Our Partner Organizations
Beyond the performances, Erasing the Distance provides an expanded, active experience through partnering with four violence prevention organizations. Each group will have representatives on-site on each evening of the production to offer resources and support. Most importantly, they will also present active ways for patrons to get involved in direct service or advocacy. The four organizations that we are proud to work with are Apna Ghar, Between Friends, Illinois Caucus on Adolescent Health and Rape Victims Advocates.
This program is partially supported by Experian, The Glasser and Rosenthal Family Foundation at the Chicago Community Trust, MacArthur Fund for Arts & Culture at the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, a CityArts grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events, and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
***This production contains graphic language and explicit content best suited for adults. We recommend high school students only attend if accompanied by an adult.***
This production is performed without an intermission. Due to the nature of the programming, please note that latecomers will be asked to wait for an appropriate time to enter the house and then directed to seats at the discretion of the House Manager.
