Based on actual events, Changing Channels is set backstage at the DuMont Television Network in New York City in 1952. It is the peak of the “Red Scare” and 151 actors, authors, and journalists are put on the Red Channels list, with alleged ties to communism. As Cold War hysteria sweeps the nation, actress Maggie Carlin finds herself accused just as her hit comedy show is taking off.
Running time is just under two hours with one intermission.

COVENANT at Goodman Theatre in the Owen

Sat, May 16 · 2:00 PM CDT

Goodman Theatre, 170 N Dearborn St, Chicago, IL, US

COVENANT
by York Walker
Directed by Malkia Stampley
https://www.goodmantheatre.org/show/covenant/

“Everybody got a secret.”

Expect one devilish twist after another in Covenant, a mythic and suspenseful new play hailed as “blackout-and-blood-curdling-scream deliciousness” (New York Magazine), “undeniably spooky (and) absolutely enjoyable” (TheaterMania). He left the small Georgia town a struggling guitarist—and returned a blues star. As rumors of a darker deal abound, it becomes clear that he’s not the only one with a secret…or seeking salvation. This “striking Southern gothic work” (New York Times) explores the power of belief and the thin line between rumor and truth.

Running Time: TBD
