Act Well Your Part, Designing Hull-House Theatre

  • Jane Addams Hull-House Museum 800 South Halsted Street Chicago, IL, 60607 United States (map)


Join Hour Studio for a conversation and celebration of Hull-House Theatre and graphic design. In conversation with Hull-House staff, and the audience, designers Tobey Albright and Mollie Edgar reflect upon the work of reimagining over a century of design for performance at the country’s most influential social settlement, engaging design as a mode of reproducing history in the present.
