Why, the Nues St. John BrebeufFish Fry, of course. The March 13 tradition rounded out your choice of baked or fried tilapia with pizza bread, coleslaw and pasta to go in that soup. "Last week we had 68 so we're expecting to double that," said Dennis O'Donovan of Nues, president of the St. John Brebeuf Holy Name Men's Club who estimated attendance. O'Donovan, a 55-year Nues resident, is a 1978 Notre Dame College Prep graduate. He's a commissioner on the Niles Park Board ofCommissioners and a dad of three. O'Donovan and his wife, Laura, have three girls, Katie, 16, a Maine East High School sophomore; Danielle, 14, a Gemini Junior High School eighth-grader; and Enuna, 11, a Nelson School sixth-grader. People started filtering in about 5 p.m. A wall of windows in Flanagan Hall brought light into the multipurpose dining room. "We've got some ofthe finest chefs on the north side of Chicago right here in this room!" Gorski said. Boy and Cub scouts from Pack 175 worked together filling soup bowls and spooning ice cream. "It's pretty rewarding to see the boys working with the elderly people in our church community" Pack 175 Cub master KAPfE ANGELL LUC/PIONEER PRESS PHOTOS Paul Allison said.

"We're helping out to make money for our pack," said Scout Ryan Gates, 9, of Morton Grove and a Nelson School fourth- grader who prefers salmon butlikes tilapia. "I think it's nice for the community to get out and get together," said Gabi Gates, Ryan's mother. "It's nice they learn to help people and gets them out ofthe house." The two fish fry dinners in March raised about $1,000 with a portion ofthe proceeds benefiting the Boy Scouts. "It's not easy, you gotta work for it," O'Donovan said, of the lesson of earning money. The scouts cleaned the kitchen after the event, something O'Donovan was grateful for. Fred Disch, a 40-year Niles resident, is renowned for his batter recipe.

The origins of improvisation are indistinct, and for most part untraceable. An academic endeavor to establish its beginnings would go unrewarded, as there is no one distinct inventor1 of improvisation. This technique, or method, had been used as means of expression in art long before Spolin or Johnstone, and far away from Chicago or London. The Atellan farce (1 BC), secular entertainers and court jesters in China (10 BC), or the frenzied improvisations in Ancient Greece (600 BC) had preceded the 16th century commedia dell’arte2 the Italian improvised per- formance based on scenarios and/or sketches. The renaissance of improvisation in the 20th century was largely brought about by experimental artists who used it as means of expression, communication and representation. As a tool, a vessel or foundation improvisation existed in theater (both formal and popular), painting, poetry and music. It was an important substance, and an interesting addition to avant-garde art.

  • About After School Matters
    Letter from the Chair Dear Friends: During the past year, teens participating in After School Matters programs have demonstrated remarkable accomplishments in the arts, science, sports, technology, and communications. We are thrilled to continue making valuable and engaging out-of-school time opportunities possible for Chicago teens. After School Matters’ 2009 fiscal year was punctuated by several highlights. In September 2008, more than 2,000 guests attended our sixth annual After School Matters Gala on the new, then unopened, runway at O’Hare International Airport. In March 2009, our teens celebrated a global range of influences when they performed at the legendary Chicago Theatre during the fourth annual After School Matters Citywide Showcase. Guests at both events enjoyed thrilling stage performances, onsite galleries featuring the work of teens enrolled in our visual arts programs, and delectable hors d’oeuvres prepared by teens in our culinary arts programs. While these events always provide a spectacular opportunity to celebrate our teens and their talents, the importance and impact of After School Matters is evident in our programs year-round. During the 2008- 2009 academic year, Chicago teens participated in more than 30,000 quality out-of-school time opportunities made available through After School Matters. Through 1,300 programs offered in partnership with schools, parks, libraries, and community organizations across the city, these teens engaged in life-changing experiences that give them the motivation and confidence they need to transform themselves into innovative leaders, talented professionals, passionate artists – whatever they want to be. Thanks to our instructors, staff, partners and supporters, After School Matters has experienced tremendous growth over the last two decades and is now the largest initiative of its kind in the nation.

  • Written and Directed by Ensemble Member J. NICOLE BROOKS
    Written and Directed by Ensemble Member J. NICOLE BROOKS Cabrini-Green photo by Matthew Tuteur. Welcome Lookingglass is excited to share with you Her Honor Jane Byrne, written and directed by our fearless and brilliant Ensemble Member J. Nicole Brooks. As a born and bred Chicagoan, Nic has an important perspective on our complicated city and about the way geography, poverty, race, and inequality line up in Chicago. And how choices made in the past are still playing out in our city today. The play cen- ters on the three weeks that Jane Byrne moved into Cabrini-Green, a housing project that bumped right up next to one of the richest neighborhoods in Chicago (where Mayor Byrne herself was living at Artistic Director Heidi Stillman the time). This singular moment in Chicago history is a great way to see where we’ve come from and ask if there is a way forward for Chicago. A Conversation with Ensemble Member J. Nicole Brooks With Ensemble Member Kareem Bandealy, New Works Manager Kareem: You and I first met, Nicky, at an in-house read of an untitled, unfinished play by Lynn Nottage that becameRuined , and you’d told me you were premiering a play at Lookingglass called Ensemble Member J. Nicole Brooks Black Diamond. More than a few resonances…though yours came first. Talk about your journey as a storyteller from then (your playwriting debut) to now. What’s changed in your approach/process? What remains the same? Nicky: Wowzers, we go back a long ways in the sandlot. What remains the same? I’ve always thought of myself as a storyteller.
