TT-O ANNOUNCES A PUBLIC READING OF WILL BRUMLEYS THE CLINIC as it continues
TRANSGRESSIVE THEATRE-OPERAS 2019/2020 SEASON OF SHARING
The Clinic is produced in Association with Acting Out.
Transgressive Theatre-Operas mission has been honed over the first few years to include the championing of minorities of all stripes. We have always considered our work from the aspect of speaking to todays audience in the context of todays understandings. This season has been particularly important for us as we open ourselves to social advocacy, assisted by Chicagos own Acting Out, an organization committed to partnering with performing arts organizations to foster a sense of community involvement in matters of societal responsibility. We began this season with a concert event surrounding Menotti's The Consul.
UP NEXT IS THE CLINIC, an all-too-relevant story of a Womens Healthcare Clinic that suffers the most catastrophic censure. You will fall in love with the women who will not give up in their quest to provide women with the medical means to exercise their legal rights.
TT-O continues this important outreach as we move into the new calendar year. On February 13, 2020, Transgressive Theatre-Opera will produce a public reading of Will Brumleys The Clinic at 7:30 at Half Acre Brewery, 2050 W. Balmoral in Chicago.
THIS READING OF WILL BRUMLEYS PLAY about a womans health clinic that suffers harassment and is finally bombed will be produced by Transgressive Theatre-Opera, once again assisted and guided by Acting Out. TT-Os Producing Artistic Director, Aaron Hunt, will direct. AOs Executive Director and Board President Caroline Shaul is the assistant director. A substantial percentage of ticket sales and related donations will be funneled to local and national organizations committed to the support of Womens Reproductive Healthcare.
For the first time in our history, Transgressive Theatre-Opera will tell a story that, while operatic in scope, sings only from the heart. This is NOT an opera. This is a new play. A story for RIGHT now.
A tale of women you know,
Women to whom you are related.
A story of women you love.
Maybe even your own story.
Transgressive Theatre-Opera is one of Chicagos premiere storefront opera companies.
Acting Out is a new advocacy group which partners with performing arts organizations to choose and program socially and politically relevant performances that attract politically aware and active audiences, both growing the organizations audience base and providing guidance and assistance to ensure that theatre stories for today can be told without fear of a financial loss. The resultant productions give back via the donation of a substantial percentage of the proceeds to organizations that benefit those in need according to the subject matter of the offering.
