The performance will take place at 8 PM at Davenport's Piano Bar, 1383 N. Milwaukee Ave., Chicago. There is no admission charge, however there is a two drink minimum.

"Banned Together: A Censorship Cabaret" is a celebration of songs and scenes from shows that have been censored or challenged on America's stages, created to raise awareness around issues of censorship and free expression in the theater.  The performance will feature selections from Almost, Maine, Angels in America, Cabaret, Chicago, Rent, Sister Mary Ignatius Explains it All for You, and more, with contextual commentary by DLDF President John Weidman. In addition to this Chicago performance, "Banned Together" will also be performed across the country in New York, Miami, and San Francisco, as part of the Banned Books Week activities.

The Dramatists Legal Defense Fund is a non-profit organization created by the Dramatists Guild to advocate for free expression in the dramatic arts and a vibrant public domain for all, and to educate the public about the industry standards surrounding theatrical production and about the protections afforded dramatists under copyright law.
