About the event
"Mop and Bucket Blues" examines the importance of sports and creative arts programming by bringing awareness to Chicago's inner city gun violence, poverty, food insecurity, absentee fathers, and the lack of funding for sports and creative arts programing in public schools in high crime areas. This production seeks to shed light on the potential of theater as a powerful medium for social change and educational reform.
