SUMMARY:Out Here
DESCRIPTION:Out Here \nLife happens outside of your comfort zone. Out Here is a world-premiere musical\, a thrilling collaboration between Court Theatre and the University of Chicago\, and an intimate look at a family reconfiguring itself and rediscovering joy. \nDawn has a house\, a husband\, and a family\, but she wants more. She wants her ex-girlfriend\, Robin. She wants nothing to change and she wants everything to change\, and she wants it all on her own terms. As she’s caught between what’s been and what’s next\, Dawn must learn to abandon expectations\, harmonize with loved ones\, and trust the process. If she can do all that\, she might just learn a new song. Strikingly original and unabashedly queer\, Out Here explores the freedom of relinquishing control\, and how\, sometimes\, you have to break something apart to create something better. \nAcclaimed director Chay Yew makes his Court directorial debut with this charming and bold coming-of-age story\, bringing the 2025/26 season to a jubilant conclusion. \nAccessible Performances: \n\nTouch Tour: Saturday\, May 2 at 12:30pm\nAudio Description and ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, May 2 at 2:00pm\nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, May 3 at 2:00pm

SUMMARY:What Happened To Icarus Book Launch - SOPHY Hotel
DESCRIPTION:What Happened To Icarus Book Launch – SOPHY Hotel \nPlease join local author Thedore Richards to celebrate the release of his next book\, “What Happened to Icarus\,” at the SOPHY Hotel at 1411 E. 53rd Street on Sunday\, May 3\, from 4-6 p.m. \n\nFree event; food and drink available at the bar; books for sale. \nAbout the book: Ours is undeniably a world on fire. The seas are rising\, forests burn\, geopolitical strife accelerates\, and our inner lives are increasingly unmoored\, in collapse. Many of us no longer know our place in this world. Like Icarus\, we are in free fall. Tracing the author’s travels through some of the most despairing\, remote\, and beautiful regions of the Earth\, What Happened to Icarus is both a call to action and a call to remember — to remember who we are\, so that we may fall in love with the world again\, even as we despair in our descent. \nAbout the author: Theodore Richards (he/him) is a writer\, philosopher\, educator\, and the founder of the Chicago Wisdom Project. He has received numerous literary awards\, including three Independent Publisher Awards and two Nautilus Book Awards. What Happened to Icarus is his ninth book. He lives on the south side of Chicago with his wife and three daughters. You can find out more about him and his work at www.theodorerichards.com.

Out Here is a world-premiere musical\, a thrilling collaboration between Court Theatre and the University of Chicago\, and an intimate look at a family reconfiguring itself and rediscovering joy. \nDawn has a house\, a husband\, and a family\, but she wants more. She wants her ex-girlfriend\, Robin. She wants nothing to change and she wants everything to change\, and she wants it all on her own terms.

If she can do all that\, she might just learn a new song. Strikingly original and unabashedly queer\, Out Here explores the freedom of relinquishing control\, and how\, sometimes\, you have to break something apart to create something better. \nAcclaimed director Chay Yew makes his Court directorial debut with this charming and bold coming-of-age story\, bringing the 2025/26 season to a jubilant conclusion. \nAccessible Performances: \n\nTouch Tour: Saturday\, May 2 at 12:30pm\nAudio Description and ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, May 2 at 2:00pm\nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, May 3 at 2:00pm

