★ NATO/G8 SUMMIT INFORMATION ★
Please note that the performances on 5/19 & 5/20 (and heading home after the performance on 5/18) will be affected by road closures pertaining to the NATO/G8Summit at McCormick Place. Lake Shore Drive will be closed from Balbo to 39th St, and I-55 will be closed from I-90/94 to Lake Shore Drive. As a result, the best way to reach Court Theatre from the north or west side will be by public transportation via Metra, Green, or Red lines to 55th St/Garfield and transfering to the 55 bus, or driving via I-90/94 to 55th St/Garfield. If driving, head east on Garfield for two miles, veering right and then left around Washington Park after the first mile. Parking is free in the garage next door to the theatre.
"An electrifying production...Newell's impeccable gift for bringing clarity, balance, truthfulness, humor and genuine intimacy to everything he touches is in evidence throughout this marathon work." - Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
"Truly jaw-dropping performances...an intensely moving performance from Rob Lindley...a series of thrilling characterizations from Hollis Resnik ... and by Larry Yando twisting himself into the greatest Roy Cohn of the many I've seen." - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
Chicago Tribune on Charles Newell
Christopher Borrelli of the Chicago Tribune profiles Court Theatre Artistic Director Charles Newell. “If Newell has a signature talent, it’s here: an ability to cut to the chase, to strip away the artifice built up around a classic and remind us why the play was important in the first place.”

Court’s 2012/2013 Season
September 6 – July 14
“Our fifty-eighth season will be another great Court season, including some signature offerings: classic plays, an intimate musical, and our continued exploration of the African American canon. We will once again feature our resident artist Ron OJ Parson directing Jitney, Court’s latest installment in August Wilson’s Century Cycle. Doug Peck and I are launching a reimagined version of James Joyce’s ‘The Dead,’ followed by the Court Theatre debut of William Brown directing David Hare’s Skylight, an intimate play that, I believe, will catch our audiences by surprise. I’m excited to direct Proof, bringing David Auburn’s play about the University of Chicago home to Hyde Park. Finally, I plan to top off the season by making a long overdue return to my roots in the French Baroque with a festival of two Moliere comedies, The Misanthrope and Tartuffe.” -Artistic Director Charles Newell
