Don’t miss Berlin, presented by our friends at Court Theatre! Be the first to experience this exhilarating world premiere, adapted from Jason Lutes’s acclaimed graphic novel. 

It is 1928. Fascism is taking hold; revolutionaries are organizing; creatives are trying to capture the ineffable nature of their changing city; and – as everything falls apart – everyone is faced with a choice: abandon Berlin or fight to survive.

Charles Newell (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead) directs Mickle Maher’s propulsive adaptation, an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of everyday people trying to survive one of the most remarkable moments in history. Set almost one hundred years ago, Berlin speaks to our current moment, and our future, with undeniable urgency.

Performances begin on Saturday, April 19 and run through Sunday, May 11. Meet us in Berlin. 

Featuring partnerships with the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE), the Public Media Institute, the Seminary Co-Op Bookstore, the Jane Addams Hull-House Museum, the University of Chicago Film Studies Center, and Po'Chop and Switch the Boi Wonder, Court Theatre invites you to dive into this exhilarating world premiere.
