Welcome to Playnotes Online - the research web resource of Court Theatre. Playnotes includes a distilled version of the rich investigative process involved in every Court production. They are, in essence, the "greatest hits" of our research into the context, history, critical thinking and development process that fuels our work.

Playnotes, unless otherwise credited, are written and/or compiled by Celise Kalke, Resident Dramaturg. She may be contacted at ckalke@uchicago.edu.
