Aka RCP. Someone who has enough confidence in his- or herself in order to not lie, not start shit, not create drama, and not be fake. Someone who realizes that things will happen and life will go on. Someone who won't fake being cool, because they already are, and don't need any friend, famile member, lover, and/or random creepy person to tell them.
L.K. is an awesome girl because she knows who she is and isn't going to take Joe's shit. She is a wicked Real Cool Person. (or: She's a wicked RCP.)

After 77 years, art supply store bucks trend toward computer graphics
In a world of computer-generated images and graphics, who uses a pencil anymore?
Or an artist's paint brush? Isn't a paint brush just a click-able icon in a software program?
You'd have a hard time convincing the owners of Artist and Display of such sentiment.
Their store on W. Burleigh St. in Milwaukee, where tall support posts that look like a colored pencil and paint brush hold up the retailer's banner sign, is packed with fine pencils, brushes, paints and canvases that need no electricity — only human hands and the right side of the brain — to generate art.
And, they say, there still are a lot of people who appreciate the creation of art the old-fashioned way.
"With so many electronic things today that occupy our lives, people really have an interest in going back to something that's handmade, hands on — something that's visual that they can see and touch, rather than just work with a button," said Lynn Klein, vice president of Artist and Display.
Family-run Artist and Display has been nurturing the creative side of people for 77 years. When it started at N. 8th St. and W. Wisconsin Ave. in 1936, about 90% of its business was selling display materials for decorating store windows and movie houses, said Jack Klein, president of the company. His grandfather, Jacob Klein, bought an existing store with his sons and son-in-law — Jack's father Harvey, Oliver Klein and Harry Stender — after Jacob retired from the wholesale fruit and vegetable business and wanted something new to do.
By the time the store moved to 8330 W. Blue Mound Road in 1965, it had shifted much of its emphasis to art supplies. It found a solid market in a Milwaukee community with corporate headquarters that had their own advertising departments, printing firms and strong college art programs.
But it also specialized in quality materials for the individual artist, whether professional or hobbyist — a part of the business that is key today at its current location at 9015 W. Burleigh St., where it's been since 1987. The store draws customers from throughout Wisconsin and even some from Illinois and Michigan.
"It's a destination store. It's a specialty store. And the thing that makes it special is we're not a chain. We're local people. The majority of people who work for us have worked for us for over 20 years," said Nora Hackenberg, Artist and Display's creative director and the sister of Jack's wife, Lynn Klein.
The store prides itself on having knowledgeable employees — it has a dozen staffers — and the right art supplies to help people create their best art. Its leadership is well aware of the competition from the Internet and other retailers that market some art supplies.
"So many of the things we have, in terms of quality or brands, are not necessarily the things that would turn over in a store like Walmart to satisfy their needs for profit per square inch or whatever," Jack Klein said. "An independent store listens more to what the customer needs and what the customers say."
Milwaukee children's book author and illustrator Lois Ehlert has been a customer for decades.
"They have the most interesting collection of papers and paints and inks and water colors — just stuff that I can use with my hands and brain — of anybody," Ehlert said. "And if they don't have it, and it's made, they will order it for you."
Independent specialty stores of all varieties have tough competition from online sellers and large retailers, but another factor working against art supply stores is a de-emphasis in schools on drawing, painting and other types of art, Jack Klein said.
"School art programs have been cut for the last 30 years," he said. "There aren't very many people going to high school and demanding to take art classes because they haven't had any in grade school."
Artist and Display tries to counter that trend by bringing in artists to teach courses to children and adults in drawing, painting and other types of art and crafts.
"When we moved into this building we decided we would build a special classroom," Hackenberg said. "We decided we would commit to the community, not only to sell them supplies, but be a place where people who were never able to take art could learn it."
Hackenberg makes a case for why art is important, asserting, "Everybody needs to be a creative thinker."
"There's a lot of parents who say, 'Why would my child go into art? What are they going to do?'" Hackenberg said. "Everything in the world is touched by an artist. The clothes you wear. The chair you're sitting in. The car you drive. The pen you're writing with. The cereal box. The restaurant menu. The kitchen in the restaurant. Everything is driven by someone who had an artistic vision, and that is very powerful. Art isn't just the starving artist who can't sell a painting."

===Story=== This is the near-legendary video that started the trend of songs for kids on video in 1986. The footage of kids playing in houses and backyards has a delightful homemade quality and is anchored by the songs of Hap Palmer, once dubbed the "Bob Dylan of the diaper set." His songs do have a nice folksiness that is just right. From the very first song, "Piggy Toes," you can see where the video is aimed: the ''Sesame Street'' group of infants to 6-year-olds. Palmer has a gift for writing bouncy numbers that go beyond the normal subject matter. "My Mommy Comes Back" speaks to kids who are left at Grandma's or a day care center ("my mommy comes back, she always comes back..."). Other songs on the 30-minute tape include "Shout & Whisper," "Rolling," and the self-explanatory "Today I Took My Diapers Off." ''--Doug Thomas''

