What happens when a family decides to hold a séance for Jerry Garcia on the anniversary of his death? Waiting for Jerry Garcia — a new play by Dan Zellner, directed by Steven Yandell — is about to find out.
Three family members, played by Becca Blatt, Drew Mierzejewski and Tyler Skaafgard, gather around a séance table, each carrying their own hopes, regrets, and unfinished business. What follows is funny, tender, and surprisingly moving — a comedy about life choices, failed dreams, and what it means to love someone you never knew.
The evening doesn't stop there. A live acoustic Grateful Dead jam session and community sing-along follows the performance, led by musician Jim Cullom and featuring The Uke Jammers with Mitch Thomas. Bring your acoustic instrument. Bring your voice. Just show up.

For over a decade, the Morton Grove Farmers' Market was a popular event that brought the community together outdoors from late spring through early fall and also held indoor markets for the holidays which welcomed attendees for free. We are continuing that tradition with our twice yearly "Market Faire" this Fall on October 24 presented by the Morton Grove Chamber of Commerce - <a href="https://mgcci.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://mgcci.org/</a> - with the support of the Morton Grove Park District.
Rich Block, President of the Morton Grove Chamber was also managed the Farmers' Market who wanted to bring back an indoor event for the holidays for the residents of the village and surrounding communities to enjoy. The spirit of those markets continues as a place where people come together to meet, eat and enjoy entertainment while shopping for items from local artisans and crafters, visit with service providers and get information from the village and local organizations. 
 The first event was titled as a "holiday faire" attracting shoppers interested in seeing vendors who provided all that was needed for the holidays (gifts, catering, music, photographers, decorations, party rentals and more). That concept transitioned to an artisan crafts fair as others wanted to share their goods and services who offered gourmet foods, home repair services and more from home based businesses. We quickly outgrew our original locations and found a new home at the Morton Grove Park District's Prairie View Community Center on their first floor main gym that now allows us to have expanded the amount of vendor tables with easier access.&nbsp;
The Chamber's goal is to grow these Market Faires (this fall on October 24th from 9 am to 2 pm. Next Spring Market Faire will be May 8 close to Mother's Day in 2027. We are growing into a twice yearly, popular event for all to find interesting items, services and information while meeting their neighbors. We hope you will join us and share the event with your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and anyone interested. Please help us spread the word so we can more people to attend the market. For more about the Morton Grove Chamber or our twice-yearly Market Faire please contact us at 847-965-0330 or by email at: Director@mgcci.org THANKS...we hope to see YOU at the Faire!

Glenview New Church

A special community-wide Service of Remembrance will take place on Sunday November 8, 2026, at the Glenview New Church Auditorium, located at 74 Park Drive, Glenview, Illinois, 60025.
The event is free, open to all, and specifically designed to support anyone experiencing the ongoing grief of losing a family member, neighbor, or friend.
This community gathering focuses on collective healing, shared comfort, and honoring the enduring impact of those who have died. The event will feature four interactive tributes:
<ul>
 <li>Reading of Names: Attendees can have their loved ones' names spoken aloud.</li>
 <li>Candle Lighting: A collective “lighting” (battery operated) of candles to symbolize shared warmth and memory.</li>
 <li>Photo Sharing: Guests are invited to bring a small, framed photograph to place on a communal memory table.</li>
 <li>Memory Sharing: Attendees will have to opportunity to gather in small groups and share a favorite story or memory of their loved one.</li>
</ul>
Grief can often feel isolating, especially as time passes and the rest of the world moves on. We created this service to remind our neighbors that they do not have to carry their loss alone. It is a dedicated space to speak their names, share their stories, and find comfort in community.
Doors will open at 1:45.
The event will last approximately two hours to allow for everyone to have a turn to speak in their small groups. Light refreshments, conversation, and a time for shared reflection will follow immediately after the closing.

Rembrandt Chamber Musicians Presents: Pallavi Mahidhara Plays Dohnányi
Rembrandt Chamber Musicians welcomes acclaimed pianist Pallavi Mahidhara for an evening of chamber music masterpieces spanning the Classical, Romantic, and early twentieth-century eras. Joining Mahidhara are violinists Michael Gurevich and John Macfarlane, violist Carol Cook, and cellist Calum Cook in a program that showcases the remarkable versatility and expressive power of the piano in collaboration with strings. The concert opens with Beethoven’s beloved “Gassenhauer” Trio, a work filled with charm, humor, and dazzling interplay among the performers, followed by Frank Bridge’s richly expressive Phantasy for Piano Quartet, a compact masterpiece of lyrical beauty and dramatic intensity.
After intermission, the full ensemble comes together for Ernő Dohnányi’s Piano Quintet No. 1 in C Minor, a youthful work of extraordinary ambition and craftsmanship. Written when the composer was just seventeen years old, the quintet combines sweeping Romantic melodies, virtuosic writing, and symphonic grandeur, revealing a composer of remarkable maturity. Together, these three works trace a compelling path through more than a century of chamber music, highlighting both intimate musical conversation and powerful ensemble brilliance.
