O for a Muse: Part 1

  • The Watts Theatre - The Theatre School at DePaul 2350 North Racine Avenue Chicago, IL, 60614 United States (map)

ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION:

When rehearsals for a production of Midsummer Night’s Dream are interrupted by an actual love spell, a group of actors must journey to a mysterious antique shop to untangle the secrets of their props. They soon learn every object has a story… 

Join A.B.L.E.’s adult ensemble as they remix some of The Bard’s classics in a unique evening of storytelling. The actors, 12 adults with Down syndrome and other developmental differences, will take the stage Friday December 13th with an original production devised by the group. Featuring brand new tales interwoven with text from Shakespearean classics including Romeo & Juliet, Titus Andronicus, Hamlet, and The Tempest and more, O for a Muse celebrates the magic of everyday objects.