Mayor's Community Toy Drive 2015
Help Us Bring A Smile To A Child!
it's that time of year again when we share the holiday spirit to put smiles on the faces of Oakland's children in need. The Oaklanders Assistance Center, with help from our friends at the Oakland Fire Department, has organized one of the city's largest toy distribution sites. Last year alone we were able to provide toys to over 8,000 children from low-income families. That's over 16,000 dolls, trucks, books, board games, sports equipment, and gift certificates.
There are two ways you can help us meet our goals:
Make a tax-deductible contribution. Each year demand exceeds the number of toys collected – especially for older kids. A tax-deductible monetary donation will help us purchase the additional toys needed. To make a secure, online donation, visit https://posweb.oaklandnet.com/POSWeb/toydrive.aspx.
Donate toys. When you're out shopping, pick up something extra for a child in need. Just drop a new, unwrapped toy in one of the many collection bins that will be in place through December 23. You may drop toys off at any of the following locations during regular business hours:
Oakland City Hall, 1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, 150 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza & 250 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza
Oakland Police Administration Building, 455 7th Street

How to sign your Children up for the Toy Drive
To sign up to receive toys you must be a low-income Oakland resident only and the legal guardian. We can only serve up to four children per family, up to the age of 12. You will need:
- proof of income

- proof of children's ages, such as birth certificate, medical card or school ID.
Registration takes place on:
Saturday, December 5, 10 am to 2 pm

Please enter on the 14th Street side of the building
There is no need to line up early at either location, as everyone that shows up will be registered.

TH 1396/R1X Eyewear
The term "visual aid" is unsuitable for TH 1396. This is an accessory that ushers in a new you, emphasizing your clear view on fashion. The TH 1396 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Tommy Hilfiger collections 2015 and 2016.
The frame is specially designed for men. Sporting clear lines, New School Cool meets traditional quality. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The quadratic shape is a good choice, especially for softer facial features. The square glasses give more contour to a round face. The straight outer edges also give the impression that the face is longer. The metal frame is very light and comfortable to wear. It is both robust and classy. Brown is the perfect alternative for those who find black too high in contrast. Brown flatters the face unobtrusively.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
Even if this Tommy Hilfiger is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

I dislike that the office is completely unorganized. The wait for an established patient to get an appointment is 8 months to a year. They bill the insurance incorrectly so you get stuck with the bill and spend hours on the phone. The physician won't fix improper billing codes caused by the errors of her staff and her own appointment unavailability. I strongly recommend finding somewhere else to go. Save yourself a headache.

Dr. Johnston is the best doctor I have ever had. She saved my life. She spends all the time needed, follows up if she doesn't hear from me and works hard after the appointment looking things up and asking questions to be as thorough as possible. I can honestly say I love my doctor!

I currently hold 2 Certificates of Eligibility (CEs) to teach Elementary K-5 and Middle School Math. I am a substitute teacher in some of the school districts in the Union & Essex counties.

I was contacted by a parent whose son had taken algebra 1, failed, was taking it the second time and was actually almost failing it again. I patiently worked with the student to get the fundamentals of the subject right, went with him over all his homework, assisted in building up his self confidence in algebra and within weeks, his math school teacher noticed a remarkable difference in his average. He was also able to offer help to some of his classmates on their homework. And of course, he passed! I have similar testimonies of students I have had to tutor over the last school year. With my experience in the corporate world, I am able to relate the relevance of math in our everyday activities to my students.

Good Luck, Good Wife: 13 TV Shows That Survived Killing off Major Characters
Originally posted 03/24/2014 12:00PM
Killing off a main character in a television show is a risky move: You're upending the show's world (and putting a coworker out of a job) in the hope that the shake-up will lead to something greater down the line. And guess what? Despite the ministrations of fans, who claim that they will never watch their favorite show without [insert character name here], it often works!
Below, 13 shows that did the same thing The Good Wife did Sunday night, and not only survived, but thrived.
MTV's Teen Wolf Creates Memorial Site for Fans to Mourn Major Character's Death
Originally posted 03/18/2014 10:00AM
SPOILER ALERT: The text below reveals major plot points to the Monday, March 17, episode of MTV's Teen Wolf
MTV is launching a special website for angst-ridden fans of its Teen Wolf series to collectively mourn the sudden death of one of the show's main characters in Monday night's episode.
Immediately after the third season's penultimate episode ended at 11 p.m. ET, MTV had the site TeenWolfMemorial.com ready to offer solace for people upset that the character Allison Argent wound up on the wrong end of a sword wielded by a mythical Japanese demon.
Argent, played by actress Crystal Reed, is the ex-girlfriend of Scott McCall, the drama's lead character.
Argent's death shouldn't entirely be a surprise; MTV has been advertising that one of the show's main characters would be killed off. The network kept that character's identity a secret, although the announcement that someone was doomed launched plenty of online speculation.

Caramelized Onion Pizza
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
This was in the ad from the Coop I like to visit

Good! Fortunately, I love a pizza diet. Unfortunately, I also, love ribs, macaroni and cheese, lasagna, fried pork chops... Made for A-NZ Reunion Tag.
Fabulous pizza variation! I used an orange bell pepper. The caramelized onion base was wonderful - so flavorful with the balsamic vinegar touch. Thanks for sharing!

