Following each Sunday matinee performance of keerah, there will be an engaging post-show discussion led by a member of the production team or Definition staff member. These insightful post-show discussions will begin immediately following each performance and offer attendees a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the themes and creative choices behind the production. Participation in these discussions is completely free and open to all audience members who wish to share their thoughts or ask questions.
There is no code needed to attend the post-show discussions.

Two aspiring young writers meet in a Chicago neighborhood on the cusp of gentrification. Ciara, a Black American poet, and Cormac, an Irish writer on a J1 visa. They connect over their shared love of language, literature, and the art of cruelty. What begins as fun flirtation transforms into an intense summer romance—until immigration, bad decisions, and unspoken truths tear them apart.
Inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, this quick witted dramedy asks: Can you rewrite the past? Should you? And what happens when the person you immortalized shows up to confront you?
