Curious has developed its own recognizable style, using an economy of means and production to make deeper and deeper, rather than larger and larger, work. In 1995, Beau O'Reilly was named one of the 50 most influential people in Chicago theater by Chicago Magazine, and in 1998, Beau O'Reilly and Jenny Magnus were named among the Artists of the Year by the Chicago Tribune. Curious is committed to producing new plays by company members, and also periodically returns to the work of esteemed writers from the broader literary world who have inspired the group, recently producing plays by Eugène Ionesco and Caryl Churchill. Curious's productions of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Harold Pinter’s The Caretaker were named among the top five theater productions of 2006 and 2009, respectively, by Newcity. In 2007, Curious Theatre Branch won an Orgie Award for Original Theater for the year-long Samuel Beckett festival, No Danger of the Spiritual Thing: 100 Years of Beckett (best ensemble), and in 2011 Curious was granted a season-long residency at the Museum of Contemporary Art, culminating in Jenny Magnus’s Still in Play: A Performance of Getting Ready. The Curious Theatre Branch ensemble currently includes Jayita Bhattacharya, Jeffrey Bivens, Chris Bower, Paul Brennan, Leny Brün, Stefan Brün, Charlotte Lastra, Jenny Magnus, T-Roy Martin, Beau O'Reilly, Vicki Walden, and Julia Williams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5beef92b45776e6302c5b8c4/1714585202201-SK9TX03LWQLSE7H43ER2/IMG_0364.JPG Rhino History

The Full Moon Vaudeville stretches back all the way to the 90’s, when Curious was housed at The Lunar Cabaret on Lincoln Avenue, and there was an amazing, luminous, full moon painted on the back wall. Acts would perform in front of that wonderful moon, painted by Grace Amandes. This year the acts will be as varied as in other years. We invite all the participants from the festival to come and celebrate the opening, akin to smashing a champagne bottle on a ship. Come help us smash a breakaway bottle on our own heads to open Rhinofest 2024! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5beef92b45776e6302c5b8c4/12649903-d4bb-46a3-b159-975c0059aca7/82637295_605282733559819_3394455380087013376_n.jpg Full Moon Vaudeville - Make it stand out [Pictured: Beau and Jenny hosting the Vaudeville in 2016.

Upon receiving his, he declared, “I’m Mixed!” We are Black—at least that is how we were raised, though the percentages in our tests would confirm his assertion. This solo performance will investigate America’s most effective con job— Race = Identity. Through a blend of comedic characters, personal stories, cutting observations, and historical insights, this show will look at Race in America and my relationship to both. You will laugh. You will think.

As mayor, he has important duties and today’s is “most important indeed.” The Walrus has been waiting decades for the return of the one whose mottos are “Peace and Love” and he is near exhaustion at the task. Energy and a renewed purpose are in abundance this morning, however, because according to the calendar, “He is coming.” … “The play was inspired by a prompt from a theatre company in Liverpool. They were doing a festival of new works honoring the sixtieth anniversary of the Beatles. The title came to me first and then the characters and concept. I was cautious to be delving into the sacred territory of what many have called the greatest piece of Existential art ever made; let alone a giant in theatre lore. But here we are, Nowhere.” - Eugene O’Reilly https://rhinofest.com/limerent daily 0.75 2024-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5beef92b45776e6302c5b8c4/378450e7-af39-4fe0-b4d4-d30c36f6df0a/LIMERENT_Post.jpg Limerent: Psychosis of the Heart - Limerent: Psychosis of the Heart Heartbroken Amanda Galvan lost her father from a tragic accident. She comforts her distressed mother who is traumatized from witnessing the accident beforehand. Instead of dealing with her complicated feelings of grief, Amanda spirals into her fantasy world. In her fantasy, she is that girl. Fantasy Amanda is a mix between a pop-star, drag queen and Mexican Hollywood movie star. There she has a supportive assistant named Dance Captain, who is the ultimate girl's girl. Not even Dance Captain can save her from her hellish psyche and her ex, Noah. Limerent is a cerebral feminist fantasy that takes on grief, forgiveness, heartache, and love.

