Revolution(s)

Put your hands on the wheel of history.

When soldier and aspiring musician Hampton Weems comes home from Afghanistan, he finds the South Side of Chicago is also occupied territory—and he’s accidentally joined the resistance. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave and The Nightwatchman) Tom Morello brings a ground-breaking new punk/metal/hip-hop musical to our intimate Owen Theatre about a young artist finding his voice, why violence is as American as cherry pie, and how young radicals—across generations—are still motivated by love.

Recommended for ages 15+

This production contains mature themes including violence, death and intimacy. It features strong language and the sound of gunshots.


With original music from Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famer Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, presented in our intimate Owen Theatre, Revolution(s) is a musical unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Part punk, part metal, part hip-hop musical (with lots and lots of guitar solos). Learn more about Revolution(s).
