-Individual children develop close mentoring relationships with at least four adults who are successful in their creative fields while adult professional artists share the chance to perform in wildly imaginative plays as talking guinea pigs, horses, computer gaming systems, and other indescribably unique characters.
The project is not about teaching youth to perform, though they do learn acting—nor is it about teaching them how to write plays, though they learn that as well. The Chicago Avenue Project gives every child—no matter their circumstances—the opportunity to discover that he or she has a lot of value to offer.
DRASTIC TIMES CALL FOR DRASTIC MEASURES features ten original, short plays written by neighborhood youth in partnership with professional dramaturgs, and directed and performed by some of the Twin Cities’ best theatre artists. Performances are free and family-friendly.