The team of astronomers at the Minor Planet Center are not used to such questions. Typically, their work acts as the worldwide repository of information about comets, asteroids, and other natural satellites. However, they also serve an important purpose, one preoccupied with planetary defense; if an asteroid or comet ever threatens Earth, the Minor Planet Center will be the first to raise the alarm. Comet envisions a scenario where an event like this occurs, leaving the Minor Planet Center to grapple with the choice of sharing the news with the world, or concealing it. Comet explores how everyone deals with extreme circumstances in their unique ways and what it takes to bear the weight of decisions that affect those we love the most. https://thecometproduction.com/home https://www.instagram.com/comet_play_/ Chicago Dramatists (798 N Aberdeen) https://rhinofest.com/workday daily 0.75 2024-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5beef92b45776e6302c5b8c4/1715027513647-I51P53JRVMUXMUU6GSK8/WorkDay+Cover+Page.png WorkDay - WorkDay: An Absurd Play About Working From Home Written and Directed by Keith Gatchel Starring Jamie Aitchison The opposite of a silent movie: ‘WorkDay: An Absurd Play About Working From Home’, draws inspiration from Charlie Chaplin’s “Modern Times” and the I Love Lucy episode “Job Switching” to convey the new way jobs sap their employees intelligence, energy, and agency in the name of hard work while smiling, all from the comfort of their own home.

The first act takes place in Kosovo in 2004, where two ABC City representatives meet with Serbian and Albanian filmmakers to create a show together, despite centuries of resentment and the sound of gunfire outside the window. The second act brings us to Trump-era Texas, where ABC City visits the Hutto Immigrant Detention Center. Finally, the third act takes us a few miles inland from what was once Philadelphia, now underwater, where a young girl searches for the mythical ABC City in the post climate apocalypse.

Terry Sofianos Wohlgenant’s The Impossible Knot portrays one woman’s real life struggle to come to terms with the finite nature of existence through story, myth, and being tied in rope. In a series of Vaudeville inspired solos and skits featuring comedy, Shibari, burlesque, and drag, the Three Fates spin, measure, and cut strands of human lives, tying their mortal companion into an impossible knot of love, loss, and ultimate acceptance.

There were many such young women and men in the camps—the sheer numbers make the argument. Concentration is an attempt to stand alongside them, three generations removed, with short, spare yet formally coherent poems that serve as a kind of journal—an entirely imaginary response to all-too-real and yet unthinkable events. These poems are given voice and presence here, along with accompanying original music. In 1904 Rilke wrote (in Letters to a Young Poet) that the highest human courage was to be found in our willing embrace of what is most strange, grotesque or inexplicable in our lives. Years later, in the most exigent of circumstances, a young poet writes back.

A creative challenge becomes a high-stakes swindle as the dreamers get in over their heads. The Dreamless Patron is a semi-scripted, semi-devised magical realist comedy that explores dreams, art, money, and the relationship between the three.

Penelope, however, spurned all of Cecil’s advances, faked a pregnancy to get double rations, and mysteriously escaped never to be seen again. With original music by Caroline Kidwell and Max Cohen– and inspiration from Marie Antoinette, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and others– Penelope lets us examine the rage, rise, and fall of a woman in the public eye (through the lens of a bizarre, semi-aquatic, two pound creature).

Co-produced by Do Process and Rhinofest Cast: Bridgett Martinez & Grace Griego Stage Manager: Tyler Hughes What I Remember is a 30 minute play about queer love inspired by musical artist Samia’s debut album, The Baby. Using projection, altered time, abstraction from reality, and multiple perspectives, this story follows the unity and separation of two individuals, Sam and Em, finding their way in and out of love. Using themes from the album’s lyrics, this play creates a mosaic of a relationship that once was. Queer love, like memories, can be fragmented and nonlinear, with some parts more real or vivid than others. Emotions have a funny impact on memory, especially when there are two sides to every story. This is the second production from a new Chicago theatre company, Do Process. Our mission is to foster the upcoming generation of theater makers and theatergoers by prioritizing innovation and humanity in our process.

How are we supposed to be good and interesting? Is the pressure to be good, to be proper, to not hurt others, to not transgress, actually a way to hold one down? Can someone be not good but in tiny ways no one might notice? And what about the word, “virtue”? Loosely dubbing off Marcus Aurelius’ “Meditations,” Jenny Magnus sings her way through this dilemma, as she has been doing for 30 years. She is asking, is not being good the same as being bad?

Witness our distorted leg-creatures existing in a desert of lost words under the ever-watching free-trial of a censor god, who makes sure all content is EXACTLY PG-13, (never veering into the evils of PG-12 or PG-14.) Leaning on foundations in bouffon, drag, and sketch comedy, LegLand guides you through a dense and energetic world of absurdity. Incorporating bizarre props and costumes, surreal language, and warped video elements, we distort the traditional sketch comedy show into something that is both distasteful and delicious, lampooning whatever we can get our legs on.

