You Cannot Look Away

There isn’t a happy ending. The playwright doesn’t offer a single resolution. There’s no intermission to give the theatergoer a break in the play’s heavy sensory overload. Running for an uninterrupted two hours, Will Arbery’s one-act drama, which opens A Red Orchid Theatre’s 34th season, is performed with honesty and earnestness by a very talented cast. This Chicago premiere is dynamically directed by dado, a familiar face at A Red Orchid Theatre. During the course of this politically charged drama, five diverse characters each equally demand our attention. They never let the audience off the hook, bombarding the theatergoer with their individual viewpoints, physical and emotional traumas and their need for understanding and concern. It’s true that often a theatergoer will attend a production that asks the audience to relax, sit back and enjoy it. This play instead wants you to lean forward, think and engage. HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING is the kind of play where the audience will not be able to look away.

Del Sur Bakery To Reopen After Thanksgiving In Bigger Space

RAVENSWOOD — Before Justin Tiu Lerias opened Del Sur in March 2025, he wasn’t sure how popular his Filipino-inspired bakery would be. Presented with the opportunity to take over a former beer brewing supply store in a two-story building next to the CTA’s Brown Line Damen stop, he operated on the side of caution and put a wall up, dividing the space in half.

In Viral Stunt, Hundreds Try and Fail to Move Anish Kapoor’s ‘Bean’ Seven Inches to the Left, To Help the Man Supposedly Trapped Inside

“We need to move the bean 7 inches to the left. First push @12:47 pm 11/8/2026.” MultiMillionaire Collector Fred Eychaner Sued Over Chicago Museum Expansion So read a cryptic flyer that appeared in Chicago in recent days, referring to one of the world’s most popular pieces of public art. Hundreds heeded the call, gathering on a sunny Sunday in a benign flash mob. In the end, the crowd was no match for a 110-ton stainless steel sculpture. The subject of the viral campaign was, of course, British Indian artist Anish Kapoor’s silvery sculpture Cloud Gate (2006), which stands in downtown Chicago’s Millennium Park. Inspired by liquid mercury, the 66-foot-long, 33-foot-high public artwork is nicknamed the Bean in reference to its shape, which resembles the kidney bean. A 12-foot-high walkway underneath the sculpture forms the titular “gate,” where countless visitors have marveled at their reflections and posted selfies. You might ask: What? Why? Well, the IRL attempt to shift the sculpture results from a viral rumor that has long circulated online, which says that a man is trapped inside. The event’s Partiful page , created by a mysterious “gs,” says that “new findings suggest that there might be [a] latch door
