**** Highly Recommended **** Once again, TimeLine Theatre brings us a thoughtful, well-researched, intelligent play about a person who appears briefly in American history. I"n 1834, a pair of American merchants brought a 14-year-old Chinese girl to America and put her on display.  Playwright Lloyd Suh has given that girl a voice in The Chinese Lady".  Mi Kang, who graduates from Northwestern with an MFA later this year, gives a tour de force performance as Afong Moy, "The Chinese Lady".  4 BIG Spotlights

**** Highly Recommended **** I almost didn’t recognize Writers Theatre’s smaller Gillian Theatre when I walked in, what with two tiers of seats facing each other across a narrow platform.  I did feel like I was walking into a gym somewhere to watch a sporting event.  Actually, I did watch an absolutely riveting sporting event inside a play called "Athena" which chronicles two girls competing in the sport of fencing.  Teen angst is one thing, teen angst amid friendship and competition is something else again.  Wow!  "Athena" is action-packed and it blew me away, it’s that good!  4 BIG Spotlights

Things did not go according to plan for the Gary SouthShore RailCats in their first game at the Steel Yard in 2022 as the Lincoln Saltdogs walked away with a resounding 13-3 win.