IBO is modular in the sense that it can manifest itself in many forms and purposes. As few as two or as many as 10 collaborators. IBO can manifest as a concert in a club, an interactive piece of dance theater, a component of a full theatrical production, full on frenzy or as still as a gallery installation. IBO is interested in the impulse of the artist and how it makes them behave in the ritual of live performance. Does the idiosyncratic impulse of the artist/musician/dancer create the vision / behavior, or does the behavior create the idiosyncrasies? Chicken or Egg? Symbiosis? IBO believes in improvisation. IBO believes in chaos and synchronicity walking hand in hand. IBO believes in action / reaction. IBO believes in simultaneous play. IBO believes in ritual. IBO believes in crossing disciplinary boundaries. IBO believes we are members of a tribe. IBO believes in IBO. IBO believes in YOU.

When two young women, dancers Medusa and Athena, meet in the club, Athena quickly becomes Medusa’s mentor. The club starts to curate a sister-like bond between the two as they find themselves constantly up against unique experiences of patriarchy. Their love and adoration for each other quickly leads to a destined dance partnership and lucrative work relationship. However, as Medusa grows obsessed with her self-discovery, the power play between men and women, and her mission to heal her history of sexual trauma, she starts to challenge the stability of the only environment Athena has ever felt control in. Told through moments of incredible joy, strength, grace, and pain, the play is a commentary on the sisterhood wound, and how women have a unique ability to understand and reject each other, as they are products of the patriarchy. Within the show, the audience must face our social and cultural history rooted in misogyny and join Medusa as she tries to answer the question: will people of different genders always be a threat to one another or is it possible to experience a true, peaceful coexistence?

Measure of a Man is an examination of a pivotal moment in American history, offering both a tribute to Chairman Fred Hampton's legacy as one of the youngest and most prominent leaders of The Black Panther Party. Set in the apartment where he and another panther man, Mark Clarke met their untimely demise. The play serves as an experimental exploration of Hampton's youth, his magnetic charisma, and his tireless efforts to unite the working class across racial lines. The stage is a haunting tableau, with blood splatters on the walls, doors, and windows with bullet holes in them; yellow caution tape strewn about the room. Through a series of flashbacks, monologues, and immersive dialogue, the audience is taken on a journey through Hampton's life, from his early activism to his rise as a powerful leader in the Black Power movement.

Murfin's "An Interview" - Ira S. Murfin's "An Interview" An Interview is an ongoing, linear, itinerant performance, consisting of a series of interlocking one-hour segments, each built around a unique encounter between ever-rotating pairs of participants, one of whom is returning from the previous segment, the other newly arriving. Each segment is comprised of two halves: a reading of the transcript of an interview the returning participant conducted with the previous participant during the prior segment, and a new interview, in which the new participant interviews the returning participant. That interview is then transcribed to be read in the next segment, when the interviewer returns to be interviewed by a new participant, an interview that will then be revisited in the following segment, and so on. Since it was first initiated in 2016, dozens of people have participated in An Interview at the Chicago Cultural Center, Rhinoceros Theatre Festival, the BeauTown Cabaret, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Tritriangle, and in various living rooms and nontraditional performance spaces around Chicago, and it continues to seek out new places where two people can meet and talk.

In ultra-conservative religions, female followers’ mission in life is submission, and womanhood is synonymous with motherhood. But what happens when Mom discovers that the family’s values of freedom of religion and freedom of speech pale in comparison to the most desirable freedom of all: reproductive? Will Mom maintain her pro-life stance—that birth control is exerted solely by God—or will she stop denying her born children the right to life? Holy Inappropriate is a one-act play that analyzes and satirizes purity, piety, and patriarchy.

It follows one character (She) as she attempts to get ready to receive someone new into her room. To do so, she must clean up all of the mess that is around. Cry Baby started as a response to the statistic that nearly 40% of women cry during or after sex. The intersection between the infantilization of women and submissiveness in sex may be part of this phenomenon. How can we explore sexual dynamics safely? Where is the line?

Using projection, altered time, abstraction from reality, and multiple perspectives, this story follows the unity and separation of two individuals, Sam and Em, finding their way in and out of love. Using themes from the album’s lyrics, this play creates a mosaic of a relationship that once was. Queer love, like memories, can be fragmented and nonlinear, with some parts more real or vivid than others. Emotions have a funny impact on memory, especially when there are two sides to every story. This is the second production from a new Chicago theatre company, Do Process. Our mission is to foster the upcoming generation of theater makers and theatergoers by prioritizing innovation and humanity in our process.

As Marie reflects on the triumphs and tragedies of her life, she slowly unravels the puzzle before her. The play paints a dizzying picture of Marie’s passion for science, her deep love for her partner and husband, her tenacity in weathering the great storms of her life, and her complicated relationship with her “radiant child.” Through memory, music, and poetically horrific storytelling, Marie is confronted by her past and is forced to come face to face with the chilling realities of her radioactive discovery.

