2-For-1 Tickets to Laughter!
The Chicago Sinfonietta and the Chicago Humanities Festival join forces for the fourth consecutive year to explore this year's festival theme, Laughter!
Oakland East Bay Symphony's Michael Morgan leads the orchestra in an exploration of "laughter" and the humorous impulses of composers featuring Jacques Ibert's jubilant Divertissement, Michael Daugherty's sarcastic Dead Elvis, featuring bassoonist Lewis Kirk, as well as Darius Milhaud's surrealist Le Boeuf sur le toit and Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 (Italian).
The Chicago Sinfonietta will present this program on Monday, November 2, 2009 at 7:30 pm at Orchestra Hall, Symphony Center, 220 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

2-for-1 Tickets to Spoon River Anthology!
To open their 29th season, the Saint Sebastian Players look to their Illinois roots through author Edgar Lee Masters and the yearlong celebration of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday with Spoon River Anthology in an original adaptation by SSP company member Jonathan Hagloch, who also directs the production and provides original music.
Masters created the town of Spoon River as an amalgam of several small towns in central Illinois. A wide variety of characters from this fictional town deliver epitaphic monologues with haunting honesty, on topics such as their lives, loves, triumphs, and tragedies. Masters' work was an immediate commercial success when it was published in 1915; the original book was unconventional in both style and content and shattered the myths of small town American life.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays through November 15 at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 2:00 pm at Bonaventure, 1625 W. Diversey Street in Chicago. Free parking is available in two lots.
