We can’t take bus trips right now but, thanks to the internet, we can explore the world from the comfort of our homes. Every Wednesday, we’re presenting a series of links to cultural institutions in Chicago and beyond. Today get your theatre fix with one of these short videos from Chicago Shakespeare and First Folio Theatre.

Watch Chicago Shakespeare actors perform readings of Shakespeare’s immortal poetry, listen to talks by Shakespeare scholars, or go backstage as embers of the production team demonstrate tricks of the trade. All this and more can be found at Chicago Shakespeare’s Shakes@Home page.

Then, head over to the Youtube channel of Oak Brook’s First Folio Theatre Company to listen to the best songs from the company’s performance history.
