Chi on Stage:
Blogging live from Chicago.
Word.
My buddies and I took in a production of Concerto Chicago, a spoken-word musical performance about the racial and political history of the city at the Victory Gardens Theater. While the play was only ok, it reminded me that it’s just plain wasteful to be in Chicago and not take advance of the great theater happening all over town. And I’m not talking about week’s-pay-touring-broadway-tickets for a show you can see next summer in Topeka. I’m talking about homegrown plays to suit any taste and may cost you $15, if that. That’s the kind of entertainment bargain that wrenches me away from DVD’s and my ass indentation on the couch.
