by William Shakespeare directed by Barbara Gaines
In Chicago Shakespeare's Courtyard Theater
April 13 - June 24, 2007
For the 20th Anniversary Season, CST Artistic Director Barbara Gaines has chosen to direct one of Shakespeare's most passionate and haunting plays-a star-crossed love story rooted in the Trojan War-Troilus and Cressida. After seven years of war, few care about its original cause-the abduction of Helen by the Trojan prince-with each side consumed by infighting. Against this backdrop of intrigue, Troilus and Cressida's doomed love is, like so many others, destroyed by circumstance and deceit.
Approximate Running Time: 3 hours, 5 minutes (includes intermission)

Showing Through October 4
Hurricane on the Bayou will carry you on a journey deep into the soul-stirring heart of Louisiana-before, during and after the unprecedented devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Unfolding against the poignant backdrop of the most costly natural disaster in America's history, the film follows a group of four musicians as they explore the electrifying culture of New Orleans. Speed through the beautiful, alligator-filled bayous on airboats, hear personal stories of Hurricane Katrina, and learn about the rapidly disappearing wetlands that are New Orleans' first line of defense against deadly storms.
Narrated by Meryl Streep and driven by a rousing jazz, blues and gospel-fueled soundtrack, Hurricane on the Bayou is both a haunting documentary of a storm's human effects and a compelling call to restore Louisiana's wetlands, rebuild New Orleans and honor the place where America's most vibrant home-grown culture was born.
