The Schaumburg Boomers used a five-run third inning to tally the first shutout win of the year, blanking the Evansville Otter 6-0 on Memorial Day at Wintrust Field.

**** Recommended  Of Light and Shadow, a performance by Ballet 5:8 demonstrated the company’s versatility with the world premiere of Celestia; a beautiful pas de deux danced to a live piano solo, Corinthians 13:13; a dark, dark and more contemporary piece, The Cave; and finally, an interpretive piece, The Space In Between.  Since I love ballet, I was delighted to be in the audience for this performance.  3 ½ Spotlights

**** Highly Recommended  Paramount Theatre’s new production of "Cats" is nothing short of spectacular. Kudos to Director Trent Stark for his circus-inspired production. In spite of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s lush musical score, "Cats" has always been my least favorite musical, so I totally shocked my family and friends by even seeing the show, but guess what?  I loved it from start to finish.  When you see a trapeze hanging above the audience, you’ll know you’re in for something special. "Cats" is a family friendly show.  4 BIG Spotlights
