Chicago Filipino American Theatre Festival
CIRCA Pintig at Rizal Center

CIRCA Pintig is proud to share the third annual Chicago Filipino American Theatre Festival, performing at the historic Rizal Center. For the first time, original Filipino plays will be staged and performed. This year’s festival theme is PASABOG–a common Filipino slang term to express how showstopping, brilliant, or extra someone or something is. Our selected plays are spectacular, explosive, and revelatory about the Filipino diaspora and the cultural themes that center the Filipino and Filipino American experience. This year’s plays will be spectacular, excitable, and bold.

WORLD PREMIERE! Black Girl from a White Suburb
American Blues Theater

Use code TWENTY for $20 tickets on select dates.
Sat. 12 - Oct. 4

Tour-de-force solo show by Tania Richard. Growing up in an all-white Chicago suburb, she spent her days dodging microaggressions, striving to fit in, and yearning to see herself reflected. Her transformation began when cast as The Caterpillar in “Alice in Wonderland.” Blending cautionary tales, social commentary, and humor, Tania takes the leading role in a culture that often relegates Black women to supporting characters.

More Tickets Added! The Man who Fell with the Rain
Trap Door Theatre

A poignant and darkly comic fable about a mysterious old man with enormous wings who falls from the sky into the yard of an ordinary couple. As neighbors, pilgrims, opportunists, and skeptics descend upon the strange visitor, wonder gives way to greed, fear, and spectacle. Blending magical realism with biting humor and profound humanity, Kureichik’s play, inspired by the works of Gabriel García Márquez, asks what happens when the miraculous appears in our midst—and whether we are capable of recognizing grace when it arrives.
