Sat 10/10-Sun 10/18
Like all small live theaters, Near West Theatre has had to make major changes to its 2020-21 season. But the first show of the season promises to be exciting.
Rise: The Isolation Project arose from NWT’s summer youth program, an original writing and performance project exploring the impact of this tumultuous year, including the pandemic and the reckoning with racial injustice. It brought together young people ages 9-18 from past shows to share their personal stories and create this performance piece. NWT’s artistic director Trinidad Snider guided the production, with helps from Scott Ackerman, Mariah Burks, Jodi Kirk, Darius Stubbs, and Olivia Zink as reaching artists.
Performances will be streamed online Saturday October 10 @ 7:30pm, Sunday October 11 @ 2pm, Friday October 16 @ 7:30pm, Saturday October 17 @ 7:30pm and Sunday October 18 @ 2pm. It’s pay what you can with a suggested donation of $15.
