Hot Nights at The Public House Theatre

Turns out running a speakeasy ain't so easy. Just ask Audrey and Maxine who run a successful (albeit totally illegal) gin joint in Prohibition-era Chicago in Hot Nights. In this exciting new work by Kimberly V. Banks and Briane Goodrum, the two protagonists must use all of their wiles to deal with racists, sexists, powerful gangsters, crooked coppers and their own colorful customers. Join them on their quest for economic and social independence -- during a time when both are in short supply for African-American women -- during this poignant and pointed stage piece filled with comedy, music and dance. Banks and Goodrum star in a production directed by Ric Walker.
