      Chicago’s Political Machine Runs Relatively Swimmingly in Strawdog Theatre’s ‘Old Town’
      CHICAGO – As a testament to its set design, it wasn’t immediately clear if certain structures were naturally part of the Strawdog Theatre space or if they were fabricated specifically for the “Old Town” production. It turned out to be the latter as this story of Chicago’s political machine unfolded with song, dance, wit, a relatively large cast and a 10-piece live band. In double-sworded fate, this relatively large cast turned out to be both a blessing and also its burden. The story’s set at a fictional hotel on election night where the Weltz dynasty wrangles with the Chicago voting public. Despite characters galore, Kat McDonnell as Cindy Weltz – the daughter of the man who’s currently running but just can’t cut it – melts nearly everyone else away. Karen Mosher (Sha

      Sobering Documentary ‘At the Death House Door’ to Premiere in Chicago From ‘Hoop Dreams’ Filmmakers
      CHICAGO – The Texas “killer burger” is literally sold right across the street from a state-mandated death house that brings convicted felons to their legal demise. While the death penalty is believed by many to serve a sort of justice to the guilty the majority of the time, what happens when the wrongly accused fall prey, too? Moreover, is it ultimately right to even treat the guilty with such eye-for-an-eye repercussion? The documentary “At the Death House Door” from “Hoop Dreams” filmmakers Steve James and Peter Gilbert will have a one-week engagement in Chicago at the Gene Siskel Film Center beginning on May 10, 2008.Image credit: The Independent Film Channel The United States has wavered back and forth in its stance on the death penalty.

      Pie Maker, Loony Boy Steal Rightful Spotlight From Sweeney Todd in Chicago Musical
      CHICAGO – While Johnny Depp’s portrayal of the demon barber of Fleet Street in the 2007 film iteration sells you on his fiendish ways, actor and singer David Hess in the musical bobbles more in purgatory rather than living hysterically in hell. In the musical thriller “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” which has a two-week Chicago engagement now through May 4, 2008, two other supporting characters – the pie-making Mrs. Lovett and the batty Tobias – rise above to take top presence prizes. The musical “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”.Image credit: The Marketing Group While Hess doesn’t underwhelm and is a sound selection for the lead role, neither does he overwhelm in the ferocious way he needs to. The production with only 10 actors and m
