New Theatrical Production Dives Into Chicago's Race Issues
The Dueling Critics, Kelly Kleiman and Jonathan Abarbanel, review Collaboraction's world premiere, A BLUE ISLAND IN THE RED SEA.
"One of the things that struck me, is that so much of what is being said, the more recent history of race in Chicago, is we haven't gotten any place in 50 years, we're still at square one. And isn't that, not only regrettable, it's a tragedy." - Jonathan Abarbanel
A BLUE ISLAND IN THE RED SEA runs through May 20 in The Pentagon at Collaboraction Studios, 1579 N. Milwaukee Ave.
