Chicago Shakespeare Theater celebrates the 10th Anniversary of Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks with a re-envisioned creative community engagement program. Through a unique collaboration with local artists and arts organizations, Chicago Shakespeare in the Parks will present the free theatrical event DREAM: A Community Reimagining of A Midsummer Night’s Dream created with Cruz Gonzalez-Cadel, Cage Sebastian Pierre, GQ, and Joriah Kwamé, and created and performed with collaborators from six featured partner neighborhoods, including: Me’Lo The Generation Hero and DJ Jeremy Heights from Englewood; Move Me Soul from Austin; Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center from Hermosa; Yin He Dance from Chinatown; and partners to be announced from Little Village and West Pullman. Artisans from the Fulton Street Collective in West Town are collaborating on the design of the production’s pop-up mobile stage.
