Pipeline: An Evening with Chicago Books to Women in Prison
@ Victory Gardens Theater
2433 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60618
Opening Thursday, February 21st, from 7PM - 9:30PM
In addition to the play (90 minutes, no intermission), join us at 7 PM for a wine-and-cheese reception.
After the show (7:30–9 PM), stay for conversation led by volunteers of Chicago Books to Women in Prison. Reflect on what you’ve seen, learn about the greater context, and share your response.
Take home a copy of Bound Struggles, our collection of writing and art by women in prison.
Nya, an inner-city public high school teacher, is committed to her students but desperate to give her only son, Omari, opportunities her students will never have. When a controversial incident at his private school threatens to get him expelled, Nya must confront his rage and her own choices as a parent. But will she be able to reach him before a world beyond her control pulls him away? Pipeline brings to light a powerful and important conversation about parenthood, the state of our public school system, and the prison pipeline that claims so many of our inner city youth.
