Citing “additional time for artistic development prior to the show’s scheduled Chicago opening in September,” Goodman Theatre’s artistic director Robert Falls today announced that the Aida Karic-directed “Joan D’Arc,” its planned world-premiere adaptation of Friedrich Schiller’s “Die Jungfrau Von Orléans (The Maid of Orléans),” would be replaced on the fall schedule by the Chicago premiere of Dael Orlandersmith’s solo performance, “Stoop Stories,” which will run September 11-October 11 in the Owen Bruner Theatre. A spoken-word artist best known for her play “Yellowman,” a finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize, Orlandersmith also received an OBIE Award for “Beauty’s Daughter.”
