Wendell Tucker Hates the World - Thursday, October 15, 2015 - 7:00pm
This revealing one man show starring the acclaimed playwright, draws upon his experiences as an African American male diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. WTHTW mixes satire, irreverent humor, and personal anecdotes to weave a tapestry of self-destruction, self-discovery and ultimately, healing. Audiences will be drawn in as Wendell begins with hilarious personal stories and takes them deeper into the valleys of his life, sharing his story of triumph over major depression.
I Still Love H.E.R. (atributetohiphop) - Friday, October 16, 2015 - 7:00pm
This sociological musical centers on Love 1, a revered Chicago on-air personality who is about to begin his final broadcast. In the midst of his farewell show, Hip-Hop arrives to tell her story the way it really is. Through the dialogue that follows, Love 1 and his listeners are told the story of Hip-Hop through her own words. Social issues such as feminism, parenting, racism, capitalist media domination and violence in the Hip-Hop community are examined throughout the show, with relevant Hip-Hop classics as the backdrop. By the end of his broadcast Love 1 reconciles his love affair with his culture and realizes that he must "always take time to listen to the soundtrack of his life".
Slow Jams Vol. 1 - *Sweetest Day* Saturday, October 17, 2015 - 7:00pm"Slow Jams Vol.1: From Loss to Love" is the newest theatrical production from Theori Stages' playwright/director Wendell Tucker. This intimate musical takes you inside the minds and hearts of two lovers, on their journey from heartbreak to love. Under the musical direction of Andre DuBois (CEO of Reflective Music), Slow Jams features live covers of some of the greatest Slow Jams of all time, performed by the Chicago music scene's hottest new artists. “ Slow Jams strips away the clichés of love stories to reveal the emotional mechanics of moving past a failed relationship to find the love of your life. It is a modern day parable to remind lovers that their relationship "is not a day’s work, it is not a place, it is a moment by moment exercise in making sure that the one who loves you, always knows that they are loved too."
