Pink Ribbon Plays presented by CIRCA-Pintig and Nothing Without a Company is fast-paced 24-Hour Play Festival bringing together 30 AANHPI artists to create six original short plays in just one day, centering community storytelling around breast cancer, healing, and collective care, supported by the SCREEN Project and the Asian Health Coalition.
What is a 24-Hour Play Festival?
A 24-Hour Play Festival at the Rizal Center brings together six playwrights, six directors, and eighteen actors who are randomly sorted into six teams composed of a writer, director, and three actors. Every team is assigned a specific location within the building and given 24 hours to devise a brand-new ten-minute play inspired by their space. The festival celebrates collaboration, site-responsive storytelling, and the excitement of creating live theatre under a shared deadline.
Accessible Theatre
Pay-What-You-Can tickets will be available at the box office on the day of the event, subject to availability. If the performance sells out, a Pay-What-You-Can waitlist will be offered.
Who is CIRCA-Pintig?
For 35 years, CIRCA Pintig has been at the forefront of Filipino American theatre in Chicago, creating powerful, socially relevant productions that educate, entertain, and inspire. The company remains committed to amplifying diverse voices, developing new works, and addressing pressing social issues through the power of theatre.
Who is Nothing Without a Company?
Nothing Without a Company (NWaC) is a Chicago-based theatre and film company committed to immersive, site-specific storytelling that puts audiences inside the action. We collaborate to create original work that is raw, inventive, and built for shared spaces where art and community meet.
What is the SCREEN Project?
The SCREEN Project (Screening for Cancer, Reducing Inequity, and Engaging Asian Neighborhoods) is a community health initiative led by the Asian Health Coalition that works to reduce cancer disparities across Asian neighborhoods in Chicagoland. At its core, SCREEN combines culturally and linguistically appropriate breast health education with community-centered storytelling to address stigma, shame, fear, and misinformation, while also increasing access to screening and strengthening pathways to timely follow-up care.
