Steppenwolf for Young Adults Presents THE BROTHER SIZE Oct. 2-19
Tumblr media
Returning to the stage for the first time since its celebrated Chicago premiere, Steppenwolf for Young Adults (SYA) presents The Brothers Size by ensemble member Tarell Alvin McCraney (Academy Award Moonlight, co-creator of MS. BLAKK FOR PRESIDENT) and directed by acclaimed Chicago director Monty Cole. Both shows in SYA’s 2019/20 Season explore the question, “How do you navigate family history while trying to write your own?” Ogun Size is hardworking and heartbroken. Oshoosi Size is recently returned home from prison and trying to be anywhere but. In this fierce and honest look at the complex bonds of brotherhood, Tarell Alvin McCraney weaves together poetry, music and Yoruba mythology to magnify the tug-of-war between freedom and the need to belong somewhere, to something, to someone. Public performances of The Brothers Size begin Friday, October 4, 2019 and run through Saturday, October 19, 2019 in the Downstairs Theatre (1650 N Halsted St).  Single tickets ($20-$30) are now on sale through Audience Services at 312-335-1650 or steppenwolf.org. Weekday performances are reserved for school groups; more than 15,000 Chicago Public School students will experience the production. Interested in bringing a school group? More info at steppenwolf.org/education. Director Monty Cole shares, “The Brothers Size has always been one of my favorite plays. I’m in love with its vulnerable language about one’s duty to their family, culture, nation — and their own freedom. When I was in high school, I remember being so excited to go to SYA productions. It’s an honor to bring this play back to the Steppenwolf stage for young adults to see themselves reflected.” Relaxed/Sensory-Friendly Performance Steppenwolf is pleased to present a Relaxed/Sensory-Friendly performance for The Brothers Size on Saturday, October 19 at 3pm. Relaxed/Sensory-Friendly performances feature a relaxed performance environment and minor adjustments to sensory effects such as lighting and sound cues. House lights will be left up at a low level, and it’s okay for audience members to make noise, move, and leave the theater. Social narratives and character guides will be shared in advance of guests’ visit, and a quiet area will be designated in a section of the lobby. For more information, please email [email protected].

Forget the Nou Camp, THIS was Manchester United’s greatest comeback
Bring up Manchester United 's Treble in 1999 and thoughts jump towards the crowning glory of it all with that one Champions League night inside the Nou Camp.
No, not the 3-3 draw with Barcelona in the group stage, but the final itself. Bayern Munich that saw Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turn a heartbreaking defeat into one of the all-time dramatic wins and climaxes to any football match.
But you need to go back to the previous match in the competition to see why United were the greatest team in the world at the time, with what is also arguably their best ever performance in Europe.
United had been on the back foot in the tie ever since Antonio Conte fired the Italian champions into a 25th-minute lead in the first leg at Old Trafford
Ryan Giggs hit a stoppage-tim he equalizer on home soil but United still had to score in Turin
Twenty years ago, on April 21 1999, Sir Alex Ferguson's side had their work cut out when they traveled to Juventus for the second leg of their semi-final, having only drawn the Old Trafford clash 1-1 – Ryan Giggs netting in stoppage-time following Antonio Conte's first-half strike.
Juventus had Carlo Ancelotti as manager
About the only positive for the Red Devils heading into the game they were facing a Juventus side who were on course to finish a disastrous seventh in Series A and record their worst top-flight placing since 1962.
But no-one really took that statistic at face value and it was easy to see why when the Bianconeri, who had featured in the three previous Champions League finals, named a starting line-up featuring Zinedine Zidane, Edgar Davids, Filippo Inzaghi and Conte – all managed by Carlo Ancelotti.
United needed to win – or at least secure a high-scoring draw – to progress but would have to do so without key man Giggs.
The first-leg savior had picked up a knock in his side's other incredible '99 semi-final a week earlier when the Welsh wizard scored one of the greatest FA Cup goals to dump out Arsenal.
Juve had a star-studded squad including Edgar Davids (left) and Zinedine Zidane
Ferguson made few errors inside the Stadio delle Alpine but one glaring one came in the form of being complacent in dealing with Juventus's main attacking threat, Inzaghi.
