SUMMARY:Praise and Protest Exhibition Tour
DESCRIPTION:Praise and Protest Exhibition Tour \nFrom the 1930s through the 1950s\, Chicago served as a powerful crucible of Black creativity\, intellect\, and political imagination. The extraordinary artists\, scholars\, and activists cultivated during this era\, known as the Chicago Black Renaissance\, reshaped American culture\, boldly affirming Black identity and excellence while laying the foundation for future vanguards like the Black Arts Movement. \nTold through the rare archival records preserved in the Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection\, Praise and Protest: Voices of the Chicago Black Renaissance invites you to explore this transformative cultural movement in an interactive gallery tour. The exhibition shines a light on a distinguished yet understudied history whose seminal literary\, scholarly\, and artistic explorations of Black life remain a vital beacon\, guiding us to confront the systemic injustices that echo still today. \nLunch will be provided from 1:00pm – 2:00pm.  \nPart of Court Theatre’s Spotlight Reading Series. Artwork by Brandon Breaux.

SUMMARY:A Womanist Trilogy: Hurston\, Richards\, and Kennedy
DESCRIPTION:A Womanist Trilogy: Hurston\, Richards\, and Kennedy \nCelebrate the profound legacy of Black feminist thought with an extraordinary\, one-night-only triple feature presented as part of Court Theatre’s 2026 Spotlight Reading Series. A Womanist Trilogy unites three groundbreaking\, mid-century Black women playwrights whose poetic and radical works shattered theatrical conventions to map the interior lives\, political struggles\, and spiritual resilience of Black women. \nThe evening features a dynamic lineup of staged readings: \n\nColor Struck by Zora Neale Hurston (1925): A sharp\, tragic\, and rarely produced folk drama that courageously confronts intraracial colorism and jealousy in the rural South.\nA Black Woman Speaks by Beah Richards (1950): A fiery\, foundational choreopoem that powerfully deconstructs white supremacy\, patriarchy\, and global oppression through a fierce call for solidarity.\nShe Talks to Beethoven by Adrienne Kennedy (1989): An avant-garde\, dreamlike masterpiece that weaves together the political turmoil of 1960s Ghana with a woman’s surreal\, healing communion with Ludwig van Beethoven.\n\nThrough folklore\, radical poetry\, and surrealism\, this vital trilogy offers a breathtaking testament to the enduring power of the Black woman’s voice in American theatre. \nArtwork by Brandon Breaux.

SUMMARY:August Wilson's How I Learned What I Learned\, featuring Ron OJ Parson
DESCRIPTION:August Wilson’s How I Learned What I Learned\, featuring Ron OJ Parson \nTo launch the first night of readings for Court Theatre’s Spotlight Reading Series 10th Anniversary Festival\, acclaimed Chicago director and Court Theatre Resident Artist\, Ron OJ Parson steps out of the director’s chair and onto the stage to portray the master playwright himself in August Wilson’s autobiographical solo masterpiece\, How I Learned What I Learned. \nThis rare performance marks a deeply profound moment for Court Theatre as Parson\, who is currently on the historic precipice of completing Wilson’s entire ten-play American Century Cycle at Court\, brings an unparalleled nuance to Wilson’s words. The play is a fiercely funny\, lyrical\, and heartbreaking tour de force that follows Wilson’s coming-of-age in Pittsburgh’s Hill District—tracing the odd jobs\, close calls\, first loves\, and artistic awakenings that forged one of America’s greatest literary voices. \nDo not miss this extraordinary collision of legacies\, where one of Chicago’s definitive Wilsonian artists breathes life into the man behind the Century Cycle. \nArtwork by Brandon Breaux.

SUMMARY:It's Nation Time: An Evening of Black Cinema
DESCRIPTION:It’s Nation Time: An Evening of Black Cinema \nJoin us for a powerful triple feature that explores the depth\, defiance\, and diverse aesthetics of Black liberation cinema. Moving from the fiery\, historic political stages of the 1970s to modern\, avant-garde interior worlds\, this lineup captures the relentless pursuit of self-determination. \n\nNationtime (1972\, Director William Greaves) offers an essential\, energized chronicle of the 1972 National Black Political Convention\, capturing a monumental moment of collective political organizing.\nCultural Nationalism (1968\, Director Skip Norman) provides a sharp\, observational lens on the ideologies\, aesthetics\, and community presence of the Black Panther Party in Oakland.\nConspiracy (2022\, Directors Simone Leigh & Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich) shifts the gaze inward\, offering a stunning\, poetic\, and contemporary tribute to the labor\, visibility\, and silent resilience of Black women artists.\n\nTogether\, these films form a profound dialogue between the past and the present\, documenting not just the struggle for liberation\, but the art born from it. \nPart of Court Theatre’s Spotlight Reading Series. Artwork by Brandon Breaux.

SUMMARY:Àkójọpọ̀ Presents: South Side Sisters: Songs of Beauty\, Resilience\, and Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Àkójọpọ̀ Presents: South Side Sisters: Songs of Beauty\, Resilience\, and Freedom \nRegister to Attend via akojopo.org/noitp \nSouth Side Sisters celebrates the enduring legacy of Black women composers whose music transformed the American classical tradition while giving voice to the beauty\, resilience\, and cultural richness of the African diaspora. Featuring works by Florence Price\, Margaret Bonds\, Nora Holt\, Betty Jackson King\, Irene Britton Smith\, and Undine Smith Moore\, the program explores themes of identity\, faith\, hope\, and freedom through chamber music\, art song\, and spirituals.Inspired by the artistic heritage of Chicago’s South Side and enriched by the vibrant rhythms of the Caribbean through the inclusion of steel pans\, the program reflects the interconnected musical traditions of Africa and its diaspora. Spirituals\, art songs\, and folk-inspired works are reimagined through ensemble of strings\, piano\, voice\, and Caribbean percussion\, creating a concert experience that is rooted in history and also alive with contemporary cultural expression. \nPresented by Àkójọpọ̀ Music Foundation\, South Side Sisters represents part of the organization’s commitment to connecting African\, Caribbean\, and African American musical traditions through innovative programming that celebrates underrepresented voices. By bringing together artists and audiences across cultures\, the Foundation continues its mission of preserving heritage\, fostering collaboration\, and creating meaningful spaces where music inspires dialogue\, community\, and belonging. \n  \nRegister to Attend via akojopo.org/noitp
