SUMMARY:You Didn’t Hear This From Me: (Mostly) True Notes on Gossip with Kelsey McKinney at Athenaeum Center for Thought & Culture
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret that society is consumed with the concept of “gossip”—is it good\, bad\, or somewhere in between? Kelsey McKinney\, host of the massively popular Normal Gossip podcast\, joins Chicago Humanities to explore our obsession with gossip\, weaving together journalism\, cultural criticism\, and personal stories. McKinney’s newest book You Didn’t Hear This From Me considers the murkiness of everyday storytelling. Why is gossip considered a sin and how can we better recognize when gossip is being weaponized against the oppressed? Why do we think we’re entitled to every detail of a celebrity’s personal life because they are a public figure? And how do we even define “gossip\,” anyway? She dishes on the art of eavesdropping and dives deep into how pop culture has changed the way that we look at hearsay. With wit and honesty\, McKinney unmasks what we’re actually searching for when we demand to know the truth—and how much the truth really matters in the first place. \nJoin us early for a free pop-up experience complete with interactive components\, knick-knacks\, and\, of course\, plenty of gossip. (A bar will also be available on-site!) This will take place from 6:00pm–7:00pm in the Paradiso room\, located just off the main atrium upon entry. \nAccessibility: Open captions and Assistive Listening Devices. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/kelsey-mckinney/

SUMMARY:A Raisin in the Sun at Court Theatre
DESCRIPTION:New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award winner\, Tony Award nominee for Best Play\, and the first play written by a Black woman to be produced on Broadway\, Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun is a stunning portrayal of a family’s fight for dignity and the right to dream. \nAs the Youngers await their recently deceased patriarch’s life insurance check\, they allow themselves to imagine a bigger life – a life with room to breathe – until those plans are thrown into jeopardy. Hansberry’s language rings as wise and prescient as ever in her moving answer to Langston Hughes’s question\, What happens to a dream deferred? \nStaged sixty years after Lorraine Hansberry’s passing\, Senior Artistic Producer Gabrielle Randle-Bent (Antigone) brings Hansberry’s masterpiece home to Chicago’s vibrant South Side and Court’s stage for the very first time. \nApproximate Running Time: 2 hours 50 minutes\, including one intermission \nAccessibility: ASL Interpreted
