On Sunday June 23, Free Street Theater will mark its 50th anniversary—very few Chicago theaters are older—by performing a play in every Chicago ward in just one day! 50 IN 50 will spread the Free Street Theater’s unique brand of joy (and urban socio-political commentary) far and wide across Chicago’s neighborhoods as 10 performing teams each presents a different piece in five wards. Performance times will be 10 a.m. as well as 12, 2, 4 and 6 p.m. Performances are FREE and outdoors unless it rains. Free Street Theater always has been Chicago’s most inclusive troupe, a tribute to founder Patrick Henry who died in 1989. The current chief is writer/director Coya Paz, co-founder of Teatro Luna and Proyecto Latina.
