    I visited this theater today on a rainy Sunday Today production was For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf by Ntozake Shange also the cinema debut was directed by Tyler Perry a few years ago My daughter also recited a passage during a Black History program so I'm very familiar with this body of work My friend and arrived very early because email notifications suggested early arrival Tickets purchased online have to picked up 30 mins prior to showtime Free parking is available a few doors down in enclosed parking garage which is awesome The play is poetry, thought provoking and soul stirring literature In your face self evaluation about how woman of color would take abuse and disrespect just to loved That's all I will say not to spoil it but this ensemble of black and brown women only reference in the program by the color dress they were wearing I love the harmonies the sister love in which I connect with I'm in my own journey to find honest non fake and non superficial jealous hearted female friends its rough But the play made my faith be a little restored that sisterhood of friends existed The cast got so wrap up they all cried real tears I got chills Amazingly

    I live in St. Louis and have been to the Court Theatre twice. The first time was to see "Porgy and Bess" in 2011, and the most recent time was last week to see August Wilson's "Radio Golf". I will say that the interpretation of Porgy and Bess was interesting as all of the characters were dressed in white and there was no backdrop/set. It was very open, and had a minimalist approach. Still, the acting and singing was good. Radio Golf was excellent! The staging, acting, costuming, and set design was really well done. The price of the tickets also wasn't bad (I paid about $38 for a front row seat at the preview performance). I really enjoyed it and it was well worth the time, cost, and effort of making the trip! I really like the Court Theatre in that it's intimate and it seems like its directors have freedom to create pieces of theater in various formats. I also commend Court for including cultural diverse theater productions. I'd definitely return!

    It's an old community theater with a small foyer, old seats, and simple stage. I watched Iliad here and that production quality was superb.

    If you are looking for something new and exciting...check out this group!…read moreThey only perform a handful of times a year, but the performances are definitely worth the wait. My favorite venue where they perform is the Monastery of the Holy Cross, in Bridgeport. The acoustics are fantastic - the chorale's voice is particularly superb when it lingers in the air for a second or two. They are one of the many reasons I love living in Chicago!

    Full disclosure, I have been a member of the Chicago Chorale for four years, so I am a little…read morebiased. However, I think we are a very special choir. We are a community choir based in Hyde Park, and at one time had ties to the University of Chicago, but have now struck out on our own, which is a pretty risky thing to do when one is located in Hyde Park. Comprised of 60 singers from all over the city and of all occupations (lots of physicists and music teachers, but still...), the Chicago Chorale sings predominantly sacred music from the Baroque era, and often sings a capella. In the past, we have performed Bach's B Minor Mass and St. Matthew's Passion. This 2008-2009 season, we will sing Ralph Vaughn Williams's Mass in G Minor, which we began rehearsing last night and man, is it gorgeous, for the fall, The Messiah for Christmas, and Rachaninoff's Vespers in the spring. We will also record the Vespers this spring, which will be our 4th cd. This past summer we performed with the Chicago Symphony Chorus at Ravinia, under the direction of Erich Kunzel, and have also appeared on WFMT three times. If you appreciate thoughtful, historically accurate classical sacred music, please visit our website, www.chicagochorale.org, and consider ordering season tickets. We are performing in many neighborhoods and even suburbs this season, so you don't have to worry about finding your way down to Hyde Park.