The United boss once described the striker as 'born offside' yet the Italian poacher had the hosts 2-0 up within 11 minutes, showing typically predatory instincts to tap hom e following a far-post cross, then having a little fortune after seeing a shot deflect off Jaap Stam about Peter Schmeichel.
United suddenly were 3-1 down on aggregate, shown to be struggling defensively and needing two goals against a side who were not afraid to rough up the visitors with a few questionable challenges – even by 1990s standards.
Filippo Inzaghi got Juventus off to a perfect start when he scored after just six minutes
The Italy striker then doubled Juventus's lead to give them a 3- 1 aggregate advantage
But United ignored being drawn into needless scraps off the ball, kept their composition and so on dominated proceedings.
David Beckham in particular looked to have been identified as a target by the Italian side as a weak link mentally, with this match coming less than a year after his petulance saw him sent off for England against Argentina at the World Cup.
The late challenges on the midfielder went 'unrewarded' for the hosts. The midfielder had gained maturity throughout the campaign and refused to react to the roughhousing as his focus was more on starting United's comeback.
Keane started the comeback for United when he headed home a Beckham corner
But the midfielder was then booked for a foul on Zidane, causing him to miss the final
Scholes would later suffer the same fate as he was given a yellow card by referee Urs Meier
MATCH FACTS
Juventus: Peruzzi, Ferrara, Iuliano (Montero 46), Birindelli (Amoruso 46), Pessotto, Di Livio (Fonseca 80), Conte, Davids, Deschamps, Zidane, Inzaghi
Subs not used: Rampulla, Tudor, Tacchinardi, Esnaider
Manager: Carlo Ancelotti
Booked: Davids
Goals: Inzaghi 6, 11
Manchester United: Schmeichel, G. Neville, Johnsen, Stam, Irwin, Beckham, Butt, Keane, Blomqvist ( Scholes 68), Cole , Yorke
Subs not used: Van der Gouw, May, P. Neville, Brown, Sheringham, Solskjaer
Manager: Sir Alex Ferguson
Goals: Keane 24, Yorke 34, Cole 83
Booked: Keane, Scholes
Referee: Urs Meier (Switzerland)
Attendance: 60,806
Beckham soon got that going in the 24th minute when his typically pinpoint corner delivery found Roy Keane attacking the near post and glancing a header across goal to make it 2-1 on the night and 3-2 on aggregate.
The dream of a Champions League final was back on for United but soon over for Keane, whose late sliding tackle on Zidane earned him a booking and a suspension for the final.
It was perhaps typical of the Irishman's application that he showed minim all reaction to being ruled out of the biggest game of his career and would go on to be United's star man in Turin.
Sheringham and Solskjaer were the heroes in the final but the stand-out partnership in the attack during the Treble season was the lethal combination of Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole.
Juve could not cope with the duo or their link-up play, so it came as little surprise when Cole's high cross into the box was headed home by his strike partner just 10 minutes after Keane's equalizer.
Despite conceding two early goals, Stam soon got to grips in dealing with Inzaghi's threat
Yorke leaps in the air to celebrate after scoring 11 minutes before half-time, leveling the tie 3-3 on aggregate and giving the Red Devils the overall lead on away goals
Cole wrapped up victory on the night seven minutes from time at the Stadio delle Alpi
United, now leading the tie on away goals, still kept on attacking as Cole and Yorke running around the hosts, with the latter hitting the post before half-time.
So rattled was Ancelotti by the hammering his team were taking on home soil, he made two half-time changes, albeit one of them enforced with Mark Iuliano departing injured.
Now it was Juve attacking for much of the second half, but 'Operation Beckham' was still in force judging by a terrible lunge from Davids on the midfielder, which earned him a booking, but one he could have been sent off for
Substitute Paolo Montero later narrowly escaped a booking for just as reckless a lunge on Beckham. Frustration was growing at both ends of the pitch for the hosts, with Stam marshalling United's defense to deal with Juve's probes for an equalizer.
