Emerald City Coffee to Welcome Loose Chicks, 5/29
By: Tyler Peterson
The Loose Chicks invite guests to a compelling performance May 29, 2015 at 8:00 p.m. Loose Chicks, led by Jillian Erickson and Roberta Miles, is a collection of courageous women who share experiences that most women keep to themselves. The event, which will be held at Emerald City Coffee, located at 3938 N. Sheridan Rd., features features six exceptional writers and performers who allow themselves to be vulnerable as they share with uncommon honesty.
"In my opinion if you can only go to one event, you should go to Loose Chicks," said Cassie Sheets from The Chicago Literati, "you can feel all of the humor, passion, honesty, strength, and empathy. It is a series that should never be missed." Erickson explores the themes of identity, compassion and mental health with an intensity and humor that is uniquely her own. She is the co-producer/director of the long running BEAST WOMEN. Miles's award-winning autobiographical monologues touch on growing up in Chicago in the 70's and her life's indiscretions and romantic regrets. She chronicles her quest for mental and physical health with brutally hilarious candor. She is a jazz singer, a poet, a writer, and a visual artist.
