Black Box by Lily Cox
10/12 at Edgewater Presbyterian Church
“Black Box” follows Rhodes, a Chicago artist who doesn’t know how to let go. In the past, they and their best friend Micah grapple with the loss of their theatre company. This loss follows them to the future. Driven deeper into grief by the death of a friend, they break into the building they left behind. “Black Box” explores what it is to be an artist, a Chicagoan, a queer person, and a friend.

Brian is unsettled watching Julie contort herself to pass as cisgender in the process. When Julie is offered a job in New York, unlocking dreams she forgot she had, the couple is faced with the age old question: is it better to raise a kid in the city or the suburbs?