Sir Alex Ferguson celebrates with coaching staff on the bench following their comeback win
Unused substitute Ole Gunnar Solskjaer salutes the United fans along with Cole and Butt
Keane's booking was evidence that within limits United were still willing to dish ou after few bruises and it was perhaps a little surprise that in a game with a number of poor challenges, Paul Scholes would come and get booked for a terrible studs-up tackle on Didier Deschamps.
He too would miss the Ciro Ferrara was incredibly lucky to stay on the pitch when he pushed Cole in the face following a tussle on the ball.
The amount of poor challenges and confrontations would be enough to ruin any match – or at least the flow stunts. Yet incredibly it was all just a background feature for an incredible match or end-to-end attacking.
Inzaghi had a goal disallowed while United went close to a third at the other end with Denis Irwin hitting the post.

Time ti cked away but United landed the hammer blow with seven minutes left when Yorke broke through on goal before being hauled down by Angelo Peruzzi. It looked a certain penalty but play continued as Cole was on hand in the final loose ball to seal a famous victory.
Changing-room footage after the game just showed what it meant to the players, with Dwight Yorke high fiving all his team mates – as well as Sir Bobby Charlton. Just as suited and booted Giggs enjoyed the occasion.
Perhaps more noticeably the visual disappointment from Keane and Scholes. Having played such a crucial role in getting United to the final, not even they could hide having a crestfallen look now had time to digest they would not play the final.

It was not just the impressive nature of United's comeback to win the tie that made this matc h so memorable – it was the non-stop mix of attacking football, aggression and talent that exploded on the Turin pitch that night.
The late 1990s was a blessed era in football. 'Parking the bus' was yet to drive its way into the football lexicon and it was still just about honest enough to have a few robust challenges that did not lead to the victim rolling around to make the most of it at every opportunity.
It was also starting to breed a generation of many highly technical footballers who could ride such challenges but also display admirable skill. Some of Zidane's touches in this game had United's defense bamboozled.
The combination led to many attacking games, with a healthy dose of highly-skilled players and aggressive defensive strategies, all helping generate an atmosphere within the crowd which further sparked events on the pitch. Football has never had it so good and this game was the advertisement for it.
HOW SPORTSMAIL'S JEFF POWELL REPORTED UNITED'S VICTORY
The miracle worker of Turin has his European Cup Final at last. Alex Ferguson, manager beyond peer and now the messiah of Manchester, left his players to receive the acclamation of Englishmen and Italians alike for this astonishing act of resurrection.
Ferguson, the great conductor in this grand opera, was already moving on in his mind. The positively Final performance of this season of soaring achievement will be in Barcelona on May 26, when United will share the vaulting stage of the Well Camp with the German technocrats of Bayern Munich.
But for all its triumphal importance and potential for jubilation it is hard to conceive that May night surpassing the drama here. Whenever football lovers gather to reflect on the beauty of their game they will talk of the night Manchester United gifted Juventus a two-goal start before calmly proceeding to place a shroud about Turin. This will rank forever among the most magnificent comebacks in the annals of the European game. The first Manchester goal in this city for 15 years was or itself a small miracle so when the second and third came down from the gods they made believers of us all.
How Sportsmail reported Manchester United's semi-final win at Juventus in 1999
The gospel according to St Fergie ordained this as United's long-awaited season in the European sun and the recovery from two down brought a Nostradamus quality to his prediction.
The forces of destiny were indeed at work in the Stadio delle Alpi and the only pity was the first of the Ferguson disciples who turned the water into wine then eliminated himself from the final.
Roy Keane struck where every United footballer since Norman Whiteside in 1984 had failed. Without this man and his lunging goal this task would have been beyond them and Ferguson will have cursed the foul on Zinedine Zidane which in Keane's second yellow card in the Champions League. To his own enormous credit the true competitor put the premature end of his Barcelona dream to the back of his mind and kept driving his team mates onwards.
It was always going to take courage or a self-sacrificial order as well as a measure of brilliance if United were to reason the hesitant performance in the first leg in Manchester which had almost put Juventus beyond them.
When they compounded that flimsy home draw by conceding twice in the first 10 minutes the scale of the achievement required of them was as towering as the mountains behind the stage.
Ferguson had preached the need for absolute concentration as well as total commitment from his players and in that context the first lapse was unforgivable.
