Lake Forest High School

Lake Forest High School Presents: The Outsiders
S.E. Hinton’s beloved classic novel comes to life onstage this fall in Lake Forest High School’s moving production of the play, The Outsiders. In Hinton’s depiction of Tulsa, Oklahoma in the mid-1960s, the teens were either Greasers or Socs. Caught within the rigid structure of this class divide, Ponyboy Curtis struggles to thrive, but with the help of both his real and found family members, he might find his purpose and path. This production is a must-see, especially for our own teen community members who have read the book, The Outsiders, in school.&nbsp;

<h3>Peach Jam: A Night of Allman Brothers Magic</h3>
Get ready to turn it up and settle in for a night of legendary sound. Peach Jam brings the spirit of the Allman Brothers Band to Gorton on Friday, October 16 | 7:30 pm. And from the first note, you’ll feel the groove.
Peach Jam is a collective of some of the best musicians Chicago has to offer. Formed in 2022, the band celebrates the music of the iconic Allman Brothers Band with passion, precision and plenty of improvisation. In other words, this isn’t just a tribute show. It’s a full-on jam experience.
First, the sound. Then the energy. And finally the feeling that you’ve stepped straight into a classic night at the Fillmore East.
The band brings together members of Chicago favorites Cornmeal, Terrapin Flyer, Old Shoe, Helping Phriendly Orchestra and the Brooklyn Charmers. Together they create a cosmic gumbo of hot jams, tight grooves, soaring vocal harmonies and down-home blues. The result is rich, soulful and built to move a room.
Expect extended guitar solos and deep grooves. Expect the kind of musical chemistry that only happens when great players share a stage.
And of course, expect the classics. The songs that helped define Southern rock. The melodies that fans have loved for decades. Plus the improvisational spirit that made the Allman Brothers Band legendary in the first place.
So grab a friend. Or bring the whole crew. Either way, settle in and let the music take over.
As Peach Jam likes to say, “People can you feel it? Love is everywhere!” And on this night at Gorton, you just might feel it too.
Join us for an evening of unforgettable music, great company and timeless sound.
