The Theatre of Western Springs

Through a series of vignettes, Working examines the frustrations, hopes, and motivations of everyday workers from our community. Though the characters differ in age, background, class, and industry, they share a common truth: every job has a story behind it, and every worker carries a life far richer than their title suggests. With songs from Stephen Schwartz, Lin Manual-Miranda, and James Taylor, this ensemble driven piece is a tribute to the unsung people who keep our communities functioning.

Technology can be a powerful tool for connection, but it can also be used to monitor, control, intimidate, and harm.
Join us for a community conversation about technology-facilitated abuse, moderated by Pamela Lannom of The Hinsdalean, and learn more about how we can recognize abuse, support survivors, and help build safer communities.
Pillars Community Health will also present the inaugural Hand &amp; Heart Award to the PNCC Nurses of UChicago Medicine AdventHealth Hinsdale and La Grange, recognizing their commitment to supporting survivors and strengthening our community.
Guests are asked to support Pillars Community Health Domestic and Sexual Violence Services with a $25 donation or a $25 Lyft or Uber gift card. Transportation gift cards help reduce a practical barrier survivors may face when accessing services and support.
This event is recommended for ages 16 and older.
