Pre-show salon style performances
In the wake of a tumultuous political climate that now includes a travel ban to and from Venezuela, it's more important now than ever to bridge an international exchange. Join us before the show for an evening of poetry, art and performance with Chicago based Venezuelan artists and the cast of The Worst of All. Stay for the show, too, and get tickets here. Let's support Water People Theater and show our Venezuelan artists that we are in solidarity.
More to Come. Check your inbox or Facebook for updates. |
