Setting her own life stories within a larger historical and political backdrop, Susan O'Halloran creates a show which is about all of us - what we know and don't know about each other and why. The KKK, teenage exuberance, Martin Luther King, Jr., loving yet "racist" grandparents and the Friday Night Fights all make an appearance in this seventy-minute storytelling/theater presentation. This memorable performance helps make sense of "ghettos," segregation and other contemporary racial conflicts and shows us how to plot a course for a different set of choices. It makes the drama of the American fight for "home" come alive with humor, compassion, searing metaphors and unique staging. Finally, Dividing Lines: The Education of a Chicago White Girl in Ten Rounds brings all of us home to a better sense of ourselves and what is possible. "We are once again at a crossroads. How our city is designed will affect every aspect of our lives. Where the individuals of our city live will determine our ability to move forward as a nation and as a people." Sue O'Halloran
