A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Fertile Ground is a large-cast play that celebrates the intersection of the Great Migration and Green Living in Chicago, performed by volunteers of various ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Community members from Chicago’s South Side and Stony Island Corridor will come together during the course of two weeks to discover their inner artists. Each participant will delve into their mind, body, and soul and share their personal experiences through spoken word, dance, and song, culminating in these new public performances…"
