This week on the show, a plethora of activities for adults, kids, the partiers celebrating the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day festivities and the cultural enthusiasts into dance theatre and dance ensembles. First up, it’s almost St. Patty’s Day in Chicago and that means GREEN everything, including the dying of the Chicago River. We’ll take you to the best places to get an up close and personal look, as well as the bird’s eye view of the biggest celebration in Chicago every March.
First up, we’ll talk to Grace Fuller from City Cruises to tell you how to hop on board a boat to see up close and personal how the river is dyed green! Then, we’ll keep the party going as we talk to Kevin Kelly, the marketing director for the Royal Sonesta downtown so you can save your seat on a rooftop and along the water with plenty of corned beef and cabbage, live music and celebrations from the Riverwalk all the way to the penthouse level, 39 stories in the air!

Next, we’ll put on our dancing shoes for two amazing shows! First, we’ll tell you about the Evanston Dance Ensemble's upcoming rock 'n roll-inspired show “Ramble On” happening March 19-22 at Northwestern University. Artistic Director Enid Smith gives us a preview of the show will feature world premiere dances in a variety of styles set to the music of Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin and more! Then, we head to the Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble where founder Ellyzabeth Adler gives us a preview of the upcoming “Architecture of Memory”, as well as their upcoming programs for kids and adults!
