SMART PEOPLE

Chicago theatre director Chuck Smith helms a challenging new play by Lydia R. Diamond. Inspired by actual research on implicit bias, Diamond’s play blends controversy, sexuality, and fast-paced comedy as it follows a racially diverse quartet of young professionals as they search for love, success, and identity in a complex world. SMART PEOPLE takes a provocative look at one of the most hot-button topics in America, posing the question of whether or not our beliefs and prejudices are hard-wired.
