Welcome to Spotlight on Lake! As we've progressed through this pandemic, I've tried my best to keep up! Whenever possible, I'm posting news and information as soon as I get it. If there's something you'd like to see, let me know and I'll see if I can get it/add it.
It's looking like live theater and other entertainment will be returning soon, so I've changed Theater Listings. Click on the header to find listings for live productions in Indiana and Illinois. Scroll down for listings of live-streamed theatrical and dance performances playing this week. Click on the header again and to find listings for future in-person performances - theater, dance, concerts and more.
Since I've been getting lots of listings for online arts & education - Opera (highlights or past performances), Concerts, Entertainment (anything from movies to magic), Galas/Fundraisers, Lectures, Readings, Classes and Webinars - I've added a new header called What's Happening Online. Click on the header to find listings for online entertainment playing this week. Click on the header again to find listings for upcoming online events (including theater).
Please remember to mask up - it's for your safety! Carol
