The time is now - Defining Courage is this Sunday! Don't miss DEFINING COURAGE when it comes to Chicago for its only Midwest performance.

This powerful production shares the untold stories of the Nisei soldiers who became some of America's most decorated WWII servicemembers while their families were incarcerated in U.S. camps. The stories of the Nisei soldiers continue to leave a lasting impact across generations.

Defining Courage is an immersive live multimedia experience honoring the legacy of the Nisei soldiers — Japanese Americans who served in segregated WWII military units while their families faced incarceration and discrimination at home. Through eyewitness accounts, stunning visuals, and live original music, the production brings these extraordinary yet often overlooked stories to life.

Featuring Emmy Award-winning journalist David Ono alongside Grammy-winner Daniel Ho, songwriter Harold Payne, and the RAISE Choir, this powerful performance reflects on sacrifice, resilience, and the enduring impact of those who fought for a country that did not always recognize them as fully American.
