Hi, everyone!
Before you get too excited or confused, heads up - Barbecue is the title of
a really funny play by Robert O'Hara, presented by our friends at Strawdog
Theatre in our 1700 Theatre.
I'm really happy to share that they'll be presenting Audio Description and a
pre-show Touch Tour for the 3:30pm performance on Sunday, September 10.
Tickets for people taking advantage of the Audio Description have been
discounted to $20.
This is a great show, and I strongly encourage you to check it out.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, hope to see you
soon!

By Robert O'Hara

ABOUT THE SHOW
A modern American family uses a summer barbecue as a pretext to ambush
sister Barbara with an intervention. If you think "all families are crazy"
is just a cliche, you've not spent time under the influence of the
O'Mallerys. An afternoon in the park with these raucous siblings and you'll
be challenging your own assumptions about family, race, and reality. The
Chicago premiere of Barbecue by Obie and Helen Hayes Award winner Robert
O'Hara will have you laughing out loud and questioning how it's true that in
America, you sometimes taze the ones you love.
Featuring Kristin Collins, Celeste M. Cooper, Kamille Dawkins, Anita Deely,
Barbara Figgins, Deanna Reed-Foster, Abby Pierce, John Henry Roberts, Ginneh
Thomas and Terence Simms.
