Broadway Playhouse 175 E. Chestnut St Chicago,
IL
Emerald City Theatre’s beloved production of Corduroy
returns to Chicago just in time for the holidays! In this sweet adaptation of
Don Freeman’s classic book, a small bear’s quest for a missing button leads to
the friendship of a lifetime. After the lights are dimmed and the doors locked,
the department store comes to life with circus elements and physical comedy.
It’s up to Corduroy to outsmart the Night Watchman as he waits for his new pal
Lisa to return with her mother. Along with exciting scenes of clowning and mischief,
the story teaches the importance of empathy and unconditional love. Tailored
for young imaginations, this playful adventure will delight ages three and up!
November 9 – January 5

Amazons, Abolitionists and Activists: a Graphic
History of Women’s Fight for Their Rights (Ten Speed Press $19.99).
November

after-words is thrilled to
be hosting the launch of the first full-length book by local author and friend
of the store Mikki Kendall.
Artist Aster D’Amico will also be joining us.
A bold and gripping
graphic history of the fight for women's rights.
The ongoing struggle for
women's rights has spanned human history, touched nearly every culture on
Earth, and encompassed a wide range of issues, such as the right to vote, work,
get an education, own property, exercise bodily autonomy, and beyond.
Amazons, Abolitionists, and Activists is a fun and fascinating graphic novel-style primer
that covers the key figures and events that have advanced women's rights from
antiquity to the modern era. This
compelling book illuminates the stories of notable women throughout
history--from queens and freedom fighters to warriors and spies--and the
progressive movements led by women that have shaped history, including
abolition, suffrage, labor, civil rights, LGBTQ liberation, reproductive
rights, and more.
