SUMMARY:Elizabeth Alexander on The Trayvon Generation at MCA
DESCRIPTION:This event is a collaboration between the MCA Chicago and the Chicago Humanities Festival. \nJoin us for a conversation with one of the great literary voices of our time\, Elizabeth Alexander. \nIn her latest book The Trayvon Generation\, Alexander tenderly writes about the young people whose worldview has been indelibly shaped by persistent and visible racially motivated violence and asserts the unresolved problem of the color line at the center of the American experience. Join Alexander for a wide-ranging discussion about the power of art and culture to understand and confront issues of race\, class\, and injustice\, and the ways in which Black artists\, scholars\, and activists have always revealed the “problem\, the hope\, and the possibility of America.” Moderated by Romi Crawford\, Professor of Visual and Critical Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. \nThis Dialogue presentation is organized by Daniel Atkinson\, Manager of Learning\, Adult Interpretive Programs\, and Otez Gary\, Curatorial Assistant\, in collaboration with the Chicago Humanities Festival. \nThis event will be ASL interpreted and captioned. \nhttps://visit.mcachicago.org/events/dialogue-keynote-elizabeth-alexander-on-the-trayvon-generation/

SUMMARY:RECONNECT
DESCRIPTION:After a nearly 3-year hiatus due to COVID-19\, the A.B.L.E. ensemble is producing their first ever full-day festival in partnership with Chicago Shakespeare Theater. RECONNECT will feature the work of 58 members of the A.B.L.E. community – 33 performers with disabilities\, 17 volunteer facilitators\, and 8 Teaching Artists. \nOver the course of a 10 week rehearsal process\, each of A.B.L.E.’s 3 ensembles have collaborated to develop original monologues\, scenes\, movement pieces\, and songs inspired by their own lives and experiences with connection. Pieces range from touching letters to loved ones we’ve lost\, to celebrations of our closest friends\, to humorous dream dates\, to meditations on the good and bad of social media\, as well as poignant reflections on the fears and miscommunications that get in the way of true connection. They are sharing their work in two distinctive multimedia shows\, blending live performances with filmed content from A.B.L.E.’s virtual ensemble. \nBetween the shows\, the public is invited to participate in an interactive workshop with A.B.L.E.’s Creative Associates and Teaching Artists to experience how A.B.L.E. brings their ideas to the stage. \nYou can buy a ticket for one\, two\, or all three events.

SUMMARY:Trouble in Mind at Timeline Theatre
DESCRIPTION:A cutting yet humorous behind-the-curtain drama that examines pervasive racial dynamics within the American theatre and the tolls of superficial representation on stage. \nACCLAIMED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES as “a rich\, unsettling play that lives up to its title [and] lingers in one’s memory long after its conclusion.” \nAt a Broadway theater in New York City in the mid-1950s\, a group of actors has gathered for their first day rehearsing a new play called Chaos in Belleville\, an anti-lynching Southern drama. But as the cast rehearses\, tensions flare between Wiletta\, the Black actress in the starring role\, and her white director about his interpretation of the play. What emerges is an explosive investigation of interracial politics and the need for a cultural shift in theatre and America. \nWritten by Alice Childress—the first Black woman to have a play professionally produced in New York City—Trouble in Mind recently enjoyed an acclaimed Broadway production nominated for four 2022 Tony Awards\, including Best Revival of a Play. The critics raved that this “masterpiece of astonishing power” (New York Magazine) is “the play of the moment” (The New York Times) and “will take your breath away” (Associated Press). \nby Alice Childress\ndirected by Ron OJ Parson \nOpen Captioning available. \nTrouble in Mind
