This fall Free Street Theater is presenting the mainstage production of Ricardo Gamboa’s The Real Life Adventures of Jimmy De Las Rosas. The plot, setting, and characters are pure Chicago. In The Real Life Adventures, a 13-year old Mexican-American boy living in Pilsen spends his days playing baseball, helping his abuela with her elote cart, and hiding the fact that he has telekinetic powers. When his mother, an undocumented factory worker, mysteriously disappears, Jimmy is determined to find her. This production comes off of a world premiere as part of the Chicago Latino Theater Alliance’s Destinos festival celebrating the work of Latinx artists and theater companies. Free Street will continue the run for the following dates:
October 25th – November 17th
Thursdays and Fridays at 7:00pm
Saturdays at 2:30pm
At Free Street Theater, 1419 W. Blackhawk St., 3rd fl.
