2014 Season Announced!

With Twelfth Night come and gone, our 2014 Season has officially been Announced!

Celebrate!
Celebrate!

JULIUS CAESAR (March)
After three years of struggling, Unrehearsed Shakespeare is FINALLY staging this historic favorite about hubris & honor, ambition and anxiety. The Ides of March will herald a bloody affair in ancient Rome this year.

Those Ides keep on comin'

ROMEO & JULIET (June)
Keeping with the crowd-pleasers, we’ll be bringing you our first production of Romeo & Juliet this wedding season. Unrehearsed scholar and godfather Bill Kincaid calls R&J “A broad experiment in overlapping dialog. It’s just everywhere.” Come watch the truthfully chaotic passions of young love collide in the quintessential Lovers’ Tragedy.

THE HOUR OF ERRORS and DOUBLE FALSEHOOD (August)
Summer’s end brings you a fast-paced double-header. The Hour of Errors, Unrehearsed’s one-hour cutting of The Comedy of Errors, has been produced on a pirate ship and under a storm-beset bandshell, but now we’re finally bringing it to the bars of Chicago. Paired with this sixty-minute-laughstravaganza is a first: Double Falsehood. Allegedly an adaptation of Cardenio, Theobald’s experiment will be put to the One True Test of Verse: The Unrehearsed technique.

HENRY V (October)
Celebrate Saint Crispin’s Day the only way you can: with the Gloried Warrior King. Alarums aplenty, atrocious accents, laughable leeks, and the most famous inspirational speech of all time make this a must-see event.

"We few, we happy few"
