Rhinoceros Theater Festival
20th Anniversary

Curious Theatre Branch

Center Portion’s founder and facilitator, Sheila Donohue, participated in Curious Theater Branch’s acclaimed fringe festival in its early days. She was excited to be part of the 20th anniversary incarnation of the Rhino, and celebrated its triumphant return to the Near Northwest side of Chicago.
