"Last Night & The Night Before"

Written by Donnetta Lavinia Grays and directed by Valerie Curtis-Newton, this Chicago premiere touches on some of the most powerful themes felt within a family: sacrifice, love and endurance—all through the lens of a parent-child relationship. When Monique and her daughter Sam arrive to their family’s home in Brooklyn, the family begins to question what such an arrival means, and what it is they’re leaving behind of their lives in Georgia. Buckle in for an emotionally layered story that hones in on family bonds and their expansive nature.
