Photo Flash: First Look at TimeLine's KILL MOVE PARADISE
By: Stephi Wild Feb. 20, 2020
Four young black men, torn from the world without warning, discover themselves stuck in a cosmic waiting room in the afterlife. While balancing the reality of their past and the uncertainty of their future, their souls try to find peace in TimeLine Theatre's Chicago premiere of Kill Move Paradise.
Inspired by the ever-growing list of slain unarmed black men and women, Kill Move Paradise is a portrait of those lost-not as statistics, but as heroes who deserve to be seen for the splendid beings they are.
Kill Move Paradise is by James Ijames and directed by Wardell Julius Clark.
Performances run through April 5, 2020 at TimeLine Theatre, 615 W. Wellington Ave., Chicago. For tickets and information, visit timelinetheatre.com or call (773) 281-8463 x6.
