FREE concert Friday, July 17. Jim &amp; Justin on the deck at Twin Lakes! Jim and Justin are the frontmen of the band, Modern Day Romeos. Jim and Justin also have an acoustic duo. Both play acoustic guitar and cover a wide range of music from Top 40 hits, classic rock, 80s/90s songs, country, oldies, and more. They are unique from other duos because the people are just as much a part of the show as they are, so no two shows are the same. Between their eclectic song selection and interactive show, they will make sure all ages attending the event have fun! Visit moderndayromeos.com for more information. Seating is first come, first served. RoccoVino’s will be open for food and drink options available for purchase. No outside food or drinks are allowed on the deck or patio areas.

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.
