SUMMARY:Layalina at Goodman Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A surprising new play about how families fall apart—and find each other again—amidst turbulent global and social change. \nIn 2003\, newly-wed Layal and her family prepare to immigrate from Baghdad\, Iraq\, to a Chicago suburb. Seventeen years later\, Layal’s life looks unimaginably different from what she had envisioned two decades prior\, as she and her siblings explore queerness\, face their grief\, and discover what it takes to make home in a new place. Don’t miss this moving\, powerful new play’s world premiere on the Owen Stage—fresh from Goodman’s New Stages and Future Labs programs. \nCaptioning is available. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/Layalina

SUMMARY:The Cherry Orchard at Goodman Theatre

SUMMARY:The Who's Tommy at Goodman Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The groundbreaking pop-culture musical sensation is reimagined in a new production. \nMyth and spectacle combine in a fresh reinvention of The Who’s exhilarating 1969 rock concept album\, Tommy—including the unforgettable anthems “I’m Free\,” “See Me\, Feel Me\,” “Sensation” and “Pinball Wizard.” After witnessing his father shoot his rival\, the young Tommy Walker is lost in the universe\, endlessly and obsessively staring into the mirror. An innate knack for pinball catapults him from reticent adolescent to celebrity savior. Tony Award-winning composer Pete Townshend and Tony Award-winning original director Des McAnuff find powerful resonance reexamining this classic story for today. \nhttps://www.goodmantheatre.org/show/the-whos-tommy/ \nAccessibility: sensory-friendly

SUMMARY:“This Living Earth – Our Shared Gaia” exhibition showcase at Beverly Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:WHO: Beverly Arts Center in partnership with the Beverly Area Arts Alliance – https://www.thebeverlyartscenter.com | https://beverlyarts.org/\nWHAT: “This Living Earth – Our Shared Gaia” Exhibition\nWHEN: April 5 – 27\, 2024\nWHERE: Beverly Arts Center\, Simmerling 2nd Floor Gallery\, 2407 W. 111th St\, Chicago\, IL 60655 \nARTISTS’ RECEPTION\n“This Living Earth — Our Shared Gaia” opening reception will be held on Friday\, April 5\, 2024\, 6:00-8:00 p.m. Admission to the family-friendly exhibition and reception is free to the public.\nFacebook Event Invitation: https://www.facebook.com/events/1090169548901618 \nBeverly Arts Center is pleased to present the art exhibition titled “This Living Earth – Our Shared Gaia” in its second floor gallery\, which is a cross section of visual observations from nature by 12 northern Illinois / Indiana artists in a variety of media. Both naturalism and abstraction are investigated by this group of artists: Sharon Bladholm\, Gabriella Boros\, Victoria Fuller\, Kathryn Gauthier\, Fletcher Hayes\, Mike Barret Kolasinski\, Basia Krol\, Deborah Maris Lader\, Kim Laurel\, Dorothy Mason\, Gregory Mejia\, Renee McGinnis. \nThe Gaia theory as a world concept focuses on observing how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms contribute to the stability of our planet. Hortus Botanicus (the botanical garden) is the underlying common influence that permeates each of these artists’ work\, whether of landscape\, plant\, water and animal study or as allegorical metaphors for our natural world in flux. Works exhibited are a figurative treatment of our nature subjects sometimes alluding to other symbolic meanings. \nThose symbols of our natural world are expanded on as pattern\, texture\, color\, form and light. We invite you to observe this diverse group of visual expressions compiled by the curator/artist team of Kim Laurel and Fletcher Hayes. \n“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.” — Henry David Thoreau \nAccessibility: Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1090169548901618

SUMMARY:Judith Butler: Who’s Afraid of Gender? at Music Box Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Judith Butler’s groundbreaking work\, and their theory of gender performativity\, has had a vast influence on contemporary scholarship in feminism and gender studies. In Butler’s latest work\, Who’s Afraid of Gender?\, they tackle the global rise of right-wing movements that seek to nullify reproductive justice\, undermine protections against sexual and gender violence and strip trans and queer people of their rights. Butler draws upon an array of approaches to gender to expose how authoritarian and fascist politics rely on a frightening phantasm of gender. Chicago Humanities welcomes this iconic thought leader for a timely discussion that offers rigorous analysis\, hope\, freedom and solidarity in confronting the reactionary politics that seek to intensify marginalization and inequality. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/judith-butler/

SUMMARY:The Verge AI Sessions: Art Creator or Thief? at School of the Art Institute of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:What guardrails do artists need in a new age of artificial intelligence? As artists voice concerns about AI replacing their work or using their creative intellectual property to train AI models without proper consent or compensation\, lawmakers are beginning to take notice. The essence of this debate — what artists seek and how regulations should adapt — often remains overshadowed by broader discussions on copyright law and regulation. Join The Verge AI reporter Emilia David as she leads Chicago Humanities through a crucial and timely conversation with one of the plaintiffs in the ongoing Andersen v. Stability AI case\, Kelly McKernan\, on the current legal challenges working through the courts and the impact of generative AI systems on the art world. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/verge-ai-art/
