CATCH AS CATCH CAN
Written by Mia Chung
Directed by ensemble member Amy Morton
When a prodigal son returns to blue collar New England, his homecoming sets off a spiraling crisis for two families, threatening not only their relationships but their very identities. In Mia Chung’s wildly inventive Catch as Catch Can, three actors take on six roles, bridging generation and gender, in a theatrical tour-de-force that upends the kitchen sink drama and asks what happens when we refuse to play the roles we’re prescribed. Spanning hilarity, stunning virtuosity and outright horror, this ferocious Chicago premiere—featuring an all-ensemble cast—must be witnessed to be believed.
CATCH AS CATCH CAN WILL BE PERFORMED IN THE DOWNSTAIRS THEATER.
Show Runs from June 04 – July 12, 2026
Open Captions will available for the June 25th performance at 7:30pm.

About this event
Catch as Catch Can – Open Caption Performance at Steppenwolf Theatre Company is featured on the Project Awaken Get Active calendar as part of adaptive sports, recreation, arts, and community programming for people with disabilities across Chicagoland. Project Awaken brings together listings from trusted Chicago-area partners so people with spinal cord injuries, mobility disabilities, and visual impairments can find welcoming ways to get active, connect with others, and try something new.
Events like this typically welcome participants of varying abilities along with their families, friends, sighted guides, and volunteers, and many are free to attend. If you are new to adaptive sports or recreation, it helps to reach out to the host organization ahead of time with any access questions, ask whether specialized equipment is provided, and bring a companion if that makes you more comfortable. Taking that first step — showing up, asking, trying — is what getting active is all about.
Please confirm the date, time, location, cost, and any registration requirements on the official event or organizer page before attending, as details can change. To find more opportunities, explore our full events calendar, browse Get Active grants and resources, or join the Get Connected peer-support community.
