Free Street Theater's Youth Ensemble will present an excerpt from "Mothering the Movement," their new play created in partnership with the podcast, "Help This Garden Grow," by Respair Production & Media, along with People for Community. Free Street is a femme-led arts and culture organization that centers original performance work by Black, Brown, and Immigrant communities; queer artists; youth artists; and work that is committed to the thriving and well-being of people on the South and West Sides of the city. We believe in the theater as a space to uplift joy and justice, especially racial, economic, and environmental justice in Chicago. Our youth ensemble is made up of 14-19 year olds who spend a year with a topic/issue, and create a play based on their research, interviews, and personal stories. Post-show discussion will feature a portion of the directing team & youth performers.
