Join us tomorrow, April 11th from 6-8pm at the Claudia Cassidy Theater in the Chicago Cultural Center for the exclusive Chicago preview of the highly anticipated series, 195 Lewis! The night will also include performances from @youngchicagoauthors-blog , @kayceeortiz , and @Nappy Nina. @195lewis is a dramedy series about a group of friends navigating the realities of being Black, queer, and polyamorous in New York City. Set in the heart of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, the series follows Yuri and Camille as they test the boundaries of their open relationship. Yuri’s growing infatuation with a new lover leaves Camille uncertain about her role in Yuri’s life. Thankfully, she has immature and drama-prone younger sister Anne to offer some distraction. Tensions continue to build though, when Yuri’s old college friend Kris shows up unexpectedly in need of a place to stay.

We will open the evening with an introduction from Ciera McKissick, founder of @amfm-mag, followed by a poetry reading from Young Chicago Authors: E'mon Lauren Black (YCA Teaching Artist & Chicago Youth Poet Laureate), Aisha June (@LTAB Semifinalist, Goodman Education), Arielle Appleby (LTAB Finalist, Gwendolyn Brooks College Prep). YCA exposes young people to hip-hop realist portraiture and teaches them how to create their own authentic narratives through a variety of arts education programs both in and out of the classroom. YCA organizes Louder Than a Bomb (LTAB), the largest youth poetry festival in the world!

YCA will be followed by a performance from Nappy Nina, a Brooklyn / Bay Area rapper featured on the 195 Lewis soundtrack. Chicago's own Kaycee Ortiz will then perform a few select tracks!

Nappy Nina

Performances will be followed by a preview of the entire first season. The night will wrap with a Q&A with the creators of 195 Lewis!
