Nicole Brooks' (writer/director) incredible new play, Her Honor Jane Byrne, the original run of which was halted days after it premiered and has now been remounted!
Set in three tense weeks amid 1981, Her Honor, Jane Byrne tells the story of Chicago's first woman mayor, Jane Byrne, and the storm that arose following her move to Cabrini Green. Starring UIC Theatre Director, Christine Dunford, this one-of-a-kind outing will feature a post-show discussion with Dr. Dunford!