Not only was Zidane left in space to take a return pass from his own short corner but Peter Schmeichel failed to react to the cross which was with Filippo Inzaghi at the far post. Add to that the fluke of Inzaghi's ensuing deflection off Jaap Stam and the stage was set for one of the most astonishing transformations in the 31 years since United's only win in Europe's cup of champions.
Ferguson had thought long and hard about whether to complicate the tactical issue for the Italians, who traditionally prefer to play against two orthodox strikers, by replacing either Cole or Yorke with the linking football of Sheringham.
His instinct persuaded him to go with his expensive duo despite their recent goal shortage and once again the pre-eminent manager in the British game was proved right, Yorke equalizing before creating the chance for Cole to claim the Final glory.
Not until much later, after the Italians had gone home, did Ferguson return to the scene of his masterpiece. The United fans were still awaiting release from the stage and their roaring response paid private homage to their spiritual leader.

NELSON RODRIGUES ESTREIA PEÇA DO DRAMATURGO AMERICANO CHRISTOPHER SHINN
http://www.piscitellientretenimentos.com/nelson-rodrigues-estreia-peca-do-dramaturgo-americano-christopher-shinn/
NELSON RODRIGUES ESTREIA PEÇA DO DRAMATURGO AMERICANO CHRISTOPHER SHINN
Com direção de Marcus Faustini, O Filho do Presidente é o primeiro texto do premiado autor a ganhar montagem no país
O Teatro da CAIXA Nelson Rodrigues recebe, de 2 a 19 de novembro de 2017 (quinta a domingo), sempre às 19h, o espetáculo O Filho do Presidente, o primeiro texto do premiado dramaturgo americano Christopher Shinn a ganhar montagem no Brasil. A peça, que tem direção de Marcus Faustini e tradução de João Polessa Dantas, é um drama político e familiar com doses de humor que traz à tona temas como liberdade de expressão, sexualidade, privacidade, fundamentalismo religioso e a luta pelos direitos das pessoas LGBT. O projeto tem patrocínio da Caixa Econômica Federal e do Governo Federal.
Com 45 anos de carreira, Anselmo Vasconcelos interpreta John Sr., um candidato à presidência dos Estados Unidos que vive uma conturbada relação com seu filho John, um jovem gay universitário vivido por Felipe Cabral. Ambientada na sede do Partido Democrata, em um hotel no sul dos EUA, a trama transcorre, em tempo real, na noite da apuração dos votos. O drama familiar se instaura quando fotos polêmicas de John numa festa são divulgadas na internet: ele vestido de Maomé e seu melhor amigo Matt (Hugo Lobo), de Pastor Bob, um pastor evangélico que seria aliado do futuro presidente.
A partir desse momento, John fica sob crescente pressão do pai, forte candidato a vencer as eleições, da mãe, Jessica (Ingra Lyberato), e dos assessores do partido – o judeu Marc (Rodrigo Candelot) e Tracy (Vanessa Pascale) – para que ele faça um pedido público de desculpas. Enquanto os personagens entram e saem do quarto onde John está com Matt, a fragilidade e as mágoas dessa relação familiar vão sendo reveladas.
“É muito bom fazer um texto com essa qualidade dramatúrgica e com temas relevantes. A peça é muito atual: evangélico, muçulmano, gay, eleição, um vídeo que viraliza”, destaca o diretor Marcus Faustini. “Tem muito rancor e ressentimento nessa família. O filho tentou se matar quando era bem jovem. Os pais sempre colocavam a agenda política na frente de tudo”, revela.
A peça estreou em 2008, no Royal Court Theatre, em Londres, com o ator Eddie Redmayne (protagonista dos filmes A Teoria de Tudo e A Garota Dinamarquesa) no papel do jovem filho gay do candidato à presidência. Sucesso de público, a crítica inglesa não poupou elogios, e a montagem foi indicada ao prêmio Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Play.
