  TODAYS GAY & LESBIAN EVENTS

Friday September 25th

The Four
7:30pm

Four ensemble members gather in a fire ritual as they recite a poem that speaks to the four core values of Strawdog Theatre Company - ensemble, genuine connection, challenge and community - and how those values and the state of the world have inspired Strawdog to evolve and grow. Both performances will conclude with the burning of words that we aspire to and words we wish to leave behind. Audiences members are invited to add their own words to the ritual by e-mailing thefour@strawdog.org. The Four will be broadcast on Facebook Live on Friday, September 25 at 5:30 pm (Golden Hour) and 7:30 pm (Sun Down) at facebook.com/strawdogtheatre/live. The performances are free with a suggested donation of $15 (minimum $5) via the donation link on Facebook. For additional information, visit www.strawdog.org. The Four will feature ensemble members Scott Danielson*, Kamille Dawkins*, Becca Levy* and Michael Reyes*. Comments Interim Artistic Director Kamille Dawkins, "Strawdog is rapidly changing and we want our community to be a part of that change and hold us accountable. What better way to express that to the public than in the way we know best - art. With so little opportunity to genuinely connect in the world today, Strawdog wants to provide a time where we can all come together - safely." The production team includes John Kelly* (lighting design), Heath Hays* (sound mixer), Kyle Hamman* (camera operator), Becca Levy* (stage manager) and Paul Cook (producer). *Denotes Strawdog ensemble member About the Writer/Director Kamille Dawkins is a Chicago based theatre artist and the Interim Artistic Director of Strawdog Theatre Company. She has performed as an actor, singer, musician and theatre deviser in Chicago since 2016, following her nine month Emerging Professional Residency at The Milwaukee Repertory Theater. Kamille is also an ensemble member of Strawdog Theatre Company and One Year Chekhov. About Strawdog Theatre Company Since its founding in 1988, Strawdog Theatre Company has offered Chicagoland the premiere storefront theatre experience and garnered numerous Non-Equity Jeff Awards with its commitment to ensemble acting and an immersive design approach. The celebrated Company develops new work, re-imagines the classics, melds music with theatre, asks provocative questions and delivers audiences the unexpected. Strawdog Theatre Company is supported in part by The MacArthur Fund for Arts & Culture at the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, the Alphawood Foundation, The Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation and the Illinois Arts Council Agency.
