Last year, Steppenwolf Theatre was asked to present a free Millennium Park program which was so successful that the company was asked to return and present the City of Chicago’s official 9/11 commemorative performance this year, which takes on a special significance on this fifth anniversary of the events of that day. Featuring members of the Steppenwolf ensemble, participants from Steppenwolf for Young Adults and featuring musical accompaniment by the Chicago Children’s Choir under the direction of its artistic director Josephine Lee, this one-night-only performance on the anniversary itself will explore the notion of citizenship on a citywide, national and global level.

Steppenwolf Theatre’s free 9/11 commemoration takes place September 11 at 6:30pm, Millennium Park’s Pritzker Pavilion, Michigan between Randolph and Monroe, (312)742-1168.
