Nominated for Best Picture and Actor Oscars and starring Jeffrey Wright, Monk is a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment that profits from Black entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, he uses a pen name to write an outlandish Black book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. "Timely and sharp and subversively funny,” writes the Chicago Sun-Times, "Wright delivers a richly layered performance that reminds us he’s one of the best actors of his generation." Admission is $3 for the public, $2 for ISU staff and free for ISU students with valid Bengal ID.
