SUMMARY:THE THANKSGIVING PLAY at Steppenwolf Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:Four (very) well-intentioned theatre people walk into an elementary school. The work at hand: a Thanksgiving pageant that won’t ruffle any feathers. What could possibly go wrong?

Rambunctious\, thorny and not altogether politically correct\, The Thanksgiving Play serves up the hypocrisies of woke America on a big\, family-style\, platter. Come get ya some. \nOpen Captions will be provided for this event. \nhttps://www.steppenwolf.org/tickets–events/seasons-/202324/the-thanksgiving-play/

SUMMARY:Ali Velshi: Small Acts of Courage Endure at Illinois Tech - Hermann Hall
DESCRIPTION:Over a century ago\, MSNBC host Ali Velshi’s great-grandfather sent his son to live at Gandhi’s ashram in South Africa. That tough decision forever changed his family story. Velshi’s grandfather became focused on public service\, social justice and the equality of all people. These beliefs evolved through generations as his family escaped apartheid\, emigrated to Kenya and ultimately settled in Canada and the United States. In Velshi’s most recent book\, Small Acts of Courage: A Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy\, he explores his family legacy and takes notes from social justice warriors Mahatma Gandhi\, Nelson Mandela and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a guide to how small actions of those who fought for democracy and freedom have profound political impacts. Chicago Humanities welcomes the famed author as he explores 125 years of family history and how social justice is a living\, breathing experience―a way of life more than an ideology. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/ali-velshi/

SUMMARY:Miranda July: A Woman’s Quest for Freedom at Illinois Tech - Hermann Hall
DESCRIPTION:Renowned multi-hyphenated artist and Chicago Humanities favorite\, Miranda July has gained a cult following throughout her award-winning career as a filmmaker (Me and You and Everyone We Know\, Kajillionaire)\, author (No One Belongs Here More Than You)\, and visual artist.

One of the most inspiring creative artists of our time\, July and author Jessamine Chan comes to Chicago Humanities for an afternoon on storytelling\, creativity and finding a new life. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/july/
