    The Boys and the Nuns

    2019-2020 DFPA Artist-in-Residence Sandra Delgado shares an online work-in-progress presentation and talk-back of The Boys and the Nuns, the play with music she's been developing at Loyola. Throughout her residency, Delgado has collaborated with Theatre students, faculty and staff to develop this play about social change and intersectionality in Chicago during the 1980s. The presentation has been viewed over 2,000 times since it was performed live on Zoom and streamed on Facebook on Saturday, April 25, 2020. The Department of Fine and Performing Arts is proud to share Delgado's play as an example of how artists are called to creatively adapt their practices in the face of unprecedented changes and challenges. The Boys and the Nuns will be fully produced at Loyola in 2020-2021. *Please note that this presentation contains mild adult language and themesWATCH VIDEO
