This culminating production of Chicago Youth Shakespeare's six-week summer program brings together high school students from communities throughout the Chicago area, including Hyde Park, Bronzeville, Ukrainian village, Edgewater, Ashburn, Ravenswood, Austin, Oak Park, River Forest, and Naperville. Julius Caesar examines the private-self, the public-self, and celebrity. In the play, the title character returns home to Rome a war hero with his popularity at its peak; but some of his friends and fellow senators fear he has too much power. This fear sets into motion a series of events that will change the course of human history. All performances will take place in the Hoover-Leppen Theater at Center on Halsted 3656 N Halsted St. Chicago, IL 60613 ------------------------------------------------------------------- PREVEW PERFORMANCE--Thursday, July 30 at 7:30pm -Free to high school students! -Adults: $10 suggested donation OPENING NIGHT--Friday, July 31 at 7:30pm -General Admission: $15 SHOW #2--Saturday, August 1 at 3:00pm -General Admission: $15 Tickets Available at: http://cyshakes.brownpapertickets.com/
