The Chicago Landmark Project, Theatre Seven at Greenhouse Theater, through July 10. It’s the perfect staycation—a tour of Chicago from 63rd Street to Lincoln Square, from the dawn of the 20th century to the present day. And you complete the entire excursion in one evening without ever having to leave your seat. MSB
The Front Page, TimeLine Theatre, through July 17. Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur’s classic 1920s Chicago journalism comedy gets a crackling good production that is so intimate that the audience practically gets to be on top the action. SCM
The Homosexuals, About Face Theatre at the Biograph, through July 24. It’s a decade in the life of a once-naive young gay man, told via two-person flashbacks through friends and lovers. Philip Dawkins’s serio-comic world premiere is smart writing, well-acted. JA
Yellow Face, Silk Road Theatre Project, through July 17. David Henry Hwang’s ethnographic twist on the old tale of The Emperor’s New Clothes makes for savage satire and insightful arguments ultimately championing the all-American tradition of self-reinvention. MSB