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Edgar Garcia & Benjamin A. Saltzman
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation with Edgar Garcia & Benjamin A. Saltzman \nEdgar Garcia and Benjamin A. Saltzman will discuss their new books Cantares and Turning Away\, respectively. A Q&A and signing will follow the discussion. \nAt the Co-op \nRSVP HERE \nAbout the Books: Turning Away: A sweeping account of how we are at our most human when we turn away from the pains of the world. \nWhy do we look away from the suffering of others? Why do we cover our faces in shame or lower our heads in grief? Few gestures are as universal as the averted gaze. Fewer still are as ambivalent and inscrutable. In this incisive study\, Benjamin A. Saltzman reveals how the kaleidoscopic appearance of these gestures in art\, poetry\, and philosophy has turned them into an essential language for our uncomfortable engagements with the world. \nInto the horizon of contemporary discourse\, Turning Away sets out from five influential scenes in which figures avert their gaze: Timanthes’s Sacrifice of Iphigenia\, Plato’s Republic\, Augustine’s Confessions\, Christ’s Crucifixion\, and the Fall and Expulsion of Adam and Eve. The gestures of aversion in these scenes refract across visual media\, through philosophy and politics\, into modernity and the present day\, having been reimagined along the way by thinkers like Hannah Arendt\, artists like Marc Chagall and Salvador Dalí\, poets like Langston Hughes\, and many others. Saltzman offers a timely critique of the privilege of turning away and of the too-easy condemnation of our tendencies to do so. \nCantares: Poems and micro-essays intertwine in this poetically attuned adaptation of the mid-sixteenth century Nahuatl-language Cantares Mexicanos \nCantares is a multipart engagement with the poetics and history of the colonial and Indigenous Americas\, oscillating between poetry and essay in a structure of repetitions derived from Mesoamerican poetics. Edgar Garcia reimagines the Cantares Mexicanos\, a sixteenth-century anthology of Nahuatl songs from Central Mexico\, and brings these songs to life not just as historical documents\, but as music\, to give presence of thought to their historical layers and complexities. His adaptations evoke the sound and texture of the sixteenth century\, blending Indigenous and Baroque traditions\, exploring themes of translation\, adaptation\, race\, and historical memory. The collection moves between poetry and scholarship—between poems and micro-essays. The essays provide commentary and historical context about the colonial soundscape of Central Mexico. At the same time\, the poems emphasize the songs’ sonic\, spiritual\, and poetic dimensions. \nThe Cantares emerge from a time of cultural collision—after the arrival of the Castilians but still rooted in older\, Indigenous worldviews. These songs are not nostalgic or idealized; they reflect crisis\, survival\, and creativity. Garcia’s work draws inspiration from the Popol Vuh\, the K’iche’ Maya creation story\, which begins in colonial darkness and still insists on the possibility of light. Through these adaptations\, Cantares becomes a meditation on history\, imagination\, and the power of art to endure and create in the face of loss. \nAbout the Authors: BENJAMIN A. SALTZMAN is associate professor of English at the University of Chicago\, where he coedits the journal Modern Philology. Saltzman is the author of Bonds of Secrecy: Law\, Spirituality\, and the Literature of Concealment in Early Medieval England and the coeditor of Thinking of the Medieval: Midcentury Intellectuals and the Middle Ages. \nEDGAR GARCIA is associate professor of English at the University of Chicago\, where he is affiliated with the Program in Creative Writing. He is the author of Emergency: Reading the Popol Vuh in a Time of Crisis\, Skins of Columbus: A Dream Ethnography\, and Signs of the Americas: A Poetics of Pictography\, Hieroglyphs\, and Khipu.

SUMMARY:Sara Moslener - 'After Purity'
DESCRIPTION:Sara Moslener – ‘After Purity’ \nSara Moslener will discuss After Purity: Race\, Sex\, and Religion in White Christian America. A Q&A and signing will follow the discussion. \nAt the Co-op. \nRSVP HERE — please note your RSVP is requested but not required. \nAbout the book: In After Purity\, purity scholar Sara Moslener conducts a nuanced investigation of purity culture in white evangelical Christianity\, revealing its profound impact on gender\, sexuality\, race\, and national identity in the United States. Moslener shares exclusive stories of participants from her research on the After Purity Project to discuss how purity culture affected women—and particularly women of color—who grew up in the evangelical church. These stories depict how white supremacy has a hand in constructing idealized “traditional” or “biblical” views of family\, white racial identity\, sexuality\, gender expression\, and religion\, and how our physical bodies are situated within systems of power and oppression. After Purity provides a window into the world of white evangelicalism and how its leaders and political allies have manufactured socio-sexual panic to justify the elimination of sexual and religious diversity that thrive in a flourishing democracy. \nAbout the author: Sara Moslener is a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy\, Anthropology\, and Religion at Central Michigan University. She is the author of Virgin Nation: Sexual Purity and American Adolescence and creator of the podcast Pure White: Sexual Purity and White Supremacy. She lives in Mt. Pleasant\, Michigan\, with her best friend and soulmate\, Gibson the Chug.

SUMMARY:Out Here
DESCRIPTION:Out Here \nLife happens outside of your comfort zone. Out Here is a world-premiere musical\, a thrilling collaboration between Court Theatre and the University of Chicago\, and an intimate look at a family reconfiguring itself and rediscovering joy. \nDawn has a house\, a husband\, and a family\, but she wants more. She wants her ex-girlfriend\, Robin. She wants nothing to change and she wants everything to change\, and she wants it all on her own terms. As she’s caught between what’s been and what’s next\, Dawn must learn to abandon expectations\, harmonize with loved ones\, and trust the process. If she can do all that\, she might just learn a new song. Strikingly original and unabashedly queer\, Out Here explores the freedom of relinquishing control\, and how\, sometimes\, you have to break something apart to create something better. \nAcclaimed director Chay Yew makes his Court directorial debut with this charming and bold coming-of-age story\, bringing the 2025/26 season to a jubilant conclusion. \nAccessible Performances: \n\nTouch Tour: Saturday\, May 2 at 12:30pm\nAudio Description and ASL Interpretation: Saturday\, May 2 at 2:00pm\nOpen Captioning: Sunday\, May 3 at 2:00pm
