May 2026 - Field trip to Gee's Bend (IN-PERSON EVENT!)
DATE: Sunday, May 24, 3pm
LOCATION: Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre, 927 Noyes St, Evanston, IL 60201
Gee’s Bend by Elyzabeth Gregory Wilder
Playing at Fleetwood-Jourdain Theater: May 23 - June 7, Performances: Saturdays 7 PM & Sundays 3 PM.
Gee's Bend depicts the turbulent history of African Americans in the 20th century by focusing on a single family in the real community of Gee's Bend, Alabama, which is now famous for the beautiful quilts created by the women who grew up there. Gospel songs weave in and out of this hauntingly beautiful work. It's a deeply personal story of family, self-discovery, and artistic expression.