The Most Helpful Fifth Third Bank Reviews
The most helpful favorable review
Very friendly and helpful
The people at this location are very helpful and friendly. They were kind enough to do a notary signature for several documents I needed. It is not my bank and I informed them as much. The branch manager welcomed me into her office and gave me the help I needed, on 2 separate occasions.
Everyone in the branch greeted me upon entering and were very warm.
When I change banks here locally I will be glad to do business with this location.
The most helpful critical review
They aren't Honoring Deposits
I made a deposit yesterday which posted yesterday and they did not honor the full deposit first before the debits were made, and charged me an overdraft fee today. I called to tell them that they have always honored the deposits first before the debits, especially when I have deposited before 12 pm and they tried to tell me that they didn't, only $100 of the deposit. Obviously I have never had this problem before- I've always had all of my debits covered the same day when I have deposited before 8 pm - way before the banks were closed. They are obviously stealing people's money for no reason and I am switching banks for this reason. They will not be around much longer with this treatment of their customers trying to 'gaslight' them into thinking they are wrong.

Horrible customer service everytime
Unauthorized payment transaction was posted on a my statement I called 5/3 right away they wanted to charge me a fee for the a stop payment that I had nothing to do with. The supervisor I spoke to never followed thru the stop payment all he did was post it to the following week. a conference call was made with all parties present both parties agreed to it be a mistake and a stop payment should be done and authorized by the 5/3 supervisor. 5/3 did nothing to protect its own customer, 5/3 is nothing but a joke of a bank. Denied stop payment requests, and overdraft fees. I spoke with someone just about every two days within the past two weeks with no resolution. It was suggested that I close the current and open a new account....same issue. I regret the day I walked into 5/3.

Fifth Third Bank 1620 n telegraph rd. dearborn mi
Went into the location for a card cancellation. Days later find out the card was not cancell had to go out of my way to re-cancel and was rushed off the phone by women representative. Also I requested them to not tell an associate I dont prefer to work with them any more they stated they will not and he will not know a new person will help you. To find out that they were gossiping to the guy about that I did not like working with him. So I have been lied to, wasted time, and rushed off the phone, does not seem this location has much care or disregard for the customers.

Business Checking Account
Fifth Third Bank has horrible customer service. I had a business account with them they gladly opened it with no problem. However; throughout the experience got ruder and ruder. Finally, when I had enough, I went to close my Business Checking to find out that they charge a $50.00 charge to close it, per account. The HORROR.... Amazing how they don't disclose that up front. Not worth having a bank account these days. Really??? What's the benefit???Thank you for your feedback Is this review helpful?

My dad and mom applied for a loan with Martha. Documents provided closing was expected to be within 30 days. Guess what closing took over 45 days. Closing costs around $8,000. Lease expired and now no place to live. All this because Martha provided all the documents to the processor at her convenience. Ohh by the way Martha Ramirez is a mortgage banker that will not return your phone calls as well as her secretary. Processing deparment will also not provide you any information. No status update at all. Finally, if you have a lawyer, no worries that bank will not talk to your lawyer as well so good luck applying with fifth third. They simply disregard you as a customer.

Can't get cash as computer is down
This morning we went to the Bank to get $1000.00 in cash, before the Memorial Day Week-end.
They said the computers were down so were unable to give any cash, said they would call when they were up. We said we would call and check. Called, could not get through, put in a loop. We went back to the bank about an hour later to request that they call someone to get the cash released. Everyone was very rude including a customer who got into the fray. We walked out of there with the needed cash. Can't believe a bank can't function without a computer. They can take your money but not give it. We are a Private Banking customer and have been for at least 15 years. I think we need to find a new bank. Their customer service stinks.Thank you for your feedback Is this review helpful?

