The Boys and the Nuns
Written by Sandra Delgado
Music by Michael McBride
Co-Directed by Sandra Delgado & Mark E. Lococo
Saturday, April 17 - Sunday, April 25
Join us for the world premier of The Boys and the Nuns, developed with Loyola students during Sandra Delgado’s residency with the Department of Fine and Performing Arts. To pass the Chicago Human Rights Ordinance, members of Chicago’s LGBT+ community and an order of Catholic Sisters come together to change both their city and their world. Set in the 1980s, this play with music explores dignity, identity, and the power of faith in a striking period of Chicago history. Tickets are priced on a pay-what-you-can scale if you wish to support the department. All price levels include a ticket.
