Zulema by Dolores Díaz

The 21-22 Chicago Season saw the tentative return of season announcements post pandemic, starting with outdoor events in the summer and indoor shows requiring masks and proof of vaccination or negative COVID-19 test for patrons in the fall and spring. Theatrical comebacks made possible via a variety of collaborations, foundational support, and city monies are a theme of this Chicago season.
