RC Riley - Rebirth

RC Riley for Rebirth Bout: Renew vs. Rebirth The Wrongs of Spring - April 7, 2026 When the church fails its flock, some abandon it completely. And for good reason. RC Riley takes their "Rebirth" prompt into a direction of hope once shattered by the church; a place of respect and love for self. It started with a writing class, and became the fertile ground to create a new self. A new identity. It is more of a rebirth than any white clothes underwater could ever provide, and they invite us to bask in it alongside them. R.C. Riley (they/them) is a queer, non-binary social activist, writer, and performer known for creating work at the intersection of personal truth, social justice, and transformative storytelling. With a background in solo performance, multidisciplinary theater, and podcast production, R.C. has brought their powerful voice to social media, classrooms, and stages across Chicago and beyond. R.C. has written and performed five solo shows, including Sex, Race & Jesus which was featured at Steppenwolf last July. R.C. will be performing at Fillet of Solo May 10th and debuting a new podcast, Sex, Race & Jesus in the coming months. Follow R.C on social media @rcrileyempowers.