Lasting imagery, profound acting and exciting characters set the stage for Lookingglass Theatre Company's latest production, Moby Dick, the classic tale of the monomaniacal plight of Caption Ahab who is hell bent on destroying a fierce sperm whale who cost him his leg, even at the expense of his own crew. As the story goes, a crew is assembled for a whaling expedition only to find out their captain has another agenda – revenge. Though the play successfully conveys a sense of unity we also feel a dark loneliness that feels foreboding from the story's beginning.
Lookingglass Theatre is brilliantly transformed to effectively capture the essence of the ocean with the use of flowing fabrics and strategic lighting and uses more than a touch of creative genius in order to pull off a believable whale. As the story unfolds, three stoic red-headed women become part of the set sometimes enhancing the dialogue with their ghostly words of warning and at other times representing the stormy waters or the whale itself. The three are as haunting as they are graceful, dreamily heightening the story's focus at just the right moments.
Still, it would be difficult to present a plausible production of Moby Dick without a fiery Captain Ahab, but, thankfully, Lookingglass has found their man in Christopher Donahue. Donahue, seemingly born for the role, is as blistering as they come and brings the doomed captain to life with the vigor and fervor deserved for such a classic character.
Jamie Abelson excels as character/narrator Ishmael. A seasoned sailor who has served on a number of merchant ships, Ishmael finds himself aboard a whaling ship for the first time and plunged in the midst of Ahab's quest. Also, outstanding is Anthony Fleming III as Ishmael's faithful companion, Queequeg, a South Pacific Ocean native whose loyalty is to truly be admired.
Along with the tremendous acting performances and scenic bliss that thrusts us into an imaginative world of high seas adventure, several acrobatics feats also play large in creating such a high level of excitement in this play. Actors are able to utilize the large stage area as they scurry up the walls, balancing high above the crowd, or performs stunts on the enormous whale skeleton that envelops the theatre's interior.
Splendidly adapted and directed by ensemble member David Caitlin, Moby Dick is a true homage to the classic tale of revenge written by Herman Melville in 1851. A production for the entire family to enjoy, Moby Dick is being performed at Lookingglass Theatre through August 28th. For tickets and/or more show information, visit www.LookingglassTheatre.org.
Aptly named, "On Your Feet!" is on its way to Broadway and officially launched their World Premier right here in Chicago at the Oriental Theater. The show tells the story of Gloria and Emilio Estefan through music and dance, laughter and tears. There were so many things that I enjoyed about this show it is hard to figure out where to start!
Written by Alexander Dinelaris (most recent credits include the screenplay for the Oscar winning "Birdman"), the story moves fast, initiated as a flashback from the tragic tour bus accident that landed Gloria in the hospital with a spinal cord injury. We are introduced to a young Gloria, played by the Alexandria Suarez, on laundry day in Miami. In a flurry of dancing, singing and swirling pastel sheets, Glorita grows from a young girl to a teenage Gloria, played by Ana Villafane, who wows us with a powerhouse voice that will blow you away.
My favorite character of the show is Consuelo, Gloria's spunky grandmother played by Alma Cuervo. She is the catalyst that brings Emilio and Gloria together, supports her shy granddaughter to follow her dreams, and delights the audience with her quirky one-liners - my favorite being "terrible shorts, great culo!" after our first introduction to a young, short-short wearing Emilio, played by the handsome Josh Seggara.
Hit after musical hit carries us through the first act as we watch Gloria break out of her shell and take the spotlight while her and Emilio quietly fall in love. As their lives move forward, we learn more about her father's time in the Cuban police force and then the American military and her mother's lost dream of singing. The entire story is supported by energetic dancing, effortlessly changing set design and costumes that transport you from Cuba to Vietnam to Miami.
While first act ends on a high note as Gloria successfully crosses over into the English speaking market with a performance of "Conga" that gets everyone in the theater dancing, the second act deals with more serious challenges as the relationship between Gloria and her mother is broken and rebuilt, and the family deals with the aftermath of the horrific bus accident. In scenes that will bring tears to your eyes, we learn more about Emilio's escape from Cuba and say goodbye to family members who have passed and witness Gloria's triumphant rise back to stardom.
Villafane and Seggara are fantastic as Gloria and Emilio. Villafane's incredible singing and dancing makes you believe it was actually Gloria Estefan you are watching. Seggara is spot on in his acting and his lovable Cuban accent, which makes up for his singing that is not his strongest asset. The use of projected images and sets that slide on and off the stage with ease, created a wonderful backdrop for spot on dancing by a core ensemble. The choreography, by Sergio Trujillo, was rooted in Latin dance, with impressive moves that were performed completed in sync with style and flair.
Overall, I can whole-heartedly recommend this show to anyone looking for an exciting, fast paced show that will have you dancing in your seat and on your feet! The show is running at the Oriental Theater through July 5th so grab your tickets soon – you will not want to miss this!
I really enjoy seeing shows at Lifeline Theatre partly because they always have very cool and complex sets that they make the most of and partly because of the unique little touches they add to make the theatre more user-friendly, like a shuttle to take you to their free parking lot in a neighborhood where finding parking right before show time can be impossible.
I also like the way they put blankets on each seat in case you get chilly during the show! They also have the most reasonably priced snacks ever in a theatre where a soda or snack only costs one dollar instead of three for a bottle of water and five for a bag of trail mix like at the bigger theatres. All these details along with consistently quality productions make this a very welcoming theatre space to frequent as well!
