Book R.C. to perform a solo show

R.C. is a playwright and performer whose work has graced some of Chicago's most respected stages. From intimate solo shows to full cast productions, their performances explore the intersections of race, sexuality, gender, and faith — always with honesty, humor, and heart.

R.C. Riley's solo shows are bold, intimate, and uncompromising — each one a full theatrical experience built from lived truth. From faith and desire to family wounds and hard-won freedom, these performances don't ask for permission.

Testimonials

"I've always felt safe at R.C.'s sex-positive, body-positive kink events — and that's not something I say lightly. The care and attention to consent is real, and you can feel it in how the space is held — with tenderness, awareness, and deep respect for everyone present. Even me — a queer Pastor with body issues, past trauma, and a lot of anxiety in new spaces. I felt comfortable, seen, and genuinely at ease. And that is no small feat."— A BIPOC, Queer Pastor

"I've been lucky enough to attend several of R.C.'s play parties, and they have all been a delight — sensual, erotic, and thoughtfully curated with a clear focus on consent, communication, and creating a safe space for everyone. Even when I was brand new to kink and the play party scene, R.C. had a gift for making the space feel comfortable and exciting." — Chrissy LG, Black, Queer, Femme

"R.C. is a visionary community builder. Their single-person plays have brought me to tears literally every time. Their play parties are mindful, purposeful, educational, and always fun. They host a space of respect, boundaries, and healing — they command joyful growth with a steady hand." — David, Queer, Non-binary community member
