Please join Theatre Y on Saturday, February 15 at 2pm for a film screening of NOT TO BE and an evening chock full of art and activism.

Meet people like Jimmy Soto & Brian Beals, two amazing humans who somehow served decades in prison – wrongfully convicted.

Theatre Y is a community of humans fully committed to reimagining the ritual of theater as a tool of liberation, a revolutionary practice, and a path to understanding our shared humanity. To that end, since 2018, Theatre Y Co-Founding Artistic Director Melissa Lorraine–together with a team of filmmakers, actors, activists from DePaul and PNAP, and 25 men sentenced to die in prison–have been engaged in movement therapy for trauma rehabilitation while co-creating original works of art.

Learn more about Theatre Y HERE and RSVP to the film screening of NOT TO BE HERE.
