Be prepared for audience participation and a special “sing-along” section that will rock the room! Come relive the soundtrack of your TV life—one theme song at a time!

SUMMARY:UNCLE ROY
DESCRIPTION:Chicago \nA moving and deeply personal documentary\, UNCLE ROY follows the extraordinary life of Roy Blakey—world-traveling ice skater\, renowned photographer\, collector\, and pioneer of gay male photography—as seen through the eyes of his niece\, filmmaker Keri Pickett. As Roy faces the challenges of dementia in his nineties\, Pickett embarks on a race against time to preserve both his remarkable archives and the legacy of a man whose life intersected with queer history\, art\, and performance. \nFrom touring the world with Holiday on Ice to creating groundbreaking male nude photography and documenting generations of performers\, Roy’s story is one of creativity\, resilience\, and self-discovery. The film is both an intimate family portrait and a celebration of a queer artist whose work helped shape LGBTQ+ visual culture. \nBuilt from nine decades of photographs\, films\, letters\, and memorabilia\, UNCLE ROY is a heartfelt exploration of memory\, legacy\, chosen family\, and the importance of preserving queer history before it disappears. \n“A powerful look at one man’s work capturing the gay liberation movement of the 1970s and 1980s.”

SUMMARY:Idle Muse Theatre Company Presents “Witch\,” September 10 - October 10 at The Edge Off-Broadway Theater
DESCRIPTION:Idle Muse Theatre Company continues its 20th anniversary season and kicks off the Halloween season with Witch\, September 10 – October 10\, written by Jen Silverman\, directed by Idle Muse Ensemble Member Libby Beyreis\, at The Edge Off-Broadway Theater\, 1133 W Catalpa Ave. \nA charming devil arrives in the quiet village of Edmonton to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes. Elizabeth should be his easiest target\, having been labeled a “witch” and cast out by the town\, but her soul is not so readily bought. As the devil returns to convince her – and then returns again – unexpected passions flare\, alliances are formed and the village is forever changed. An inventive retelling of a Jacobean drama\, this sharp\, subversive fable debates how much our souls are worth when hope is hard to come by. \nThe performance schedule is Thursdays\, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.\, with an added Wednesday performance on October 7 at 8 p.m. General admission tickets are now on sale for $20 and $30\, with $50 “pay it forward” tickets that assist in subsidizing tickets for those who may not be able to access the production otherwise. Student\, senior and group discounts are also available at IdleMuse.org or at the Idle Muse Theatre Company Box Office\, 773.340.9438.

SUMMARY:THE SWALLOW
DESCRIPTION:Open Space Arts presents THE SWALLOW\, an intimate and deeply moving two-character drama by internationally produced Catalan playwright Guillem Clua\, author of SMILEY\, which Open Space Arts presented in a successful extended run in June and July 2026. \nFeaturing Michelle McKenzie-Voigt and Jim Nally\, THE SWALLOW is set during a private singing lesson between a choral director and a new student. As they work together on a song\, what initially seems like a simple musical exchange becomes something more personal\, more complicated\, and more revealing. \nWith humor\, tension\, and emotional precision\, the play explores grief\, memory\, family\, faith\, identity\, and the stories people tell in order to survive. Music becomes both a refuge and a doorway\, allowing two strangers to move toward truths that have been difficult to face. \nTHE SWALLOW is a powerful theatrical encounter about loss\, compassion\, and the possibility of connection when people are willing to listen. \nPerformance Schedule \nTHE SWALLOW runs September 11–27\, 2026\, with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 3:00 PM. \nA possible extension would run October 2–18\, 2026\, with the same performance schedule: Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sundays at 3:00 PM.

SUMMARY:The Uncanny Attic: Chapters I-L
DESCRIPTION:The Uncanny Attic is a theatrical anthology inspired by Edward Gorey’s iconic The Gashlycrumb Tinies. This absurdist dark comedy series brings to life\, and then almost immediately to death\, the book’s twenty-six ill-fated children. Each installment ‘chapters’ of The Uncanny Attic creates imagined histories for four of Gorey’s ill-fated characters as told through puppetry\, clowning\, dance\, live music\, drag\, stop-motion animation\, and visual theater. \nSet inside the mysterious attic of an abandoned house on the cape and narrated by a family of resident raccoons\, each chapter is a self-contained theatrical journey into the camp macabre world of the fictional town\, Willowdale. There\, through a series of not-so-random circumstances\, audiences encounter an unforgettable cast of eccentric characters whose fates inevitably lead to a delightfully sticky end. \nThe Uncanny Attic: Chapters I-L cast includes veteran performers in several disciplines including co-creators Jennifer Friedrich (Incurable Theater\, Redmoon Theater) and Bazuka Joe (Poonie’s Cabaret\, Newport Theater Camp)\, along with Jill Summers\, Susie Kirkwood\, Josh Levine and Mackenzie Shapiro\, Luc Ami\, Mz Love\, Karma Carnelian\, Derry Eire\, Marla Wyrd\, Lady Ve’Lush\, Vixxie Velvet\, and Vixen Violencia. \nThe Uncanny Attic is an original performance series created and produced by Chicago-based Beautifully Gruesome Productions\, the creative partnership of Jennifer Friedrich (The Bunny Royale) and Bazuka Joe. \nBeautifully Gruesome Productions is honored to partner with The Edward Gorey Charitable Trust in bringing The Uncanny Attic to audiences.

SUMMARY:Metropolis Performing Arts Centre Presents “Ride the Cyclone\,” September 16 - October 25
DESCRIPTION:Metropolis Performing Arts Centre\, located in the heart of downtown Arlington Heights\, 111 W. Campbell St.\, is proud to announce the cast and creative team for Ride the Cyclone\, September 16 – October 25. Ride the Cyclone is presented with book\, music and lyrics by Jacob Richmond and Brooke Maxwell. The Metropolis production is directed by original American cast member Lillian Castillo\, and music directed by Carolyn Brady. \nIn a now-abandoned theme park not so long ago\, six teenagers hurtled to their death on the roller coaster The Cyclone.

As instructed by a fortune-telling machine named The Amazing Karnak\, the teens need to decide who amongst them will receive the gift of returning to their life. As they fight to be the one to return\, they realize that life’s ups and downs\, tragedies and victories\, love and loss are all just part of the ride. \nAn added bonus to the Metropolis production features Director Lillian Castillo.
