AN ACCESSIBLE FREE THEATRE WORKSHOP AT VICTORY GARDENS in CHICAGO - MARCH 13TH - MAY 1ST, 2017


CHICAGO - The Neo-Futurists troupe has done it again. In an accessible 8-week introductory class, students will explore core Neo-Futurist tenets of honesty, brevity, chance and audience interaction in order to create and perform short plays in our unique, non-fiction aesthetic. The class will culminate in a public performance at Victory Gardens Theatre on May 1st, 2017 as part of ‘Crip Slam’ in the Richard Christensen Theater.

Artists with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply, and will be given preference in acceptance into the workshop. (The class is open to everyone; however we will strive to maintain a majority of artists with disabilities in the class.)

MONDAYS, 6:00PM - 9:00PM
MARCH 13TH - MAY 1ST, 2017
CLASS PERFORMANCE - MAY 1ST

CLASSES WILL BE HELD IN THE REHEARSAL ROOM AT VICTORY GARDENS FOR THE FIRST FIVE SESSIONS AND IN THE RICHARD CHRISTENSEN THEATER FOR THE FINAL THREE.
