WINNER OF 4 TONY AWARDS®, INCLUDING BEST CHOREOGRAPHY AND BEST COSTUMES, AND THE GRAMMY AWARD® FOR BEST MUSICAL THEATER ALBUM - SOME LIKE IT HOT is Now Playing

**** Highly Recommended  I was moved to tears by Namir Smallwood’s tour de force performance in "Primary Trust."  I didn’t know quite what to expect –  given the whole imaginary friend thing – but as it turns out, the imaginary friend is more of a footnote because the play is actually about self-discovery and connection.  Do not miss this poignant yet charming little play at the Goodman.  It bumped some very prestigious plays to leap right into my top five plays of the year! 4 BIG Spotlights

On September 15th, I attended a concert called One Voice: The Music of Barry Manilow starting Mark Sanders at Theatre at the Center.  All the ‘fanilows’ in the audience, including my friend Nancy and I, really enjoyed the performance.
