The shutdown of Broadway and most/all theatrical activity this summer hit me hard.I discovered theatre at age four. When I saw my first show, it was so early in my life that I can't even fully remember the experience. All I can remember is the warmth I felt in my heart when the stage lights came up, the way my breath caught in the back of my throat as the music swelled, and the joy that overcame me as I leapt to my feet to give a standing ovation during bows. From then on, I was in love. Obsessed. I couldn't believe that something so gorgeous, so communal and connected, existed in this world. I was four ye ars old and so early in life, I was able to see that the world was a glorious place to be in - a place full of art and music and costumes and flashing lights and dancing. I began auditioning for community theatre immediately. I memorized a full script before I learned how to read. I watched movie musicals, searched plays online, and carefully studied videos of choreography…

Two months after Chicago and the nation erupted in protest of George Floyd's killing by a white police officer in Minneapolis, a growing number of signs of the Black Lives Matter movement can be found around Chicago in the form of murals and street art.Some memorialize the movement on wooden boards outside closed stores. Others pay tribute more prominently, through expansive murals.In Wicker Park, near the CTA Blue Line L tracks, there's a mural of a young Black man holding a sign reading "I AM A MAN." The painting, completed in late June, recreates a 1968 photo from a memorial for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis. The slogan is from a two-month strike by sanitation workers in Memphis to demand proper treatment. King spent his final days with the striking workers before his assassination."We're having all of these heightened conversations about civil rights and humanitarian rights causes all over the world at the moment," says artist Darius De…
Tables have long been considered as basic articles of furniture produced in many different cultures all over the world and employed for various purposes such as dining places and altars for worshipping.
