A People

Show Information

A PEOPLE is a theatrical mosaic of eras and lands; generations and deserts; hats and books; clarinets and bread; people lost and people searching; angry young women; sad old men; angels; history; memory; and imagination. A PEOPLE gathers a versatile ensemble of 10 performers, taking on a spectrum of Old and New World perspectives – across time, space, age, and gender – in a kaleidoscopic celebration of humanity that explores and explodes the history and present of the Jewish diaspora. A participatory theatrical experience as intimate as it is epic, A PEOPLE spins a luminous and tenuous tale of (dis)connection and (be)longing, all while wrestling with the question: What is my relationship to those who came before me? And are we – or is anyone – still a people? This performance takes the audience on a journey through 4,000 years of Jewish history, exploring themes of heritage, tradition and identity. Through a blend of vignettes, music and monologues, the ensemble offers a candid look at how people connect with, wrestle with or embrace their lineage. With a mix of humor and honest reflection, A People provides a fresh perspective on the past and present of Jewish life.

NO LATE SEATING

Take Note

  • 2026 Chicago Pride Parade - Sunday, June 28th
  • Please leave extra time for travel and parking. The Chicago Pride Parade's central hub bisects the route between Lake Shore Drive and our theater, making it extremely difficult (let's just say impossible) to get here on Belmont. Almost all roads will be busy, and parking will be scarce. Please leave plenty of time for travel and parking, or plan an alternate travel route on public transit.
