Joffrey Ballet Announces 2023–2024 Season at Lyric Opera House || 68th Season Highlights Include: Chicago Premiere of Liam Scarlett’s Frankenstein || Christopher Wheeldon’s Holiday Classic The Nutcracker || Hummingbird by Liam Scarlett and Yonder Blue by Andrew McNicol || World Premiere from Choreographer Stina Quagebeur and The Return of Alexander Ekman’s Midsummer Night’s Dream

**** Highly Recommended  The Copley Theatre production of "Next to Normal" is a beautiful rock musical about a heart-wrenching subject, mental illness and its effect on a family.  It is gripping, emotional and beautifully performed (with some of the best voices I’ve heard anywhere).  I won’t give away all the plot turns, but be warned, all is not what it seems.  I give it 4 Spotlights.

In celebration of HAMILTON’s return to Chicago an opportunity for the Chicago community to engage in a scavenger hunt throughout the city, from August 8 - 13. Participants will be entered to win tickets to HAMILTON in Chicago. 

Thanks to their first grand slam of 2023 and a combined bullpen effort, the Gary SouthShore RailCats (33-42) prevailed 8-6 over the Chicago Dogs (38-37) in their first matchup at Impact Field in 2023.

The Schaumburg Boomers were limited to just three hits for a second consecutive contest, suffering a fourth straight defeat by dropping an 8-0 contest at the hands of the Joliet Slammers in the opener of a six-game homestand at Wintrust Field.
