Genesis on Chicago: Get Tickets Now!

About This Show

Chicago’s South Side. Hundreds of thousands of black workers have fled the rural south to seek newfound opportunities in the industrial north, and America’s involvement in the Great War is rapidly coming to an end. Walter Senior and his wife Lena are hoping to cash in on the American dream. Genesis is a play about humanity and how we respond when we hit the wall and feel like we can no longer stand. A heartfelt story about family, solidarity and the ties that bind, Genesis takes us back to where it all began.
