A new production about house music will run Oct. 20-21 in Chicago.

"In the Beginning There Was House"—inspired by the life and work of the late Chicago house-music legend Frankie Knuckles—is a new work from Steven Sapp and Mildred Ruiz-Sapp.

Sapp and Ruiz-Sapp will be in residence throughout the 2023-24 Northwestern University academic year as part of the newly established Astere E. Claeyssens Artist-in-Residence program. In addition to teaching and mentoring students, they will be developing In the Beginning There was House with Obie-Award winning director Chay Yew.
