The week that was included the opening of the not-to-be-missed Chicago premiere of FUN HOME at Victory Gardens, an all-woman cast in Barbara Gaines re-imagined The Taming of the Shrew at Chicago Shakes, Five Guys Named Moe at Court Theatre and the gripping production of A View From the Bridge at Goodman Theatre. And this is just the beginning!

Coming up is BILLY ELLIOT The Musical, Porchlight Theatre's 2017 season opening production directed by Brenda Didier. Our conversation is all about her early training, an award-winning career as a choreographer and director in full swing, the big move to The Ruth Page Center and working with the largest cast ever at Porchlight.
