Just Numbers

Stage 773
1225 W Belmont Ave Chicago

For the students that populate Just Numbers, the modern education landscape has crushed all individualism and has them staring down the barrel of yet another standardized test. But each of these students has a story to tell and their own obstacles to overcome, and this new lyric play from Chicago Slam Works gives them a powerful voice. As the cast becomes an urban chorus that represents the youthful, hopeful and forgotten faces of Chicago Public Schools, their frustrations are expressed as freestyles over tabletop beats, their anger boils over with cutting words and revelations, and their hope triumphs over a system that couldn't care less. Don't miss Just Numbers at Stage 773.