Influenced by The Chairs by Eugene Ionesco and The Crows by Henry Becque, Midnight Leaves is highly theatrical but at its core is the story of a woman confronting who she once was, where she came from, and the uncomfortable realities she had to overcome in order to survive to the present day. The play is ultimately about shedding your past selves to evolve into the next phase of your life. I use birds — a Hummingbird (teenager), a Bluebird (twentysomething), and a Crow (middle-age) — to represent different phases of the woman’s life. Music plays a role in setting mood and creating the voice of the Bluebird, who strums a guitar. Women and Children First Bookstore (5233 N.

Declet About the plays: Panther Women: An Army for the Liberation by India Nicole Burton follows one woman’s journey to self-discovery through the stories of three prominent women who were members of the Black Panther Party and Black Liberation Movement. This high-energy movement piece with poetry, monologues, dance, and song explores the dilemmas, obstacles, and joy of African American Women, chronicling the lifelong pursuit of justice by some of the founding women of the Civil Rights Movement. A choreopoem built upon extensive research and collaboration with a cohort of Black artists, Panther Women: An Army for the Liberation, touches on the core of the human condition and celebrates Black women. The New New Testament by alfonzo kahlil — Somewhere between the old world and the new. there’s always some old. the new is just a shiny old built on another less chrome old. therefore, we declare a new testament, a newer testament, a new new testament, in order to make sure our new, not your new, stay new; and the old stay old. this is not a remix, this is not a retelling…” This is modern day where EVE & EDEN set out to live their new lives together outside of the Garden. However, they abruptly discover every garden has their snakes, every relationship their challenges, and every Testament their devils. First Comes Love by Marie Yuen — A one-act play about two sisters exploring some of the issues that arise in a family caring for a child with special needs. Thanks to Angela Pullen for her valuable insights as a physical therapist who at the time of my writing worked for years at March of Dimes. Issa Was Here by Makeda M. Declet — Two ambitious Black writers who come to realize that there is room for both of them in a world where Black writers are easily tokenized or dismissed. The Nag by Louis Johnson — A wealthy American couple travels to Jamaica on holiday. But is it a vacation or a trip to Hell? Just ask Mr. VanderBurke!

Her life has been anything but easy and she has survived by hardening herself to what really matters. Her daughter, Denise pays a visit to see if there is anything soft left in the woman. Because right now, even after everything, she needs her mother’s advice and counsel. This two-person one act delves into a complex and layered relationship not uncommon for parents and children. Despite all effort to the contrary, in the end, are we all doomed to become our parents?

a diverse group of writers and performers - with and without disabilities - to share personal stories exploring everyday experiences. The result is a beautiful message of independence and the power of dealing with the world on their own terms. Funny as well as touching, these stories will change the way you think. Performers Israel Antonio Victoria Boateng Kimberly Brady Robert Teverbaugh Joshua Friedberg Stephen Donart Audience Quotes: “Thank you for the experience! The accounts were all so different and so moving. You told your stories—- often with humor and always with drama. I kept wanting to hear more” -Nancy Staszak “Tellin’ Tales programs grow awareness of complex issues by sharing first hand experiences. It's not commentary [....] it's lived experience and first hand experience shared is truly transformative as it provides the soil for positive growth for both the teller and receiver.” -Audience Member https://rhinofest.com/mr-moral daily 0.75 2025-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5beef92b45776e6302c5b8c4/1754587256357-2KDKTBPNJG6YW6QE5C9E/mrmoral.jpg Mr Moral and Friends - Mr. Moral & Friends Mr. Moral is throwing a party for all of his friends and you're invited! El Bear brings you a new (not for) children's show full of hope, friends, and that feeling you get when you are standing on the edge of oblivion staring into the void. How can we find hope in a time of rising fascism, loss of faith in a broken system, and an overwhelming sense of despair? We'll find out together as Mr. Moral tells us stories of a world he wants to believe in, but it sounds like the blood thirsty La Muñequita has other plans!

Welts! is a twisted journey into the deep, dark heart of the American medical establishment. Hauptschein’s alter ego, Frank, has a painful condition of welts that he has seen nine doctors about. He is hoping that number ten will be the magic number. There is no gunfire or strobe lights, minimal nudity, constant profanity, and perhaps an indecent act committed with a dental drill. Welts! is a play by David Hauptschein, and as such is not recommended for the squeamish. WELTS!