"Soon I will Be Invincible" is based on the book by Austin Grossman and this dynamic production at Lifeline Theatre is no exception because set designers (Alan Donahue) and lighting (Becca Jeffords) have done a terrific job transforming the space into a multidimensional futuristic world with many visually exciting set, light and sound changes.
I thought the story would be more suited to young people and Comic Con nerds and in many ways the play was a comic book lover's dream come true, but it also held a lot of interest for older playgoers in that it explored the psychological struggles of a team of superheroes who are past their prime and trying to make a comeback of sorts by saving the world once again from Dr. Impossible - played with a lot of great "evil" presence and humor by Phil Timberlake.
Fatale is a newbie to the superhero team, originally created by Dr. Impossible himself and is a replacement because one of their main members - Corefire- was missing in action and presumed dead. Fatale was played with great sensitivity and with a great singing voice by Christina Hall.
Fatale describes at length her sadness at not having an exciting and mythic "origin story" like the other super heroes. Fatale only remembers that she was in a car accident in Brazil and when she awoke had been implanted with a large numbers of bionic parts by Dr. Impossible. Fatale talks about the constant pain she is in from having all of these mismatched and unfixable, metal parts as part of her human/robotic clone body which I really think many of us older play goers also feel in our own bodies as we age and begin to lose our "superpowers" like running, playing certain sports and climbing stairs with ease, etc.
Also, the whole theme of wanting to "save the world" and trying and failing to do so over and over again is a theme many theatre goers of my generation identify with. Every day there is more news coverage of very real evil villains/people/ tyrants, but we as peaceful citizens with no apparent "superpowers" are thwarted from actually doing anything to help the victims around the world. Perhaps this is because of the "superpowers" to kill and destroy life that these criminals actually do have, including chemical warfare, heavy artillery, and now the prevalence of kidnapping, torture and rape (termed "child marriage" in third world countries), which is actually allowed by their judges and armed "police".
I also enjoyed that the play introduces the element of magic as a power heretofore unrecognized by even the superheroes because it does not have the same clear destructive effects as a giant burning hot laser beam, for example.
In the end Fatale does help save the day and realizes that she is happy enough in the now moment to stop searching for her "origin story" and live amongst the superheroes with self-confidence and pride no matter whom she was originally created by or why.
I liked the songs in the play; I felt they really added a good flow and much more human and flowing emotional storytelling to what could have been an unpleasantly "robotic" and slightly stiff production in its execution.
I highly recommend this play for young and older viewers alike. I know that comic book enthusiasts will feel that they are seeing a rare treat created just for their enjoyment and others will appreciate the very important subtext in this play which is that you don't have to be a successful "super heroine" twenty-four hours a day in order to feel good about yourself and whatever natural powers you do have for creating good in your life.
"Soon I will Be Invincible" is being performed at Lifeline Theatre through July 19th. For tickets and more information, visit www.lifelinetheatre.com.
Walking into the Harris Theater for the Hubbard Street Dance Summer Series, it is snowing on stage. Not real snow, of course, but feathers slowly fall, coating the stage with what resembles a light dusting of frost that we Chicagoans are so familiar with. The theater is filled with chatter as people are taking their seats, and as the feathers begin to slow, the theater becomes silent. And with a single feather that floats to the stage, the lights dim and the curtain rises.
Large black walls on wheels are the only stage props during the opening ballet Extremely Close. The dancers push, pull, and move the walls while they dance, disappearing and reappearing behind them as they do so. During the first half of the ballet, the dancers are slightly out of sync. At times they would come together seamlessly, and other moments struggled to dance as one.
A pas de deux have an emotional exchange toward the end of Extremely Close. The couple continuously go back and fourth between passionate embraces and cold exchanges. It is only at the end, when the black sheet is pulled over the woman's limp body that you wonder about the deep undertones of abuse.
The second act, Still in Motion, opens to the stage set as a white wave with a blue neon light at its crest. About a dozen dancers, ready to begin, frantically run off stage before the music starts, only to leave only one solo male dancer. There are times throughout the performance, as groups enter and leave the stage, where the music stops, but the dance continues. Showcasing pure movement, with only the sound of feet to the floor, is as intriguing as it is uncomfortable. The dancers are perfectly in time during the moments of silence, which makes it that much more mesmerizing.
The third, and by far most impressive ballet, Little Mortal Jump, starts with a French couple and their love story. The music is happy and light, the dancing uplifting and spirited. You almost don't notice the change in tone as the narrative fades away, and the large black walls from the first act make their way back on stage. The classical music and passion on stage overwhelms. At one point, as the lighting becomes orange and hot, the dancers begin to move in slow motion, so controlled and smooth, you almost don't notice this is happening right away. The moving walls once again let people appear and disappear as if out of nowhere, and make this piece hypnotizing. As the music, lighting, and dancing all come to a crescendo, and everyone is waiting for one last fouette or grand leap, the lights cut, and the audience, after taking a breath to gather what just happened, explodes into applause.
Alejandro Cerrudo has proven himself as an amazing choreographer with this series. Cerrudo's background as a dancer only contributes to his understanding of stage presence and movement. The lighting by Michael Korsch should also be recognized in how it manipulates the emotion and power of this performance, as well. Summer Series is an exciting must see this season.