 Idealizador da montagem, o ator, roteirista e diretor Felipe Cabral tomou conhecimento da obra de Christopher Shinn numa conversa com um amigo. “Ele me indicou outro texto dele, Teddy Ferrara, sobre um garoto gay que se mata na escola. Comprei o livro e comecei a ler. Logo depois, numa viagempara Nova York, aproveitei para conhecer outras peças dele”, lembra Felipe. “Comprei Now or Later, mas só fui ler dias depois do ataque terrorista ao jornal francês Charlie Hebdo. Fiquei impressionado. Parecia que ele tinha escrito o texto naquele momento do atentado, em 2015, e não em 2008”, conta o idealizador.
Sobre o diretor:
Diretor de peças reconhecidas como Capitu, Eles Não Usam Black Tie e A Luta Secreta de Maria da Encarnação. Em 2009, escreveu o livro Guia Afetivo da Periferia, que narra a trajetória de um jovem de periferia pela cidade do Rio. O romance recebeu críticas positivas do Jornal O Globo, Revista LER (Portugal), Revista BRAVO, entre outros, e faz parte do programa de pós-graduação da UNB, UERJ e UFRJ.
Em 2011, criou a Agência de Redes para Juventude, programa que capacita jovens de comunidades para produzirem seus próprios projetos no lugar onde vivem. No ano seguinte, a Agência foi premiada e escolhida pela Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian para ser implantada em Londres e Manchester (UK). Ainda em 2012, lançou o Festival Home Theatre, que leva cenas de teatro seguidas de jantares e conversas em 50 casas da cidade. O projeto foi vencedor do Prêmio Shell de Teatro 2013 na categoria Inovação.
 Sobre o autor:
Christopher Shinn é autor de 12 peças incluindo Now or Later (título original de O Filho do Presidente); Where Do We Live, vencedora do prêmio Obie de melhor texto; Dying City finalista do prêmio Pulitzer; Picked e Teddy Ferrara.
Estreou como dramaturgo em 1998, aos 23 anos, com a peça Four, no Royal Court Theatre (Inglaterra). Desde então, muitas de suas obras foram encenadas nos Estados Unidos, em teatros como o Lincoln Center Theater, o Manhattan Theatre Club e muitos outros. Atualmente, Shinn, de 42 anos, é professor de dramaturgia na The New School for Drama, em Nova York.

Call 786-216-7785 for more details. 
SOUTH BEACH — A new mega club has arrived to South Beach.  Called ORA, the 10,000-square-foot, multimillion dollar space features artwork by Banksy and Murakami amongst others. If dancing the night away isn’t your speed, then head to its upstairs “Anti-Social Room,” which is decked out in leather seating and boiserie paneled walls, with craft cocktails by industry vet Rodger Gillespie like cocktail flights that serve three mini versions of classics like martinis and Collins. ORA is now open at 2000 Collins Avenue. 
MIDTOWN — Making its debut during Art Basel last month, Midtown’s Bitter Truth is the brainchild of some of Miami’s favorite bartenders including Bryan Canales, Teddy Collins, Sarah Porter and Ryan Alfrey. The space features a full bar with seasonal craft beers and cocktails, plus “steampunk” decor like unfinished hand-cut Dade Pine bars that even sport the original bark. The space is now open Wednesday to Saturday from 4 p.m. to 5 a.m. at 3252 NE 1st Avenue, Suite 124.
SOUTH BEACH — Falling in the more low-key category is newcomer South Pointe Tavern. Housed in the South of Fifth neighborhood it claims to have the largest selection of whiskeys and tequilas on the beach, plus a beverage menu created by Rob Ferrara featuring takes on classics like Negronis and Margaritas. A small food menu is also available with items like flatbreads, charcuterie, salads and paninis. South Pointe Tavern is now open daily Monday – Thursday 11 a.m. – midnight, Fridays & Saturdays 11 a.m. – 2 a.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. – 11 p.m.
SOUTH BEACH — Debuting inside the AC Hotel is its newest bar Gin + Collins. The highlight of the menu is — no surprise here — gin, with a menu of variations of the gin and tonic being the star. Other types of craft cocktails are also on hand, along with a Mexican-inspired bar bites. Gin + Collins is open Sunday to Thursday from 5p.m. to 11 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 5 p.m. to midnight at 2912 Collins Avenue.
