Paramount Theatre's new play project kicks off with dramas by women of color
Lanise Antoine Shelley's first full-length play "Pretended" was one of the works chosen for The Inception Project, Paramount Theatre's new play development program.
Paramount Theatre's artistic associate Paul-Jordan Jansen describes the Healing Illinois grant as a blessing.
Amber Mak, Paramount Theatre's new works development director, says that The Inception Project creates a space for BIPOC and marginalized voices.

Had everything gone according to plan, director Lanise Antoine Shelley would be in previews for a revival of "Rabbit Hole" this week at Aurora's Copley Theatre. The multihyphenate actress/writer/director/artist was to direct David Lindsay-Abaire's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama as part of Paramount Theatre's inaugural Copley series.
