Chicago Theater in June

I will be in Chicago June 2nd thru the 5th. Was looking at my theater options. I really have no interest in Hamilton again. But I might check out the exhibit. I am not sure if I want to sit thru Winers Tale at the Goodman. Has anyone seen it? Anyone have opinions or comments about what is playing at Steppenwolf? I seem to be there that week when things are closing or opening.

West Side Story is not playing that week. Just starting to look into SIX.. but I don't know if it is my thing. I really don't know much about it. Also looking into Ms Blakk. That could be good or awful.

Southern Gothic sounds interesting.

David Cromer's production of "NEXT TO NORMAL" is playing at Writers Theatre as is Caryl Churchill's "A NUMBER". Writers Theatre is probably Chicago's leading LORT theatre whos name isn't Steppenwolf or Goodman. It's up in Glencoe, a short METRA commuter train ride from the city. The theatre is almost right next to the train station.

If you're looking at a smaller theatre you can't EVER go wrong by Remy Bumppo. They are doing a Steve Deitz play while you are there. This is a company of Chicago actors who have never let me down. As good as any "professional" actors I've ever seen in New York or London.

I think I am gravitating towards the Winters Tale. But really.. nothing is really grabbing my attention.
