Our City, Our Shakespeare

The Emmy Award-nominated Our City, Our Shakespeare examines Chicago’s special relationship with the world’s most translated and performed playwright not only in the playhouses you might expect but also in the dance concerts, music performance, museum exhibit and improv shows you might not.

Featuring Chicago Shakespeare Theater, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Lyric Opera of Chicago, The Joffrey Ballet, The Art Institute of Chicago and The Improvised Shakespeare Company, with a special appearance by Renée Fleming, Our City Our Shakespeare is a swift-moving, compelling and unique look at how Shakespeare’s works ripple through all of our lives.
