Communities like the fictional 51st ward (aka Rightlynd) of Prowess are complex ecosystems. While breaking news reports focus on the violence in marginalized communities such as Austin, Englewood/Inglewood, Compton, the Bronx, what often goes unexamined are the systemic failures that play a pivotal role in the climate. And it’s easy to ignore those issues when you aren’t personally affected, when it’s “Not your neighborhood.” Headlines rarely highlight the joy, love and perseverance of community gardens, churches and mosques, pick-up basketball games, double-dutch, bucket boys, elotes, tamales, mild sauce, and more. These are the neighborhoods that created the blues, jazz, and hip-hop and they continue to create the artistic work that becomes pop culture. And, the residents are just as layered as their surroundings.

Prowess is the story of four people with their own personal stories, coming together to form a collective with one goal–fight back. Along the way, these roustabouts find themselves as they strip away their own layers, build friendships, and band together to preserve a community that has been abandoned by the rest of the city. Yet, there is a fine line between hero and vigilante. And as they fight back, the violence engulfs them.

It has been a pleasure to work on this play, by Ike Holter, a playwright I know and respect, with these artists and practitioners. I encourage you to read his other plays including Rightlynd, Exit Strategy, and Lottery Day all set in this same fictional Chicago community.

Welcome to the 51st ward.
