Daily Rehearsal: A UnMasked Ball

May 31, 2012

- Freud's Last Session has been extended again, through September 2. 

- You can attend Chicago Sinfonietta’s 25th UnMasked Anniversary Ball -- which is black-tie -- called Music UnMasked: The Colors of Sound this Saturday evening. Well, if you RSVPed by May 25 you could have (though it looks like there's still space).

- Porchlight's Chicago Sings benefit concert will celebrate Jerry Herman on June 18 at 7 pm at the Mayne Stage. On the roster: Sean Blake, E. Faye Butler, Joan Curto, Rebecca Finnegan, Heidi Kettenring, Ross Lehman, Tom Michael, Johanna McKenzie Miller, Meghan Murphy, Peggy Roeder and Bethany Thomas. 

- Tonight It's Live with Tom Bambara opens its 5th season at Oracle on June 9, for an erratic run of late-night performances this summer.  

- Phylicia Rashad and Paul Oakley Stovall will be talking back to you about Immediate Family during a preview performance on June 3 at 2pm at the Goodman; Michelle Boone, the Cultural Affairs commissioner, will moderate the discussion. It "will focus on the evolving portrait of African-American families on the American stage, as well as the cultural shifts challenging today's family bonds."
