Chicago – One more time, virtual and online. YippieFest 2021 will air on Twitch TV and through their website on Sunday, September 26th (7pm start). The freewheeling festival is usually a live theater and music event every August, but with the pandemic still lingering the show must go on, virtual and online. For more info, click YippieFest.com.
YippieFest premiered in 2017, taking on the spirit of the Mary-Arrchie Theater’s Abbie Hoffman Festival, which began in 1989. The live theater version is three days of 24/7 performances, celebrating the best in Chicago stage, music and comedy. YippieFest had to go virtual last year, as the rest of the world did during the pandemic, and following Chicago protocol and the uncertainty in the whole community, chose again to do one spectacular night of online TV entertainment on Sunday, September 26th.
