Shot at The Edge Off-Broadway Theater, and on location in Rogers Park, our film version of Shakespeare's Macbeth features the talented young artists of the 2021-22 CYS Ensemble!
Together in Isolation...
When the pandemic brought an abrupt halt to live theatre programs and productions, CYS kept our young artists engaged and our community connected through our virtual, Together in Isolation series.

The Romeo & Juliet Project brought together 27 socially-distanced artists from across the country to read, discuss, and explore Shakespeare's most famous love story during a time of isolation. Featuring young artists and alumni of the CYS Ensemble alongside esteemed professional Shakespeare actors, The Romeo & Juliet Project premiered on YouTube for audiences free of charge, and was made possible in part by grants from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, DCASE, The Paul M Angell Family Foundation, The Illinois Humanities Council, and Merrill Lynch.
