Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago has announced titles and dates for its LookOut programming, a wide variety of work coming from a diverse array of voices—artists both emerging and established.
This summer, the series will feature Sounds Like Chicago: A Live Podcast Festival, a three-night live podcast festival featuring the best of local Chicago-made shows (August 15-17), and She’s Folks! by Elizabeth Morgan (August 25-26).
Highlights from the fall lineup include Me, My Mom and Sharmila, written and performed by Fawzia Mirza, a hilarious coming-of-age story told by a first-generation American woman of color (September 23-24); Looking for Love, a live dating game show and cabaret in which singles are encouraged to attend (November 5); and Methtacular!, Steven Strafford’s award-winning one-man show telling the true story of his three years as a sex-addled, crystal meth addict on the streets of Chicago (November 11-12).
