Other Paths to God

About Other Paths to God

Perceptions Theatre has partnered with Coalescence Theatre Project to develop and showcase new plays by more artistically diverse voices on Chicago’s storefront theatre stages. ‘Other Paths To God’ written by Kelundra Smith, a playwright returning to Chicago after her successful run of The Wash (2025) at eta Creative Arts Foundation. The play is directed by Myesha-Tiara, an award-winning director and founder of Perceptions Theatre in South Shore, and produced by India Nicole Burton, the new associate artistic director of Coalescence Theatre Project.

‘Other Paths To God’ runs Nov 5-Nov 15; Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30pm; Sundays, 2pm; at Definition Theatre in Hyde Park (1160 E. 55th Street). 

In this NNPN Rolling World Premiere, there are five nurses, $3 million, and one crazy scandal.

The ICU nurses at Morey Medical Center don’t need another complication, but when money goes missing and fingers point in their direction, everyone’s on their worst and most outrageous behavior.

This wild ride through the lives of five resilient women in healthcare is funny, poignant, and just the right amount of scandalous, while revealing that the path to healing and redemption is never a straight line.
