Enrich Chicago

Repost from Rivendell Theatre Ensemble on Instagram ------------------------------------- This is the Final Weekend to see About Face Theatre's WE COULD BE! Tickets: https://lnkd.in/g4e8XxSX Read a little more about the show below: What if building your identity, seeking out knowledge, and facing conflict felt more like… a video game? Join two siblings as they navigate their curiosities and needs around crushes, gender, and feeling safe and confident in their bodies. Though they’ll meet shame—and their own anxieties—along the way, a solid support system keeps them resourced on their journey … and that includes YOU! Incorporating true stories from Illinoisans of all ages, mindfulness practices for everyday life, and honest conversation, We Could Be is an interactive new play that asks: In a world where societal expectations lay out your path, do you dare to choose your own adventure? #artsandculture #chicago #arts #socialjustice #solidarity #chicagoartist #education #nonprofitwork #CommunityEmpowerment

Today, as we work through our month centering disabled justice, we'd like to shoutout the badass work of Leah Lakshmi Piepza-Samarasinha. Specifically, we'd like to tell you a little bit about their book, "Care Work: Dreaming Disability Justice." We at Enrich know that disability justice is at the core of our work, and Care Work explores why that is beautifully. Checkout the slides to learn more.

Today we want to shout-out an incredible show from Congo Square Theatre, as this is the last weekend to go see it! Read more about the show below, and be sure to get your tickets at https://lnkd.in/eiAB9kDD. A dark comedy by Inda Craig-Galván, WELCOME TO MATTESON! follows two Black couples over the course of a dinner party; one couple has lived in the Chicago suburb of Matteson for years, the other has just moved in after being forcibly relocated from the Cabrini-Green housing projects. A uniquely Chicago story, the play explores universal themes of gentrification, housing justice, and inter-class relationships. Directed by Congo Square Theatre Artistic Director Ericka Ratcliff, the play features Congo Square Ensemble Members Ronald L. Conner, Anthony L. Irons, and Alexis J. Roston. Congo Square’s production of WELCOME TO MATTESON! #artsandculture #chicago #arts #blackexcellence #LivePerformance #chicagoart #chicagoartist
