My name is Wendell Tucker. I am the Director of the show ?I Still Love H.E.R (atributetohiphop) and the Executive Producer of Theori Stages. "I Still Love H.E.R.? centers on the venerable Love 1, a revered Chicago on-air personality, who?s angst about the current state of Hip-Hop has caused him to retire and dedicate his final broadcast to Hip-Hop as a memorial. In the midst of his farewell show, Hip-Hop, personified, arrives to tell her story ?the way it really is.? Social issues such as feminism, parenting, racism, capitalist media domination and violence in the Hip-Hop community are examined throughout the show, with relevant Hip-Hop classics as the backdrop. This year?s performances take place at 8 p.m., on Friday and Saturday nights at the Chicago Theater for the Performing Arts, 777 N Green St., Chicago. Tickets start at $20 and can be purchased at www.theoristages.com, at the theater box office, or by phone at 312-733-6000.
