PRINCE HAL
Written and Directed by J. Nicole Brooks
Powerful world premiere tracing the journey of Chicago’s Mayor Harold Washington
“Chicago is one city, we must work as one people for our common good and our common goals. I want to reach out my hand in friendship and fellowship to every living soul in this city.” -Mayor Harold Washington 1983
A pioneering politician, and lawyer finds himself a reluctant candidate answering the call to become Chicago’s first Black mayor. Once the nomination is accepted the storied politician doesn’t rely on the usual political stomping grounds for votes. Instead, he makes deep connections with everyday Chicagoans including an unlikely group of regulars at a local West Side tavern.