Cor Theatre this time brings its latest production, "Love and Human Remains", to the intimate Rivendell Theatre in Edgewater. A psychological thriller that made waves in the 1990s for its daring and gutty material, "Love and Human Remains" is a story that revolves around a handful of Chicago couples amidst a serial killer on the loose.
It takes a good part of the first act before we get a good feel of who's who in this play. Beginning with a dominatrix who tales the tale many of us have heard at some point about Cuba Road where a young man is murdered in the woods while trying to get help after car trouble strands he and his girlfriend, we are soon introduced to roommates David and Candy to which are the main focus in the story. David is gay and is quick to use biting sarcasm every chance he gets. A former child actor now turned waiter, he is unattached and willing and able to find quick sex anywhere he can. Candy is looking for love and though attractive and seemingly kind-hearted, she doesn't seem to have much luck. As the story progresses David's tall and good looking friend Bernie is introduced, he often appears drunk and bloody, chalking it up to bar room fights due to his propensity to hit on unavailable women. Meanwhile the bodies are adding up.
Written by Brad Fraser and directed by Ernie Nolan, this is a play with much crotch grabbing and excessive nudity as the lesser known worlds of S&M and underground gay hook ups are also explored. It is a story of instant gratification, obsessions, guilt and consequence. It is also a story of hopefulness and finding companionship.
Andrew Goetten as David and Kate Black-Spence really steal the show with their electrifying performances. Goetten delivers Jeff Goldblum-like musings and over-analyzed histrionics, hitting perfectly called for tone inflection and sentiment on cue to project his feelings ever so effortlessly. At the same time, Black-Spence is able to channel her emotions in just the right way so that we can really feel for her character's sadness, guilt, loneliness and hope.
The first act moves a bit slowly and we kind of wonder if the ever present ensemble chants and comments in the background are necessary or detracting from the play's story. By the second act it becomes apparent the play would probably be better if acted out as a traditional presentation piece rather than being an ensemble piece whereas surrounding characters in the background are constantly chiming in along or around the main scenes. Still, the play does come together enough in the second act to where its intrigue becomes the focal point and we crave to see the outcome for each character.
It's dark, sexual and is funny in more places than one would expect. In time, it even becomes rather absorbing as a thriller.
"Love and Human Remains" is being performed at Rivendell Theatre in Edgewater through July 11th. For tickets and/or more information visit ww.CorTheatre.org.
ONCE has found its way back on the stage with an electric performance at the Cadillac Palace. With eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical and winner of the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, ONCE brought wit, attitude, and energy to Chicago.
ONCE tells the tale of life and love and the power of music. When a heartbroken, Irish musician meets a spunky, Czech immigrant, his world gets flipped around. The "Guy", Stuart Ward, tells himself he is no Bono, and that pursuing a music career is pointless. The "Girl", Dani de Waal, tells him that his talent will send him far and wide. Both connect through their love of music, which develops into a deep friendship. They write songs together, she instills confidence in him, and he falls head over heels for her. Quickly, their situation becomes complicated, and their modern romance is cut short when reality steps in.
ONCE is unlike your average musical. The instruments were on stage, rather than being in the pit. An ensemble cast of actors and musicians seamlessly transitioned into each scene. Their timing and demeanor impeccable. The set barely changed, only when a Hoover or piano rolled out on stage. Each actor remained on the wings of the stage (instead of going backstage), instruments in hand, as if they were football players waiting on the sidelines at their big game.
The Guy and the Girl (Ward and Waal) battled against each other with playful banter and sang inspiring duets together. Both of their voices blended into harmonious perfection, add the piano, and it was just beautiful. The 2007 Academy Award for Best Original song for "Falling Slowly" (starring Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová) was from the hit soundtrack. Whether it was sung as a duet, or with all cast members, it filled the entire theatre with energy. The "Falling Slowly" opening line "I don't know you, but I want to" sums up the Guy and the Girl's strong feelings for each other, and by the end of the story, both know each other too well.
The Cadillac Palace stage transformed into an Irish pub, complete with the mismatched wooden chairs, a bar, and rusty mirrors which covered the walls of the pub. As a surprising bonus, the audience is invited on stage to interact with the actors and musicians, and to grab a drink at the pub, before settling into their seats.
ONCE is filled to the brim with humor and raw emotion. It'll have you laughing one minute, only to bring you to tears the next. For people who haven't researched the ending, it is somewhat left for interpretation. Although, it is not a typical romantic ending, it is realistic. ONCE is sweet, raw, and powerful. Recommended for romantics, realists, musicians, comedians, or all of the above.
Individual tickets for ONCE at the Cadillac Palace Theatre range from $30- $95. Group sales: (312) 977-1710. The Broadway In Chicago Ticket Lane at (800) 775-2000. For more information, visit www.BroadwayInChicago.com.
What a thrill to see a costume piece with moderately contemporary dialog. Charles Hampton's adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos' "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" premiered during the height of theatrical decedance in the 1980s. Razor sharp wit borrowed from Laclos' 18th century epistolary novel about sexual conquest among bored aristocrats make this an extremely titillating and provocative piece. Just reading the text is tickling enough. The play garnered critical praise on Broadway, and was followed by an even more successful film starring Glenn Close and John Malkovich.
