The students from the 26 participating high schools celebrated Shakespeare's language along with their own voices.
The Chicago Shakespeare Theater explained the choice of play.
"Power, revenge, legacy. Invincible determination, fierce femme characters, cut-throat conspiring, curses, untamable ambition—for all these delicious and relevant reasons, Richard III seemed the perfect play for students to be exploring right now," the theater wrote."And its complex characters and action-packed world give students a playground for their imaginations."
This was the first in-person Slam in three years. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated virtual programming in 2021 and 2022.
