THEATRE SILK ROAD RISING HAD BEEN OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OUR LONG-AWAITED RETURN TO LIVE THEATRE, HOWEVER, WE ULTIMATELY CANCELED OUR LIVE FALL PRODUCTION OF CHRISTMAS MUBARAK DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTIES OF NEW COVID-19 VARIANTS AND THE RISE IN CASES. PRIOR TO MAKING THIS DECISION, WE HAD ALREADY CAST THE SHOW, BEGAN PRODUCTION MEETINGS, AND EVEN CREATED A PANEL OF EXPERT SCHOLARS.LAST YEAR WE EMPLOYED 58 ARTISTS AND ARTS PROFESSIONALS, 76% OF WHOM ARE BIPOC ARTISTS WITH 40% OF SILK ROAD BACKGROUNDS (24% WHITE, 19% BLACK, 17% ASIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER, 16% MIDDLE EASTERN/NORTH AFRICAN, 10% LATINX, 7% SOUTH ASIAN, 5% BI- OR MULTIRACIAL, AND 2% INDIGENOUS).


COMMUNITY ARTS WE ARE EXCITED TO SHARE THAT WE PRODUCED A NEW VIDEO PROJECT, THE COVID MONOLOGUES, AND CONTINUED TO REACH IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE COMMUNITIES IN CHICAGOS WEST RIDGE NEIGHBORHOOD THROUGH OUR EPIC FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS PROGRAM.
