Court Theatre’s acclaimed production of The Romance Cycle: Parts 1 and 2, comprised of two full-length Shakespeare plays, Cymbeline and Pericles, will explore themes of love, mistaken identity, sacrifice, disaster, reconciliation and romance. Set against a backdrop of an impending war between Britain and the Roman Empire, Cymbeline is the tale of the brave heroine, Imogen, and her lover, Posthumus, who marry in secret only to be separated by King Cymbeline. In Pericles, Shakespeare’s great romance of loss and redemption, an exiled prince travels through a series of fantastical kingdoms in search of home. Audience members are encouraged to view both plays on the same day for the optimum experience. A Greek buffet dinner will be served between the two parts.

“Wounded in America” documents the experiences of people who have survived gun violence. Developed by photographer Robert Drea and writer Stephanie Arena (A.B., ’76) in collaboration with the Chicago Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility, the exhibition explores the powerful and ongoing effects of a single moment in time, for the individual, the family and the community. The stories of those photographed invite reflection on the conditions that give rise to violence and on ways to address those conditions.
