PARTNERING WITH OUR COMMUNITY

In Landladies, a landlady and tenant find much in common, but their friendship walks a delicate balance. Faced with dilemmas that pit fairness versus kindness and honesty versus eviction, both women are determined to build a home, and both know the threat of losing one. It’s a story that’s all too common – even on the North Shore.

After the performance, panelists Sue Loellbach (Manager of Advocacy, Connections for the Homeless), Sarah Flax (Housing & Grants Administrator, City of Evanston), and Mark Tendam, Northlight Theatre Trustee & Connections for the Homeless Board Member discussed the relevance of the play’s themes to Chicago’s North Shore and what community members can do to make a difference.

Connections was thrilled to have a great showing of support at the performance from Evanston’s Lighthouse Rotary. The Rotary club has made affordable housing their flagship cause, and attending Landladies was a way to further their awareness on the issue. Connections is a proud beneficiary of the Rotary’s Taste of Evanston – save the date: July 14!
