Another Henry 4 Alert

Stockyards Theatre Project's production of Henry 4 (Part 1) that I mentioned before it opened has been getting a fair bit of attention. WGN's Morning News ran a segment that featured Elizabeth Styles and Stacie Barra fighting with broadswords in what is the climactic confrontation of the play. The Chicago Tribune ran a preview article the weekend the show opened. And WBEZ, Chicago's NPR affiliate, is recording a segment tomorrow for Eight Forty-Eight, its local magazine show that runs after Morning Edition. If there's advance notice of when it's going to run, I'll post the info.

Henry 4 is on for two more weekends at the Theatre Building, 1225 W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago. As I wrote before, there's cross-gender casting in some of the main roles (although the genders only cross one way--there are no guys in drag, but lots of chicks with broadswords [I mean that literally--you can come and decide the metaphorical truth of it yourself]). Reserve your tickets before it's too late.
