Chicago Weekend Fun!

I was lucky enough to attend the Second City Training Center’s Conservatory program last year and I lasted through class levels 1a, 1b, 2 and 3 and 2 auditions. I dropped out before the class session #4 started because I was in over my head and I had a day job that I had to maintain [...]

This past summer’s local Chicago Theater hit from Steppenwolf Theater August: Osage County won six Joseph Jefferson Awards this year for 2007.

Dance Chicago is a wonderful festival that runs all through November with several different programs that feature local Chicago Dance Troupes performing different styles of dance.

It’s about that time again that everyone is wondering what’s happening this weekend in Chicago? And they start to search for something to do this Friday and Saturday night in Chicago. Well there are a lot of movies, art exhibits and events this weekend. And the weather should be great. It should be in the [...]

The Chicago International Film Festival is a great festival celebrating the independent film movement and films made in Chicago. There will be 150 movies from 35 countries to shown in the 2007 festival in local theaters over two weeks in October. I have attended this event for the last 2 years and it has been amazing both times. [...]

I was asked yesterday what the top 5 things were that someone has to see if they have never been to Chicago. I also get asked “where the bean is”, “how to get to the Art Institute”, “can you go up in the Sears Tower?” and “who makes the best Chicago Pizza?” a lot. I thought [...]
