What I Remember — Rhino Fest 2024

What I Remember is a 30-minute play about queer love, inspired by musical artist Samia’s debut album, The Baby. Using projection, altered time, abstraction from reality, and multiple perspectives, this story follows the unity and separation of two individuals, Sam and Em, finding their way in and out of love. Using themes from the album’s lyrics, this play creates a mosaic of a relationship that once was. Queer love, like memories, can be fragmented and nonlinear, with some parts more real or vivid than others. Emotions have a funny impact on memory, especially when there are two sides to every story.

This is the second production from a new Chicago theatre company, Do Process. Our mission is to foster the upcoming generation of theater makers and theatergoers by prioritizing innovation and humanity in our process. Find out more at doprocesstheatre.com

Venue Notes: Chicago Dramatists is located at 1105 W Chicago Ave, in the River West neighborhood. Street parking tends to be difficult in the area — plan to take public transit or a hired car if possible, or plan extra time to locate parking. (Apps such as ParkWhiz and SpotHero can often help you find a paid spot nearby.) The Chicago Blue Line station exits within one block of the venue. The venue's entrance is at 798 N Aberdeen Ave (if you see Big Shoulders Coffee, walk around to the other side of the building). The theater space is on the first floor, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and two accessible bathrooms. Beverages will be available in the lobby before shows begin.