AshtonRep bites off a bit more than they can chew with their current production at the Raven Theatre in Edgewater. The problem with this production is casting. The role of the conniving Marquise de Merteuil is played with cool dignity by Sarah Pavlak McGuire, her composed cruelty is fascinating to watch. Unbalanced co-star and AshtonRep founder Robert Tobin takes up the role of Valmont. It's imperative that Valmont be a suave casanova, one who ebbs sex appeal. Tobin is neither. He also tends to misplace the dialog. He often delivers his lines with a confusing modern inflection on purposefully crafted antiquated phrasing.
Director Charlie Marie McGrath makes an interesting choice by changing the time period from pre-revolutionary France to pre-revolutionary Russia. Though, for what reason? Hampton's script leaves the audience with a powerful image conjured by projecting the silhouette of a guillotine on the background. It feels like a missed opportunity not to give this play the full depth it needs. The staging is well-conceived, running with the idea of a chamber drama, having the curtains drawn to accent scenes like storybook chapters.
All in all, AshtonRep presents a faithful production of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses." It's an ambitious play for an emerging theatre company to take on, but there is a great deal of chemistry between the female ensemble here. Hampton's script is sturdy and holds up well in an era in which most people are more familiar with the teenage re-telling "Cruel Intentions."
Through June 21st. The West Stage at Raven Theatre Complex. 6157 N Clark St. 773-828-9129
If you are Jewish, you will especially appreciate and love this play which is full of biting humor and keen observations about how modern day Jews define themselves philosophically and how that vision of themselves plays out in their family relationships.
"Bad Jews" is set in a beautiful New York pied de Terre or studio apartment on the Upper West Side of New York bought by the parents of brothers Liam and Josh and they are being visited by relatives following the death of their beloved grandfather
Their first cousin Diane Feygenbaum is a rabbinical student with an Israeli boyfriend who insists on being called by her Hebrew name Daphna a has to share the studio with them for a few nights and is outraged by the fact that spoiled cousin Liam has actually missed his grandfather's funeral because he lost his cell phone while skiing in Aspen.
During the course of the play we find out that Daphna is very intent on inheriting the gold Chai (Hebrew for the number 18, and symbol of Life) medallion necklace worn by her grandfather during the holocaust. In fact, he had to hide it under his tongue for two years in the Holocaust death camp he was kept in while the rest of his family members were killed. It turns out Liam has a plan to give the medallion to his "shiksa" girlfriend instead of an engagement ring just as his grandfather gave it to their grandmother 50 years prior.
A ferocious verbal fight breaks out and the true feelings of each cousin for the other and their Jewish values, or lack thereof, pour out with the fury and passion that sometimes occurs particularly after the death of a loved one.
Liam, played by Ian Paul Custer and Daphna played by Laura Lapidus are both hysterically on point in their portrayals. The fantastic monologues for these two characters, written to perfection by Harmon and well directed by Jeremy Wechsler are cutting but truthful, funny yet excruciatingly honest.
Non-Jews will find this play funny and full of Jewish stereotypes handled with great political correctness. Jews will see themselves in all their self hating and neurotic glory, with intelligence bursting at the seams.
I think Daphna could have been played with a little bit more compassion and a little less self righteous bitterness. At one point she mentions poignantly her education about the holocaust and her grandfather's "tattoo'" or concentration camp number burned into his arm. We realize as an audience just how deeply touched and perhaps scarred emotionally a sensitive child is by being thoroughly exposed to the horrors of the holocaust at the tender age of 13 , as every Jewish child who studies for a bat mitzvah is required to do.
There are a lot of self-hating Jews out there. I was one of them for a while, in part because of the patriarchal and misogynistic attitudes towards women in the Old Testament that Liam brings up during the play to combat Daphna's self righteous religious rants. Ironically, it took the realization that Jesus or "Yeshuah" (Jesus' Hebrew name) was the greatest Rabbi, indeed the greatest Jew who ever walked the earth that made me the proud, comfortable, self loving Jew I am today.
The title by Harmon, "Bad Jews" is both eye catching and absolutely perfect because by the end of the play it is clear there are no bad Jews, only good Jews who are internally judging themselves or being judged by others too harshly.
Skillfully directed by Jeremy Wechsler, I highly recommend this thought provoking and hysterical piece of theater for its brilliant writing and two fantastic performances created lovingly and delivered with mind blowing rapid fire delivery by Lapidus and Custer.
"Bad Jews" is being performed at Theatre Wit through June 7th. I highly recommend this play. For tickets and other info visit www.theatrewit.org.
"Jersey Boys", currently playing at Cadillac Palace, is the story of the Four Seasons and their journey from Newark, New Jersey to becoming a multi-million record selling group. I went to the opening night expecting an entertaining performance, but really, unsure of what lied ahead. I imagined the audience to be a little older, and it was, but there were a surprising number of young attendees as well. It even looked like it was close to a full house. Before seeing the performance I didn't know much about the story of the Four Seasons, but I did know their hit song "Sherry".
All I can say is, "Oh, what a show!" "Jersey Boys" is a thoroughly entertaining show right from the get go. The opening consists of a French band's cover performed in 2000 of Four Seasons' "Oh, What a Night". The song set the tone for how their music transcended to younger generations well after the band broke up.
