Perhaps this also could be a time for reflection of our bigger, human family as well. Recently I was honored to be a very small part of this extraordinary exhibition, Begins A Scar, a collaboration between world renown photographer Sandro Miller and poet and recipient of Library of Congress Bobbitt Prize Patricia Smith. It confronts the issue of name calling and the scars that follow. I have been identified by some of those names but I fully realize that other peoples "names" are much more devastating and have long lasting effects on their lives. Hope that those powerful photographs and overwhelming poem brings more empathy to the subject. Photos - Sandro Miller. Poem - Patricia Smith For Immediate Release - It is a very sad day for us to hear that Nathan Allen, Artistic Director as well as guardian of The House Theatre of Chicago, resigns his artistic position. A few months ago we witnessed House moving out of their wonderful headquarters with offices, rehearsal space, storage and scenic design rooms. It was their long lasting dream and took decades to build. It felt horrible and so unfair...
