Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago announces Fall LookOut series

Leave your inhibitions at home tonight.

Walkabout Theatre Presents
The Brink! Or Nobody’s Ever Kissed Me Like That…

Preview: Thursday August 23
Regular Run: Friday, August 24 & Saturday, August 25
7:30pm
$15 Preview, $25 General Admission Regular Run, $15 Student/Industry
In a cafe at the edge of the world, a group of wayward performers present The Brink! an avant garde cabaret about longing and music, growing up and falling apart; about the ground beneath us shifting too quickly, and the world becoming unrecognizable. Drawing from American pop songs and jazz standards, the poetry of Gertrude Stein, and Ann Carson’s “The Gender of Sound,” the ensemble slides past the edge of reason in the unfettered encounter with the stranger inside.

Destinos
Steppenwolf’s LookOut Series is proud to be a venue partner for Destinos, the Chicago International Latino Theater Festival. Produced by the Chicago Latino Theater Alliance (CLATA), Destinos brings together top Latino theater artists and companies from Chicago, the U.S. and around Latin America for seven weeks of shows, panels and student performances held throughout the city. From September 20 – October 14, Steppenwolf’s 1700 Theatre will feature the work of four daring Latino theater companies.
