennium Park and watch for Ann Hampton Callaway at City Winery, Jeannie Tanner and company at Andy’s and a showcase of talent at Winter’s Jazz Club where they are filling up fast for shows with Elaine Dame, Paul Marinaro and more.
