Wyoming, 1963. Against a vast and unforgiving landscape of rural poverty and deeply conservative communities, two young ranch hands — Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist — take seasonal jobs on Brokeback Mountain. What begins as a summer of hard work soon becomes something neither man expected.
Spanning twenty years, this sweeping story of hidden love and longing is brought to life with soulful, original Country Western songs performed live onstage.
On-site parking is available in the Navy Pier garages, with entrance via Illinois Street. Weekend traffic can be heavy, so plan extra time. You may also pre-purchase parking online through the Navy Pier website.
Navy Pier is accessible via CTA bus routes 29 (State), 65 (Grand), and 66 (Chicago). You can also take the Red Line to Grand and transfer to the 65 Grand bus heading east. The #124 Navy Pier Express runs from Ogilvie Transportation Center and Union Station during peak times.
After the performance, let’s keep the conversation going! We can grab a bite on Navy Pier and share reactions to the show together. Have a favorite spot on Navy Pier? Comment and let us know — suggestions are always appreciated.
And for those heading north, the evening continues at 6:00 PM at Big Chicks in Uptown for our monthly social. Come for one, come for both, or make it a full day with CPT!
