This week on the show we feature FOUR local theatre groups...Music Theater Works, the Oil Lamp Theater, the Factory Theater, the Idle Muse Theatre and - we celebrate International Waffles Day with Chicago Waffles!

First up, Music Theater Works is putting on the classic musical "Guys & Dolls" at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie! We'll talk to the Director Sasha Gerritson about this timeless and iconic musical that runs through March 30th! Next, we head to Glenview and visit with our friends at the Oil Lamp Theater. Artistic Director Elizabeth Mazur Levin directs the must-see show "The Lifespan of a Fact" tackling facts in journalism -runs through April 13th - and talks about their new space! Then, we head to the Factory Theatre in Rogers Park where we're joined by Artistic Director Michael Jones who previews "The Curious Circumstances of Louis Le Prince" debuting this spring.  Next, over to the Idle Muse Theatre in Edgewater to talk to Evan Jackson about the show he's directing, "The School for Scandal"!  First debuting in 1777, Evan is bringing this show back to life showing how life really does imitate art - or vice versa!  And after all that, you'll surely be hungry, so we'll tempt your palate with everyone's favorite breakfast food - waffles!  Just in time for International Waffle Day, Chicago Waffles owner Lawrence Kreymer joins us to talk about waffle flights, chicken and waffles...you want it, they've got it...and they're opening a 5th Chicago Waffles location in Lincoln Square this spring!
