SUMMARY:Notes from the Field
DESCRIPTION:Witness the powerful stories of 19 individuals fighting to overcome and transform America’s education and criminal justice systems.\nTHIS STRIKINGLY INTIMATE PIECE presents snapshots from a variety of real people\, documenting their intersections with the American dream and the obstacles that work to block them from it. Utilizing verbatim dialogue pulled from more than 250 accounts from students\, faculty\, prisoners\, activists\, politicians\, and victims’ families\, Notes from the Field takes audiences on an emotional journey through the faults and injustices of an American criminal justice system that seems more focused on incarceration over education. Deeply human\, profoundly moving\, and full of moments of humor\, compassion\, and resilience\, it’s a masterful work that asks you to observe\, be present\, and join the call for urgent and necessary change. \nOriginally performed by creator Anna Deavere Smith as a one-woman show\, in TimeLine’s Chicago premiere\, three actors weave together narratives of change makers\, activists\, and those caught within the system for an evening of theatre unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

SUMMARY:Drag History Movie Night
DESCRIPTION:Drag history movie night\, featuring a pop up exhibit and panel featuring Irregular Girl\, Kinley Preston\, James Hosking\, and James Conley. \nJoin us for a screening of two exquisite short documentaries taking us behind the scenes for frank\, tender glimpses into the lives\, loves\, and the artistry of drag performers. The recently re-discovered and preserved First Impressions (Pat Lehman\, 1977\, 25 min.) gives performers at a Denver drag club a platform to speak with candor and humor as they prepare for the evening’s performance\, a precious and rare document of drag and queer life in the 1970s. James Hosking’s acclaimed Beautiful by Night (2014\, 29 min.) is a loving portrait of three older drag performers at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district as they share their musings on art\, aging\, and self-acceptance. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion on the past and present of drag\, featuring drag performers Irregular Girl and Kinley Preston\, filmmaker James Hosking\, and curator and co-chair of Gerber/Hart Library & Archives\, James Conley. The event is a partnership between the Leather Archives & Museum\, Media Burn Archive\, and Gerber/Hart Library & Archives.