The first character you meet as the band's history unfolds is Tommy DeVito, played by Matthew Dailey, who was the leader of the iconic group. You can't help but to be drawn to this character; he is very powerful and commands the stage - and has a pretty good Jersey accent. Hayden Milanes who plays Frankie Valli, has a beautiful voice and does a fantastic job recreating the legendary voice we have become so familiar with over the years. And here's a Four Seasons factoid - Joe Pesci, yes that Joe, was the one who introduced Frankie Valli to the group.
In addition to the amazing actors' voices, one of the best scenes in the play is when the band performs on television. The group is shown filming for a show while simultaneously playing a live feed from an overhead screen on stage. Older images flash onto the backdrop and the design team does a great job of reducing the quality of film to mimic that of the sixties.
The show doesn't have any set props on stage. The actors pull up a table or chairs every now and then for many scenes but is very limited. Instead, the show relies on graphics displayed on a large screen to set the stage. And although some of them work well, I found myself to be distracted by some of the art. Some of the images just don't fit the sixties which threw off my attention.
What really captures the essence of the band is their songwriter Bob Gaudio who is played by Drew Seeley. Gaudio is a gifted musician and wrote many of the band's hits including but not limited to "(Who Wears) Short Shorts", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like a Man", and my favorite "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You". It is rare to find many artists today who write their own music making it refreshing to be reminded of the raw overall talent of this great band.
"Jersey Boys" covers gambling, infidelity, children, excess of money, and death. Director Des McAnuff is able to capture many of the things that I appreciate in a musical without getting too heavy. After a slew of brilliant performances and one favorite played after another, the show ends with everyone, including the audience, singing along to the Four Seasons' anthem "Oh, What a Night". I, for one, left "Jersey Boys" walking like a man and in a really good mood.
I highly recommend attending "Jersey Boys" at the Cadillac Palace before it leaves on May 24th. For tickets and/or more show information visit www.BroadwayInChicago.com.
If you come with a dollar you may just leave with two. However, if you are not careful, you could also lose the shirt off your back. In the Neo-Futurist's latest endeavor "Trust Us/Screw You" we cautiously enter the world of the confidence man, as we meet the mark, the roper and the inside man. Created by Phil Ridarelli and Dan Kerr-Hobert, we follow the evolution of the age-old grifter from the 1920s to the deception that exists on massive scales today by banks, media and stock markets.
Ridarelli and Kerr-Horbert also star in this production which is considered a two-man show, barring an occasional plant and a band whose members also contribute in a variety of roles. "Trust Us/Screw You" has a rich, vaudevillian flavor and is often reminiscent to The Three Stooges as the fast-talking Ridarelli and Kerr-Horbert size up one of their targets before hitting them with the swindle, ala Moe, Larry and Curly.
In "Trust Us/Screw You" the audience gets a close-up look at many of the scams confidence men were known to use in taking advantage of the average, unsuspecting Joe before fleecing their victim dry. An assortment of social experiments are used with audience members as the two "work" the crowd with seemingly simple card tricks, nutshell games and other scams using the art of misdirection – the key to all successful cons.
Seasoned acting pros Ridarelli and Kerr-Hobert are hypnotic and work incredibly well together in re-creating these old school hustlers (they always work in teams as we learn), paying special homage to one of Chicago's most notorious confidence men, Joseph "Yellow Kid" Weil. The show is filled with one hilarious moment after another as the two victimize its clueless audience one susceptible mark at a time. As the show progresses, stories are shared regarding the scams they personally fell victim to from subway swindles to real estate deceit, likening the process and its players to a play whose cast of characters put on a show of smoke and mirrors for gain at a sucker's expense. With that in mind, as funny as the sketches are portrayed, "Trust Us/Screw You" is also a learning experience, or perhaps a bonding experience for all those who have been victimized in the past – most likely each and every person in the theatre.
Said Ridarelli and Kerr-Hobert on the creation of "Trust Us/Screw You", "We knew that if we did a show about con men, we'd have to do our best to screw over the audience. That's been our goal since day one, and hopefully, we can pull it off in a way that the audience won't go home hating us."
The show is quick-paced with a ton of laugh out loud moments and the atmosphere so warm and welcoming that one gladly volunteers to be dragged onto the stage to participate when called for rather than slink into their chair to avoid the possible embarrassment. It is also engaging and educational as we learn the mechanisms, techniques and lingo of the American Confidence Man.
"Trust Us/Screw You" is a highly entertaining experience that might leave you with an empty wallet (kidding) but will certainly send you home having had a thoroughly enriching time with more laughs than you can handle. "Trust Us/Screw You" is currently playing at The Neo-Futurium. For tickets and/or more information visit www.neofuturists.org or call 773-275-5255.

RC1019/50B Ophthalmic Glasses
RC1019 is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. The RC1019 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Roberto Cavalli collections 2015 and 2016.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. For angular facial features, round eyeglasses are particularly suitable. The edgeless shape softly contrasts sharp contours. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive. Grey lenses are a classic in sunglasses. Their high degree of neutrality with regard to the field of view, makes them particularly suitable for everyday use. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
Even if this Roberto Cavalli is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.
