Ethel M. Barber Theater
30 Arts Circle Drive
on the Evanston Campus of Northwestern University
Evanston, IL 60208
Located on the southeast part of the Evanston campus just off Sheridan Road and Campus Drive, the Barber Theater faces the lake and is right next to the Block Museum.


Meet Charity Hope Valentine, the optimistic dance hall hostess who sings, dances and pours her heart out to one undeserving man after another in her pursuit of finding true love. Emboldened by her girlfriends at the Fan-Dango Ballroom, the hard-working women declare their intent to obtain the better life that they deserve. However, the deceptively charming men in their life can make their hope for a brighter tomorrow seem unreachable. Still the hopeful romantic, Charity marches and dances onward in her pursuit of love, happiness, and blissful self-enlightenment.
