HotHouse/The Center for International Performance and Exhibition announced that it is reopening after an eight-month hiatus. Chicago’s HotHouse and Viaduct Theater announced that the two organizations have joined in a partnership to offer music and theater to Chicago audiences. During the month of April, performances will take place at the Viaduct Theater.

“We are excited to join forces with HotHouse,” said Viaduct Theater co-founder Robert Whitaker. “We have wanted to expand our music offerings for a while, and believe that a partnership with HotHouse will bring the expertise needed to make music at the Viaduct a success.”

“We always intended to re-open,” said HotHouse President Linda Michaels. “Although there were definitely some who doubted us.”

The first show is scheduled for April 5, and HotHouse members are invited to this show free of charge.

The April schedule, which spans a variety of genres including African, Latin and jazz, as well as visual arts and dance, is as follows:
April 5: Seneke Ensemble
