Canterbury Summer Theatre Invites Audiences to Spend 'A Year With Frog and Toad' in Opening Musical || JUNE 25th - JULY 5th

Cole Cook faced just one over the minimum from the second inning through the eighth and the Schaumburg Boomers rallied to a 5-2 victory over the Gateway Grizzlies on Thursday night to capture two-of-three in the series.

The Neverly Brothers took rock n’ roll fans on a musical tour of rock history featuring hits from 1955 to 1965, from Elvis to The Beatles, on Father’s Day Sunday, June 15, at Theatre at the Center.

Although I didn't get a chance to see the Court Theatre's remount of their 2011 hit, "An Iliad," I thought I'd share my review of the 2013 remount.

The remount of the Court Theatre’s 2011 hit, “An Iliad”, is still amazing!  Timothy Edward Kane’s performance as the Poet, a man who tells and retells the story of the Trojan War, is a ‘tour de force’.  If you missed it last time – and even if you saw it then - make sure you see An Iliad this go round, it’s a 4 Spotlight play.

**** Recommended  I enjoyed watching "Kimberly Akimbo."  It was well-written, funny, and ultimately heart-wrenching. Carolee Carmello was brilliant as Kimberly who had to navigate her way through a new high school while managing a rare genetic disease, totally dysfunctional parents and a larcenous aunt. On the other hand, I was appalled when said larcenous aunt provided a step-by-step how-to-commit a crime in Act II. 3 ½ Spotlights

**** Recommended  "42 Balloons," the new musical at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre is a terrific summer musical. The story is crazy but true – and straight out of the 80s, so it has some pathos too. The ensemble – an 8-person Greek chorus - is young, attractive and perky. The music is catchy, bright and kind of nonsensical – who sings about 42 balloons and a lawn chair? Loved the 80s choreography.  The set and staging rates somewhere between cool and awesome!  This was a fun show to watch.  4 Spotlights

The Indiana State Police Criminal Investigations Section was requested by Chesterton Chief of Police Tim Richardson, to investigate an officer involved shooting that took place this morning.

A night after the Gateway Grizzlies scored nine times in the second, the Schaumburg Boomers returned the favor by plating nine runs in the top of the sixth to notch a 17-10 win in the middle game of the mid-week series.

The Gary SouthShore RailCats were back on the road after two off-days taking on the 2024 Miles Wolff Cup Champions, the Kane County Cougars.
