Shattered Globe’s 35th season continues with the Midwest Premiere of Morning, Noon, and Night, a mind-bending exploration of teens, family, surveillance, and connection in a post-pandemic world by Obie Award-winning playwright Kirsten Greenidge, directed by SGT Associate Artistic Director AmBer Montgomery.

Previews start February 13. Performances run through March 28 at Theater Wit, 1229 W. Belmont Ave. in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. Tickets, on sale now, are $20-$60. For tickets and information, visit sgtheatre.org. For the latest updates, follow @shatteredglobe on Facebook and Instagram

It’s hard raising a teenager. For Mia and her daughter, Dailyn, it’s not going smoothly. They both want everything to be perfect when older sister Alex comes home for her birthday. But when an unsettling visitor steps out of the algorithm, their best laid plans glitch into pure chaos. Reality blurs in this sharp and stirring drama about how the “new normal” is pretty weird.

Morning, Noon, and Night is exactly right for this moment, as we navigate life after 2020,” said director AmBer Montgomery. “I hope this production provides a space to reflect on who we’ve become since the world shifted, to laugh at ourselves, to grieve what was lost, and to imagine how we can continue to care for one another as we step into an uncertain future. Through Kristen Greenidge’s extraordinary writing, through lots of magic and the wisdom of youth, this story reminds us of our resilience and the enduring strength of community. I am so honored to share it with Chicago.” 

Shattered Globe’s cast for Morning, Noon, and Night features SGT Ensemble Members Christina Gorman (she/her) as Heather and Leslie Ann Sheppard (she/her) as Miss Candice, with Hannah Antman (they/she) as Nat, Emefa Dzodzomenyo (she/her) as Dailyn, Kristin E. Ellis (she/her) as Mia and Soren Jimmie Williams (she/her) as Chloe.

The production team includes Jackie Fox (set/lighting designer), Kotryna Hilko (costume designer), Abboye Lawrence (projections designer), Persephone Lawrence-Wescott (props designer), Stephon Dorsey (sound designer), Sydni Charity Solomon (assistant director), Ariel Beller (stage manager), Emily Nicholas (assistant stage manager) and SGT Ensemble Member Adam Schulmerich (production manager).

Morning, Noon, and Night premiered at Company One Theatre in Boston in April 2024. Shattered Globe’s is the second production of Greenidge’s timely new play.
