This Sunday Super Human is inspired by the Illuminati. If anyone knows Tila Tequila tell her there’s a comp in the box office with her name on it.

Tonight! KEENAN AND FAMILY (Directed by Irene Marquette) - DIRTY SHOW

upstairsgallery:

Wednesday May 15th- 6pm, Free (Donations Accepted), BYOB

Two aspiring teen sketch enthusiasts are taking a crack at writing/producing/performing their own show of entirely original content! Local artistic enabler Irene Marquette directs. This show will be for their friends and promises a “loose” fun flavor!

Come check it out! 

LOCAL ARTISTIC ENABLER!!!! <3 <3 <3

This show is the senior project of two very smart and funny people from New Trier high school. I’m their mentor/community adviser and have been directing them and teaching them how to produce their own show. They’ve done a tremendous amount of work on this.

If you don’t come to this secret ‘dress rehearsal’ then stop by at 8pm on Friday for the ‘real’ show! Teachers and the senior project review board will be there to witness the madness.

I love this picture of Rapunzel by Arthur Rackham. The hook on the building and the way she&#8217;s holding the base of her neck shows the part of the story that isn&#8217;t written - the painful every dayness of her life. She isn&#8217;t sitting next to the window singing and brushing her luscious locks, she&#8217;s the transportation that lets her captor come and go. Her face turned toward the shadows of the birds on the wall and the plants growing out of the bricks hint at how desperate her situation is. At least her tears cure blindness. More Arthur Rackham
