Program Description

Event Details

We're excited to welcome back Chicago theater performance artist, Jillann Gabrielle, who specializes with panache in one woman shows based on the life of notorious female legends that she writes and performs herself. This portrayal is of none other than the beloved Jackie O!

Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis has been an international iconic figure since she married John Fitzgerald Kennedy and then became First Lady of the United States. Everyone who was alive during the tragedy of JFK’s assassination remembers where they were when they heard the news and then watching the funeral on TV—which Jackie orchestrated. An extremely private individual she tried to raise her two children to be as normal as possible and to shun the press. Oh, Jackie O! finds Jackie returning home from the doctor after she is told she has Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma—and her life flashes before her.
