SUMMARY:the ripple\, the wave that carried me home
DESCRIPTION:A family responds to injustice and a daughter reckons with her political inheritance in this new play by “a poet\, a playwright to pay attention to” (Variety). \nJanice’s parents are prominent activists fighting for the integration of public swimming pools in 1960s Kansas.

SUMMARY:The Factotum - Audio Description & American Sign Language
DESCRIPTION:A new work inspired by Rossini’s The Barber of Seville that has grown into an original piece all its own\, commissioned by Lyric. Updating the action to a Black barbershop on Chicago’s South Side\, the creators have made an irresistibly upbeat work that celebrates the strength of community. The Factotum blends diverse musical styles with boundless imagination to create a soul opera\, moving from gospel and funk to rap\, hip-hop\, classic barbershop quartet\, and R&B. Those styles connect brilliantly with classical singing in a very human comedy that redefines everything that opera can be. \nThis event includes ASL interpretation and audio description. \nhttps://www.lyricopera.org/shows/upcoming/2022-23/the-factotum/ \n
