Everyone is safe and no one is injured, but we recognize how unsettling and distressing this was for all involved,” the theater said in a statement.

Chicago Shakespeare Theater has been producing pop-up performances in neighborhood parks across the Chicago Park District for 11 years. This year’s show, “ShakesFest: A Chicago Shakespeare Community Cabaret,” is an “exuberant musical revue of songs riffing on familiar lines from Shakespeare,” according to the theater.
