North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie

Baroque trailblazers Antonio Vivaldi and J. S. Bach launch this journey through the world of 18th-century orchestral music. Concertmaster Gina DiBello shines in one of Vivaldi’s most intriguing dark-hued concertos, balanced by the buoyant, dance-driven elegance of Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 1. Telemann’s cosmopolitan brilliance and the bold innovation of his godson, C. P. E. Bach, lead seamlessly to Joseph Haydn’s impassioned Symphony No. 80.

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.
October 24th &amp; 25th | The Storefront, 4051 Main Street, Skokie IL
