Come join your fellow Booth and Pritzker BSD alums and friends as we enjoy an afternoon matinee at the Court Theatre in Hyde Park.
Event Details
The Performance
We will be viewing Samuel Becket's play, Waiting for Godot, a thoughtful and haunting meditation on the meaning of human existence. The play takes place on a lonely country road, beneath a barren tree, where two vagabonds wait for a man named Mr. Godot. As the evening unfolds, a desperate, humorous, and unchanging universe is revealed that has delighted and challenged audiences for over half a century.
Resident Artist Ron OJ Parson (Seven Guitars) returns to direct this absurdist classic with an all-star cast featuring Court Theatre favorites A.C. Smith, Allen Gilmore, and Alfred Wilson.
Details
We will meet at the Court Theatre Lobby at 2:15 PM, where we will provide you with your admission ticket(s). The Matinee will begin at 2:30 PM and the play should wind up around 4:30-5:00 PM.
