Performers/playwrights Ever Mainard and Alicia Queen illuminate the canon of women in William Shakespeare’s dramas, histories and comedies in sketch-comedy form in the new show Shakespeare’s Female Women. So go along a journey through time and fiction when the little-known Shakespearean character of Volumnia tries to gain more prominence in this history-influenced comedy. Shakespeare’s Female Women plays 7:30 p.m. Saturdays from Sept. 8 through Sept. 29 at the Gorilla Tango Skokie Theatre, 7924 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. Tickets are $15; call 847-677-7761 or visit www.gorillatango.com for more information. Photo courtesy of Gorilla Tango Theatre.
