"Hymn" - Review by Carol Moore
**** Highly Recommended "Hymn" is the play I never saw coming! I knew it would be a good play. After all, it’s a Chicago Shakespeare production – and it’s directed by Ron OJ Parsons, a terrific director. I just didn’t know it would be that good! I laughed, I cried, I even danced in my seat. Kudos to everyone involved! By the way, although the actors aren’t wearing microphones, I heard every word they said – even sitting in the dress circle! Hurry and get your tickets now. 4 BIG Spotlights
