Millennium Park in the Activation Tent
September 9 @ 1:00pm

Lucky Plush Productions presents an excerpt of Right Here, created by Melinda Jean Myers in collaboration with Lucky Plush ensemble members and composer/musician Lex Leto. This dance-theater-rock-musical explores how the body holds opposing states of motivation and apathy, abundance and loss, and hope and despair during a climate crisis. Through visual storytelling and shared choreographies, the ensemble seeks a roadmap for greater awareness and collective action. 

This free public festival activates Millennium Park with world-class performances from Harris Theater Resident Companies, visiting artists, and community partners, celebrating theater’s legacy of artistic evolution, innovation, and collaboration.
