Tribeca Festival World Premiere 2025 – This revelatory new take on Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy drops you inside the fractured mind of the prince. With breathtaking binaural sound design by Tony-Award winner Mikhail Fiksel and starring Daniel Kyri (Chicago Fire), this is Hamlet as you’ve never heard it.

OFFICIAL SELECTION -- Tribeca Festival Audio Premieres. It’s 2098 and the Republic of Chicago has what the world needs: fresh water. But with new opportunities come new threats, especially for a pair of siblings on the South Side. Can the people come together to save their city—and each other? Combining sci-fi and music, politics and poetry, Lake Song is a collective response to our times, and a shared dream of our future.

Every story is a crossroads. A diverse company of Chicago artists produces new audio dramas—recorded live—and stages freewheeling audience conversations about them. Led by Founder and Executive Producer Jeremy McCarter, Make-Believe shares suspenseful, moving, hilarious stories, and tries to discover how they shape our world.
