From the venue:

The Chairman is a gripping and evocative stage play by Nykieria Chaney that chronicles the life and legacy of Fred Hampton, the charismatic Chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, the play delves into themes of racial injustice, systemic oppression and the unyielding fight for equality.

Interwoven with powerful dialogues, historical context and stirring musical performances, “The Chairman” not only honors the sacrifices made by Fred Hampton, the Black Panther Party and countless others but also draws stark parallels to contemporary issues of racial injustice and police brutality. The play serves as a potent reminder of the ongoing struggle for civil rights and the enduring need for activism and solidarity.
