Oakton Hosts Performance by Idris Goodwin
Award-winning playwright and poet Idris Goodwin shares his latest work at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 29, as part of the Chicago Writers Series at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines.
This event is free and open to the public. Plenty of free parking is available (Lot A recommended).
Goodwin will perform excerpts from his one-man show, Bullet Bites Man, which challenges media-created black stereotypes in the United States, and Break Beat Poetica, a lyrical and rhythmic reflection of his journey as a rapper that also was featured on HBO’s Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry.
This program is funded by student activity fees and the Oakton Educational Foundation.
