Hollis Resnik leaves a legacy at Court

We were devastated to learn that Chicago theatre legend Hollis Resnik passed away on Sunday evening. She appeared in innumerable Court Theatre productions since she first graced our stage in 1995 in The Misanthrope. Below is a small sample of Hollis’s incredible work at Court. We are so thankful she shared her talents on our stage as well as so many other stages across Chicagoland and in national tours. Rest in peace, Hollis. You will be missed by so many.

    Thank You! I’m a 47 year friend of Holly’s, and we worked together often before ’82. It’s such a treasure to see her work in these grand photos.
