CANTERBURY SUMMER THEATRE OPENS 55TH SEASON WITH ROMANTIC MYSTERY 'THE VIOLET HOUR' JUNE 14-17

Temperatures and curtains are rising this month as Chicagoland theaters welcome the summer season, including celebrations of Pride Month and Juneteenth. To highlight these productions, The League of Chicago Theatres recently published its Summer Theatre Guide, which includes 100+ shows running in the Chicago area through September.

Illinois State Rep. Barbara Hernandez, D-Aurora, has helped secure a $400,000 grant for Paramount Theatre in downtown Aurora, one of numerous new projects she successfully advocated for in Illinois’ recent budget negotiations that will improve a variety of local and regional infrastructure issues.

After waiting through a two-hour rain delay, the Schaumburg Boomers were unable to complete a road sweep of the Evansville Otters, suffering an 8-1 defeat on Sunday night in Indiana.

Despite storming back in the game’s final three innings, another comeback effort fell just short for the Gary SouthShore RailCats (12-17) in a 12-10 loss to the Cleburne Railroaders (16-13) on Sunday at The Steel Yard.

Chicago Fire FC (3-6-8, 17 points) fell 2-1 to the Columbus Crew (8-6-3, 27 points) at Soldier Field on Saturday night. The result marked the Fire’s first loss at home through nine League matches played this season.
