Growing up on Chicago’s South Side in the 1960s, Eddie Ryan is learning a lot — and not just from the Brothers at his all-boys Catholic high school. Eddie’s world is populated by peculiar adults, oddball classmates, and puzzling girls — the greatest mystery of all. He takes it all in through the prism of his Catholic upbringing.
Featuring a vast array of catchy songs, this musical comedy is about the coming of age of eight Catholic school children. Starting from the second grade throughout his high school years, we follow Eddie and his friends through the ups and down of being in a private Catholic school.

September 1, 2022. The exhibition seeks to create dialogue and spark ideas related to the many ways humanity continually fails itself. Artwork from the previous year’s exhibition touched on topics such as the environment & climate change, dependence on technology, social injustice, Native American women disappearances and homelessness. Many of these ways are discussed in main stream media; some only on social media and small gatherings; while others are barely spoken or purposely kept unspoken. Artists are encouraged to submit work that captures or is a comment on a tradition, a system, a practice, an institution or anything they see that needs repair or removal that has existed in this state for far too long.

La Embajada (The Embassy) began by hosting underground dinners for 10 guests in their home in 2014. Monica, who is the perfect host, using her skills a Spanish teacher and history buff to educate guests on the multi-course meals they were about to enjoy. Her husband, Jorge Fabergat, did most of the cooking from a food truck. They never disclosed their location until you reserved your seat. Menu’s were not published and guests arrived f0r this unique dining experience where they learned about Argentina’s culture as well as got great explanations about each dish served and the wines they were paired with. Guests were “sworn” to secrecy so as to not tell others too much, and take away some of the fun of the experience.

We selected a couple of cocktails from their featured $5 list. The Don Julio Blackberry Rita was refreshing and slightly sweet. I appreciated the one large round ice cube that kept the drink cold, but didn’t water it down. My dining campaigns enjoyed the tartness of the Wheatley Strawberry Lemonade made with Wheatley Vodka, Monin Strawberry puree, lemonade house sour, lemon juice and Sprite.
did it all there, and after 3 months, the chef announced he wast taking his first vacation and left Mary in charge of the kitchen. Mary decided she liked it and then started to look for her own place. She said she knocked on doors to find a location willing to sell and that’s how she started The Barnsider.
