SENSORY FRIENDLY – BWBTC Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Dream
The Edge Theater 5451 N Broadway St, ChicagoFour Athenians run away to the forest in the name of love (reciprocated and otherwise). They find themselves in the midst of a war between Titania and Oberon, the king and queen of the fairies, over a changeling boy in Titania’s charge. In the midst of this conflict, local workers are attempting (poorly) to rehearse a play to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Duke Theseus to Queen Hippolyta. All the while, the mischievous Puck is guiding events and creating chaos for fae and mortals alike. Come see this magical Shakespearean comedy with a Babes With Blades twist!

The Edge Theater 5451 N Broadway St, Chicago**Multi-Accessibility / Talkback Day** Aligned with the mission of representing marginalized voices, BWBTC has partnered with UIC’s Disability Cultural Center to tell the tale of the malicious Richard of Gloucester. Casting both non-disabled and disabled actors, this production will not only examine stage combat as a storytelling tool, but interrogate the divide between “regular” theatre and “theatre for the disabled”.
