Parker Players Theater Company

Parker Players Theater Company presents Rumors, Neil Simon’s wildly funny comedy of lies, panic, and social disaster, running July 17 through August 2 at Parker Players Theater in Barrington.
Set in 1988, Rumors begins with a wealthy New York couple’s anniversary party gone spectacularly wrong. The host is injured, his wife is missing, and the first guests on the scene are determined to keep the scandal under wraps. What follows is a fast-moving evening of cover-ups, mistaken assumptions, slamming doors, and increasingly outrageous attempts to avoid the truth.
Directed by Julie Price, Rumors showcases Simon at his comic best, blending sharp wit with escalating chaos and ensemble comedy.
Performances take place at Parker Players Theater, 540 W. Northwest Highway in Barrington. Tickets and information are available at parkerplayerstheater.org.

The iconic and delicious Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder is headed to you on Friday, July 24th!
Chicago might have its deep dish pizza, but there’s another hometown creation that’s just as hearty and delicious, and quite possibly even cheesier: the Pizza Pot Pie. Created in 1972 at Chicago Pizza &amp; Oven Grinder, located just across the street from the location of the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, this ooey-gooey masterpiece just might deliver the most legendary cheese pull in all of Chi-town!
This ingenious creation starts with scratchmade triple-raised Sicilian bread dough. It’s filled with rich homemade tomato sauce that’s slow-simmered with olive oil, fresh garlic, onions, green peppers, and whole plum tomatoes. And finally, cheese – and lots of it! Baked upside-down and served right-side-up, it’s a pizza like no other — comforting, indulgent, and uniquely Chicago.
Ordering closes by 12pm on Thursday, or when we sell out.
Your order will be available for home delivery between 2:30-6:00pm.View menu + order:&nbsp;<a href="https://dwell.social/4wG2Ixc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://dwell.social/4wG2Ixc</a>
