  • Friday, February 28, 2020 at 6:30 p.m.


Talk Backs
Chicago Shakespeare's post-show discussions provide audience members the opportunity to ask the cast questions about the performance they have just experienced. These half-hour discussions are facilitated by a member of CST's Education Department. Talk backs are held after every weekday matinee performance.

Lunch & Learn
We’re inviting lifelong learners among our audiences to come “lunch & learn” with us at Chicago Shakespeare. Attendees can purchase a convenient boxed meal in advance and enjoy a scholar’s lecture, followed by a robust discussion with their fellow lunch-and-learners.