    There are times when one needs to attend an artistic event to reignite the soul…read more "Oh Sinnerman, where you gonna run to? Sinnerman, where you gonna run to? Where you gonna run to? All on that day" After heeding Nina Simone's call, THIS Sinnerman headed to the DuSable museum to see Muntu dance theater perform a tribute to Nina. I am not a fan of Nina, I have outgrown fan-dom. I am what some consider a fanatic. A devoted fanatic. In my 30 years of existence on this planet I have only come across a few people who are bigger fans of Nina than I am. Knowing my fanaticism well, the husband treated me to an afternoon of everything Nina. "Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah Well I run to the river, it was bleedin' I run to the sea, it was bleedin' I run to the sea, it was bleedin' All on that day" I ran to see Muntu perform when I realized they were paying a tribute to Nina's protest songs. Anyone who is familiar with Nina's involvement in the civil rights movement knows that she wrote/ performed some of the famous songs during those trying times: Mississippi Goddam, Old Jim Crow, Pirate Jenny, and my all time favorite and the root of my nickname, Four Women. It is only appropriate that the tribute during Women's History month focused on Nina's fight for civil rights. The performance started with a dance number that invigorated my senses and excited me all over. Four men dancing to the energetic beat of African drums made the audience erupt in a thundering applause. The intro dance number was followed by four women performing Erets Zavat Chalav, one of the lesser known Nina's songs. Although it is not one of her protest songs, the artists at Muntu related it to the struggles of that time. Erets Zavat Chalav, a Hebrew song meaning "land of milk and honey" shows the allure of "promised land" during the struggle for equality. The Muntu creative team successfully and elegantly converted a religious song to show how the people fighting for equality at that time were hoping for the promised land flowing with milk and honey, just as described in the holy texts. Following on the heels of Erets Zavat Chalav was Sinnerman. Once again, the Muntu creative team took an old folk and religious song and related it to the current struggles for justice. They adeptly used Sinnerman to depict the injustices that happened, and continue to happen, during hurricane Katrina. All the sinnermen better be prayin' for the Lord to save them for what they did. Sinnerman was followed by my all time favorite, Four Women. The story of four Black women - aunt Sara, Saffronia, Sweet Thing, and Peaches. There were not many dry eyes in that auditorium after the performance. The performance made us feel the pain of four different Black women and their struggle to find acceptance during the old trying times. The four female dancers were phenomenal in depicting the four characters. "So I ran to the Lord I said, Lord hide me, please hide me please help me All on that day He said, child, where were you when you oughta been prayin'? I said, Lord, Lord, hear me prayin' Lord, Lord, hear me prayin' Lord, Lord, hear me prayin' All on that day Sinnerman you oughta be prayin' Oughta be prayin', Sinnerman Oughta be prayin', All on that day I cried - POWER!!!!!!!" And I prayed, I prayed to the Lord that the performance would never end. I am one of the least religious people on the planet and the performance made me pray. I prayed that Muntu dance theater will thrive and I get to see more of their performances. I have seen many dance performances, most of them are the kind that are beautiful to look at and make you feel happy. It is rare for a dance performance to make you feel a variety of emotions such as pain, suffering, anger, and joy. That is what happened to me, I felt all the emotions. My soul was reignited and my eyes couldn't cry anymore. Thank you, Muntu, for providing my version of "chicken soup for the soul". *wipes off few tears* (Sinnerman lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZiToJlsD7w)

    I love the work and performances put on by the dance company!read more

    My wife, two teenage sons, and I stopped by this chapel during a visit to the University of Chicago…read morecampus. We were stunned by the amazing detail and beauty of this Gothic church and the wooden organ. The organist seemed to practicing), so we had the benefit of hearing music in this lovely space. I would highly recommend that you stop by the chapel if you're touring the University of Chicago campus. It really is a magnificent building that only be fully appreciated from the interior. The space is very peaceful and leads you to a moment of reflection, or just a pause in the middle of a busy day. Enjoy! From the Robie House, it's about a 5-7 minute walk to the chapel on the south side of campus (in front of the Midway Plaisance).

    The Rockefeller Chapel is really the visual center of the University of Chicago and is named after…read moreits founder. While it's built and decorated in the style of a gothic cathedral, it actually does not have any religious affiliation and is home to all kinds of events, including convocation, orientation, weddings, concerts, yoga, and a variety of religious events. Aside from some of the public events that you can attend, you can also walk through to enjoy the architecture whenever the university is open and there are no events taking place (so most weekdays). There are also daily tours of the tower and carillon; if you are comfortable walking up all the steps it's very interesting and provides an amazing view of the campus. Every day at noon on campus you can also be treated to the carillon bells being played. Sometimes it's classical music, but other times it can be the sesame street theme song or a pop song; it's up to whoever is playing that day.
