Thanks to you – our donors and supporters, and our event sponsors, Applegate & Thorne-Thomsen, William Blair & Co., and Linn-Mathes Inc. – the NPHM benefit at Lookingglass Theatre earlier this month raised almost $30,000 for the Museum’s general operating expenses!
WBEZ’s Natalie Moore moderated a riveting post-play discussion with housing activist J.R. Fleming and author Alex Kotlowitz. The conversation touched on the meaning of Cabrini-Green in the popular imagination, women’s leadership in politics, the differences between white and black feminism, and how art opens new ways to approach difficult histories. We feel so grateful to have seen the play and thankful to everyone who made this event a success. Her Honor Jane Byrne opened to rave reviews, and our heart goes out to playwright and director J. Nicole Brooks and the fabulous actors on the shortened run due to COVID-19.
