'LIVING GREEN' By Gloria Bond Clunie Starts 1/23

What happened to our families as we "moved up" and fled the black communities that once nurtured us?

The year is 1995. The Freemans, an upper middle class black family in an affluent, predominantly white Chicago neighborhood are contemplating selling their home to fund their daughter's college education.

When the men in the family return from the first Million Man March, the Freemans grapple with where to resettle their two children: another "safe" white community, or back to "the old neighborhood?"

A modern-day homage to A Raisin in the Sun, this timely new work by ensemble member Gloria Bond Clunie (North Star, Shoes) asks "What happened to our families as we "moved up" and fled the black communities that once nurtured us?"
