Meet the effervescent community leader DON BELL, and enjoy scenes from the new comedy LIGHT SWITCH from Open Space Arts.
Don Bell is a retired college administrator, an LGBT+ activist, and a founding ally of Chicago’s very own Affinity Community Services. He's also a resident of Heartland Housing's Town Hall Apartments, Chicago’s first affordable housing complex designed to be #LGBT+ senior-friendly.
We shared the Pride Parade Trolley with Don as a representative of the Illinois Commission on LGBTQ+ Aging.
