 Yacht rock is coming back to the Chicagoland area! Yachtley Crew will be in Joliet at the Rialto Square Theatre on October 30th for their second show in the area this month! Singer and guitarist Tommy Buoy joins Andrea to talk about the show, this 'awesome' genre of music and why 'yacht rock' is alive, well and thriving - and attracting a whole new generation of musicians and fans!  Tickets: rialtosquare.com
Then, we visit the largest exhibition in the country celebrating the Joffrey Ballet. Curator Julia Foulkes joins Andrea to talk about "The Joffrey + Ballet in the US" at Wrightwood 659 in Lincoln Park. The exhibition features rare photographs and films from original performances, as well as costumes, propes and posters.  Information: wrightwood659.org
Next up, it's "Gaslight" at the Oil Lamp Theatre. Director Susan Gorman joins Andrea to talk about this suspenseful thriller set in London and brought to the stage in Glenview.  We talk about the origins of gaslighting and how the play brings to life secrets lurking in the shadows blurred with deception. Gaslight runs through November 2nd. Tickets and information: oillamptheater.org
Babes with Blades presents the world premiere of "The Mark" at the Edge Theatre.  Writer Jillian Leff joins Andrea to talk about this story - 8 years in the making - which is centered in a dystopian society where a young laborer is given an unexpected chance to join the Army.  Now playing through November 22nd.  Tickets and information: babeswithblades.org
Finally, we introduce you to an all new improv show inspired by cozy games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley coming to Second City Tuesday nights in November.  Director Jo Belangia joins Hillary to talk about how Improvised Farm Life Simulator brings those games to life, immersing the audience in a new town, complete with NPCs!
