Superintendent Macbeth’s paranoia and tyranny lead to civil war, where Macduff, a precinct commander, ultimately defeats Macbeth, restoring the rightful heir, Deputy Chief Malcolm, to the t’rone. Chicago Cop Macbeth is indeed Shakespeare’s classic text, adapted to be in a parallel world of da Chicago cops—a king is now a superintendent, a thane is a commander, Fleance is a cop cadet, etc., all in the Conspirators’ inimitable style.
Olivia Buntaine’s World Premiere adaptation, “MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA” rips open Euripides’ tragedy to reveal the woman beneath the legend—powerful, divine, and dangerously overlooked. In this bold new adaptation Medea is no longer just the scorned woman history remembers but a force of nature wrestling with the impossible: self versus sacrifice, revenge versus righteousness, being right versus doing right. With razor-sharp, poetic language that invites rather than alienates, “MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA” dismantles the villain narrative, igniting the stage with fire, fury, and humanity.
Friendship, heartache, and country music.
Featuring 27 of Patsy Cline’s biggest hits, this is the ultimate love letter to one of the most celebrated and influential performers of the 20th century.
