**** Recommended  I didn’t know what to expect when I went to see the Midwest premiere of The Swingset: An Adult Comedy at Theatre at the Center. This special Valentine’s Day performance turned out to be unexpectedly funny and rather charming. If you have a chance to see this engaging story in the future, I recommend it.

Deadline for Applications/Nominations for the 2026 Governor's Awards for Environmental Excellence is Friday, March 13th!

****HIGHLY RECOMMENDED The Chicago premiere of Kurt Weill/Georg Kaiser's "Der Silbersee (The Silver Lake)" is clearly an excellent example of that. This exquisite "Der Silbersee" is quite a polished production and, technically speaking, the best work that Chicago Opera Theater has done thus far. 4 SPOTLIGHTS

**** Highly Recommended  The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of "Hamnet," now playing at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, is perfect. Honestly, I read Maggie O’Farrell’s book, "Hamnet," and I have to say there isn’t a single thing I’d change about this play. It was the best adaptation of a book that I’ve ever seen – and the acting is superb! 4 BIG Spotlights
