As an added offering this summer, First Folio is proud to present a special staged reading of Shylock and His Daughter. Originally written for the Yiddish Art Theater and then translated into English, this play tells the same story that Shakespeare told—only from Shylock’s perspective. This production will utilize the same cast as our mainstage production of The Merchant of Venice.

“Truly riveting–a must see!” – Jan Lisa Huttner, JUF News

Over two-and-a-half decades we have mounted over 80 productions, produced 14 world premieres, and 6 commissions. We have had more shows directed by women in the past 25 years than almost any other Equity theater in the Chicago area. We also led the way in opportunities for women designers, resulting in multiple Jeff Nominations and Awards for the many women who have worked here. Thank you all for your steadfast support through all these years. We will miss you!