Raw, riveting, and unapologetically honest, FLOODED dives into the heart of rural America with a mashup of true stories—gritty, tender, and often uncomfortable. From backyard BBQs to opioid-fueled heartbreak, this experimental monologue piece lays bare the beauty and brutality of growing up “othered” in a divided country. Four voices. Seventy interviews. One fractured nation. Come for the country songs, stay for the reckoning.

Through unexpected comedy and raw revelations, Harper and her captors, each with their own desperate dreams, search for true liberation. In worlds divided by centuries, race, gender, and class but united by America's unfinished struggle, how do we reclaim our stories. Playwright: Jordan Marie Ford Directed by Anna C.

That conversation will then be transcribed and revisited in the next segment, followed by a new extemporaneous exchange, and so on. Every performance in An Interview is unique, and unrepeatable, while each encounter is connected by format and sequence to all the others in the project’s 9-year history. Created + Curated by Ira S.

What began as a collaboration between two new mothers seeking connection and respite has evolved into a community project documenting this universal and transformative experience. We have all cared for others. We have all been cared for by others. We wonder: how can radical love and caring be a roadmap for a more interconnected world? Have you rocked someone to sleep? Has someone cried out for you? Have you helped someone get dressed? Has someone you love thrown a tantrum? Do you worry that your loved ones need you to feed them? Do you have dishes to wash? Do you have to pack bags and unpack bags and pack bags and...? This performance is for you!

After a hectic 2024 involving being held at gunpoint, an injury, a best friend leaving the country, a harsh breakup, a relapse, and then a turn to sobriety, Michael reexamines where he is now through games, awards, and how he would adapt AA’s 12 steps for a more fun (and maybe less secular?) crowd. Also in the program there will be trigger phrases the audience can yell at any point. When they tell a trigger phrase, Michael must do a corresponding task. They are designed to derail the show. It’s immersive therapy to help Michael be more comfortable making mistakes and riding the wave of change after a year absolutely full of it.

And you! For the last several years, I've worked as a playwright-for-hire for companies such as Marvel and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, where I'm tasked with incorporating educational talking points or the lore of beloved characters into projects which must then then combed over and approved by multiple industry professionals. This is not one of those shows. This is The No Show, where it's just me and the audience against the world. In this interactive theatrical piece, we'll role-play, bake cookies, play in sandboxes (both literal and metaphorical), and have a good ol' primal scream as we collectively sharpen our "no"s and try to find our way back to "yes."

What happens when a moment of sincerity is turned into scripted self aggrandisement? How can the power of complaint work within a scripted stage setting? Finally, how do we change everything about ourselves... how do we do that and what do we do? Hate/Lab in 2025 takes the form of a casual chat (ala' a podcast or YouTube video) in which Steak Richardson and Jake Flum perform a scripted chat on the past 6 years of their theater company. While discussing the birth, growth, stagnation, and regrowth of their company they also critique the current modes in which in small indie company's operate and why they so often fail. This is a performance both real and fake, important yet phony. However the struggles regarding the company are all too real. This is our take on not only ourselves but the current state of Chicago theater. The text is created using real conversations between Jake and Steak as well as "classic" Hate/Lab found text.

Adapted by Rick Paul. Performed by Mike McKune. Cecilie Keenan – The Door Appreciation Society The Door Appreciation Society grew from a fascination with doors and portals. The first, probably, being the door in the Twilight Zone Series. While seeking to find others with the same fascination, no one could definitively say why they were attracted to doors but most everyone said they were. I looked at hidden doors of the mind and the spirit to try and piece together my own narrative to see if I can explain the importance of doors both real ones and those that are all around us. Wendy Jo Carlton - The Trouble with Tenders The Trouble with Tenders follows Elena, a breast cancer survivor obsessed with perfect chicken tenders and getting her sense of taste back after a double mastectomy, whose girlfriend Maya dismisses her experiences as delusions. Through a surreal encounter with her surgeon who presents a jar containing her toy-truck-tumor, and a hooded stranger asking for a tire pump, Elena realizes she's been suppressing her need for pleasure and humor in her relationship. Using dark comedy and magical realism, the play explores why Elena nervously but decisively breaks up with Maya to pursue romance with Chaz, a therapy cat puppet who believes in all of her dark magic.

Chicago cabaret-rock band The Crooked Mouth headlines. The Full Moon Vaudeville stretches back all the way to the '90s, when Curious Theatre Branch lived and worked at The Lunar Cabaret on Lincoln Avenue. There was a luminous full moon mural on the back wall, painted by Grace Amandes, and artists would perform in front of that wonderful moon. As the Full Moon tradition continues, we invite participants from the festival (and their friends, moms, and audiences) to join us at this celebratory opening ceremony, akin to smashing a champagne bottle on a ship.
