LAWD the CVS Is Burning! at Greenhouse Theater Center
Similar deals
More than ever, the mainstream media isn't just reporting on events, it's actively attempting to shape the broader cultural conversations they create. With the new gospel musical stageplay LAWD the CVS Is Burning!, award-winning local playwright Carla Stillwell (Bodies) takes a politically incorrect look at the mainstream media. It's whom and what those outlets tend to focus on during moments of modern civil unrest -- and the subsequent discussions about just whose lives "matter" -- that LAWD focuses its satirical lens on. Chicago's Greenhouse Theater Center plays host to this world-premiere from Ma'at Production Association of Afrikan Centered Theatre (MPAACT).
