Between the Lines with Robert Eric Shoemaker
Our Between the Lines series include a pre-show lecture led by a Chicago luminary who discuss themes related to the play. Afterwards, the lecturer will join the artists of the production for a post-show talkback.
We are thrilled that Robert Eric Shoemaker, poet and author, will be leading our pre-show lecture for Dear Elizabeth!
This season’s Between the Lines performances are on Sunday afternoons. Doors open at 1:30, followed by the pre-show lecture at 1:40pm and the curtain at 2:30pm. Stick around for a talkback after the show!
