Meet the third artist spotlight for the Not Alone Anymore Festival: RJ SILVA ✨ RJ Silva (he/him) is the Artistic Director of CIRCA Pintig. Silva was born and raised in Manila, and moved to America when he was thirteen. Silva is a graduate at Loyola University Chicago’s Department of Fine and Performing Arts. Join RJ for a meal in his solo show You Eat So Well!, which is about his relationships with food - from charting his beginnings as a latchkey kid, moving to America mid-puberty and gay awakenings, and rediscovering a love for food, family, and his culture throughout adulthood. The show explores food as a cultural love language to Filipinos, and how RJ’s immigration story charted a complicated but ultimately fulfilling relationship with his hunger for food and community.

Meet the second artist spotlight for the Not Alone Anymore Festival: HUY NGUYEN ✨ Huy Nguyen (he/him) is an actor/writer/director. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, he studied drama at the University of Washington before now sharing his time between Chicago and Los Angeles. He believes that art should be accessible to anyone with an open heart and free mind. Three Horse Men is an intergenerational story that melds the perspectives of three members of a single family - across time, beyond understanding, and spanning a literal ocean. How does the life of one echo through the lives of others forwards and backwards in time? Partial narrative, sometimes poem, occasional essay, and sporadic confessional - Three Horse Men explores what it means to be lost, found, and then lost again. Swipe through to learn more about Huy and his show! 📅 Saturday, October 17 at 5:00 PM (Festival runs Oct 17–18) 📍The Rizal Center (1332 W.
