By Jan Hieggelke Verified| Newcity Verified If you’re a longtime Chicagoan like me, you think you know most Chicago history, at least since World War II. Which is why when we learn new things, they’re that much more rewarding. A few things I learned working on this edition of Newcity:I knew nothing at all about Florence Price and her breakthrough debut as the first Black woman composer performed by a major American orchestra when the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed her work way back in 1933.
By Jan Hieggelke Verified| NewCity Stage@ RECOMMENDEDEntering Trap Door’s small space to see “The Ugly One” feels like a trap door illusion. You sense you’re entering the realm of an earnest, boot-strapped, barren black box theater, the kind that dishes out arcane, plodding absurdist shows. There’s a simple black platform stage, no furniture. Two barefoot actors stare blankly onstage as the audience fills the theater’s two rows of seats. You’d better strap in, however.
