AEW President Tony Khan spoke to the Sun-Times about this residency, calling it a dream come true for him to run multiple events at Aragon Ballroom.
'It's a dream come true to be able to do weeks of AEW television at the Aragon Ballroom. I'm so excited for what's to come,' Tony Khan said. 'We've got great fans, great support, and this has been the best year of AEW television from the start of the year up until now. I would never try this in a city where we didn't have the most support. That's why Chicago is a perfect place to try this. It'll be the first residency we've done in 2025. And I think it's going to be something that we can really bring to Chicago.'
After the article was published, AEW tweeted confirmation of the announcement. You can check out the graphic and dates in the embedded post below.

Robert Wilson, provocative playwright and director, is dead at 83
Tall, soft-spoken and a conservative dresser, Mr. Wilson looked more like an accountant than an avant-gardist with a long resume of provocative productions. But there was nothing conventional about his sense of the stage. He often said that he was less interested in dialogue and a narrative arc than in the interaction of light, space and movement, and that even when he watched television, he turned the sound off. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Early in his career, Mr. Wilson established a working method in which new pieces would begin not with lines of text but with richly detailed visual images, which he would either draw or describe in a 9-by-12 ledger he carried with him. Advertisement 'I've had the idea for a long time of a room with lots of books, all placed neatly on shelves, and something slicing through the shelves' was how he described his startling vision for his 1977 theater piece 'I Was Sitting on My Patio This Guy Appeared I Thought I Was Hallucinating.' In an interview with The New York Times shortly before its premiere, he went on: 'There is a telephone, and a telephone wire. There is a scrim or gauze over the front of the stage, and images are sometimes projected on it.' (In its subsequent review, the Times took note of the work's 'monstrous title.') Advertisement Dialogue would find its way into the ledger later in the process. It might be fragmentary and repetitious -- or there might be none at all. The seven-hour 'Deafman Glance (Le Regard du Sourd),' from 1971, and the 12-hour 'Life and Times of Joseph Stalin,' from 1973, were entirely silent. Mr. Wilson directed four productions at the Cambridge, Mass.-based American Repertory Theater, including the US premiere of the 'Cologne' section of 'the CIVIL warS,' 'Quartet,' 'When We Dead Awaken,' and 'Alcestis.' Even when directing William Shakespeare, Mr. Wilson sometimes had his actors distort the rhythms of the dialogue to suggest new meanings. Other times he trimmed the text radically, as in a 1990 production of 'King Lear' in Frankfurt, Germany. Time was an important element for Mr. Wilson, too. Where playwrights traditionally compressed time in their works, Mr. Wilson expanded it. His stage work 'KA MOUNTAIN AND GUARDenia TERRACE,' which had its premiere in 1972 at the Festival of Arts in Shiraz, Iran, ran 168 hours and was presented over 10 days. Viewers were astonished and outraged to see actors taking hours to complete actions as simple as walking across the stage or slicing an onion. 'To see someone try to act natural onstage seems so artificial,' he told the Times in 2021. 'If you accept it as being something artificial, in the long run, it seems more natural, for me.' Advertisement By contrast, Mr. Wilson's first foray into opera, and his first collaboration with Glass, 'Einstein on the Beach' (1976), is a comparatively trim five-hour work. It has no plot, but its tableaux touches on nuclear power, space travel and even Einstein's love of playing the violin. And while it has plenty of text -- counting sequences, solfège syllables, the lyrics to the pop song 'Mr. Bojangles' and sections of poetry and prose by Christopher Knowles, Samuel M. Johnson and Lucinda Childs -- none of it is dialogue. The audience, free to leave and return during a performance, is presented with ideas about Einstein by inference and metaphor rather than directly. Robert Wilson was born in Waco, Texas, on Oct. 4, 1941, to Diugiud Mims Wilson Jr., a lawyer, and Velma Loree Hamilton, a homemaker. Because he had a stammer as a child, his parents sent him to study dance in the hope of building his self-confidence. His teacher, Byrd Hoffman, noticed that the boy's problem was that he was trying to speak too quickly, and his words were colliding. She taught him to slow down and focus his thought processes, and he overcame his impediment, although he later used the halting patterns and repetition of his childhood stammer as an element in his work. 'Byrd Hoffman was in her 70s when I first met her,' Mr. Wilson told the website Theater Art Life in 2020. 'She taught me dance, and she understood the body in a remarkable way. She talked to me about the energy in my body. About relaxing. About letting my energy flow through.' He memorialized his teacher by using her name in several projects, including his first New York ensemble, the Byrd Hoffman School of Byrds, and the Byrd Hoffman Foundation, which underwrites various projects of his, including the Watermill Center, a 10-acre arts incubator on Long Island's South Fork. Advertisement Mr. Wilson enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin in 1959 to study business administration but dropped out in 1962. While there, however, he took a job working in the kitchen of the Austin State Hospital for the Mentally Handicapped. At his request, he was soon reassigned to the hospital's recreation department, where he used the skills he had learned from Byrd Hoffman to help patients channel their energy into making art. He moved to Brooklyn in 1963 and studied architecture and interior design at Pratt Institute, earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1965. While a student at Pratt, he designed puppets for 'Motel,' the final play in Jean-Claude van Itallie's satirical 'America Hurrah' trilogy, which was staged at the Pocket Theater in New York and at the Royal Court Theater in London. He also earned money working as a therapist for brain-damaged children. Mr. Wilson presented experimental works of his own at the Peerless Theater, a movie house across the street from Pratt. He briefly returned to Texas at his parents' insistence, but his life as a young gay man with theatrical interests proved difficult for him under the eyes of his deeply religious family. He attempted suicide, he said, and was briefly institutionalized in Texas. On his release, he returned to New York, where he rented a loft in SoHo and started the Byrd Hoffman School of Byrds. While writing his early plays, he supported himself by teaching acting and movement classes in Summit, New Jersey, where one day, in 1968, he saw an altercation between a police officer and a young Black man, Raymond Andrews, who was deaf and mute and unable to defend himself. Wilson took the teenager under his wing, appearing in court on his behalf and eventually adopting him. Advertisement Andrews survives him, along with a sister, Suzanne, and a niece, Lori Lambert. Mr. Wilson collaborated with Andrews on 'Deafman Glance' (1971), which he described as a 'silent opera.' By then, he had attracted notice with his first mature work, 'The King of Spain' (1969). Seeing this three-hour, plot-free play, Harvey Lichtenstein, the director of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, commissioned Wilson's next work, 'The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud' (1969). 'My theater is formal. It's different from the way most directors work,' Mr. Wilson told Texas Monthly in 2020. 'It's another world I create; it's not a world that you see wherever you are, if you're in your office or if you're on the streets or at home. This is a different world. It's a world that's created for a stage. Light is different. The space is different. The way you walk is different. The way you sing is different than the way you sing in the shower.' He added: 'Theater serves a unique function in society. It's a forum where people come together and can share something together for a brief period of time. Art has the possibility of uniting us. And the reason that we make theater -- the reason we call it a play -- is we're playing. We're having fun. And if you don't have fun playing, then don't do it.'
