Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart

Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart’s World Premiere of “Ladies of the Lake” is a ghost story, a mystery and a tale of friendship, healing and the search for belonging.
Through a creative collaboration with the author, Woodlands Academy English teacher and drama co-director Jennifer Brostrom (pen name Jennifer Allison), Woodlands’ cast and crew are bringing the Edgar Award-nominated mystery to life onstage in a spooky but heartwarming production.
Set in the 1990s and adapted from Allison’s critically acclaimed novel, “Ladies of the Lake” features Gilda Joyce, a self-described “psychic investigator,” news reporter and the newest student at Castlegrove Academy, a school with a very complicated past.
Woodlands Academy is an all-girls college-preparatory, day-and-boarding high school located at 760 E. Westleigh Road in Lake Forest, IL 60045.
"Ladies of the Lake" will be performed in the school’s Susan Saint James Performing Arts Center at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 22, Friday, Oct. 23, and Saturday, Oct. 24.
Tickets are $17 at the door but can be purchased for $12 in advance (up to noon the day of each performance) online at

Join Gorton Center for a night of smart, dry, and quietly devastating stand-up comedy with Emily Catalano!&nbsp;A Los Angeles–based comedian, Emily made her late-night stand-up debut on CONAN and has steadily built a devoted following through viral clips that capture her unmistakable voice and perfectly unhurried delivery.
Emily’s comedy lives in the details. With a slow pace that invites you to lean in, she transforms everyday observations into sharp, unexpected punchlines that feel both deeply relatable and completely original. Her jokes don’t rush for laughs – they let the humor simmer, then surprise you when you least expect it. That thoughtful approach has earned her widespread attention, including recognition from Time Out LA, which named her a “Comic to Watch,” and praise from Vulture, who noted, “They hit especially hard because they surprise you twice.”
