Hir
Steppenwolf Theatre
1650 N. Halsted St. in the Lincoln Park neighborhood
Final Week!
The classic dysfunctional family drama has just crashed through into a wholly original place. Meet Paige, a wife and mother liberated from an oppressive and abusive marriage; Max, her newly out transgender teen; and Isaac, Max’s PTSD-addled older brother, who discovers a brand new war zone when he comes home from Afghanistan. Hir’s crusade to shake up the patriarchy is disarmingly funny, absurd and surprising as it looks at an American family forced to build a new world out of the pieces of the old.

The Fair Maid of the West
Oak Park Festival Theatre

The Fair Maid of the West is a swashbuckling, award-winning, rip-roaring comedy that tells the adventures of lowborn tavern girl, Bess Bridges, and her true love, Spencer. Through a series of misadventures, the ardent lovers are separated. Bess, seeking to rescue her true love, inspires a rag-tag group of friends to sail across the seas on a fantastical adventure to bring him home. Accompanied by the brave Goodlack, the braggart Roughman, and the comic innkeeper Clem, Bess faces many a challenge, including roaring battles, mistaken identities and storm-tossed seas! (Spoiler alert- love conquers all.)

The Veil
Idle Muse Theatre Company at the Edge Theater
5451 N. Broadway Ave. in the Edgewater neighborhood
With her family facing financial ruin as the Irish rural way of life comes to an end, Hannah's impending marriage to a British lord will settle her mother's debts and save the estate. Catastrophe strikes, however, when a defrocked reverend pushes her to embrace the strange voices that have haunted her since birth. Against the backdrop of Ireland's troubled colonial history, The Veil is a transfixing, mystical ghost story about the search for love and the circularity of time - and the ghosts that are woken by scarcity and the fear of dispossession.
