Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST) presents Paranormal Activity, an original story based on Paramount Pictures’ terrifying film franchise—now live on stage. This North American premiere from celebrated Chicago playwright Levi Holloway (Broadway’s Grey House) and Punchdrunk’s Felix Barrett (Sleep No More) features illusions by Tony Award winner Chris Fisher (Stranger Things: The First Shadow, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).  James and Lou move from Chicago to London to escape the past…but they soon discover that places aren’t haunted, people are. The production runs through November 2 in The Yard, featuring performances by Cher Álvarez, Patrick Heusinger, Shannon Cochran, and Kate Fry and Sophie Kaegi. Performance Listing:
