CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS – PORTAGE PARK, LAKEVIEW, LOOP, RAVENSWOOD, NAPERVILLE
PORTAGE PARK
Running through Mother's Day at The Gift Theatre is a current rendition of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. As someone who saw Jack Nicholson make this production famous, it's great to see it come to live theater. Following the disciplined life of Nurse Ratched and ruminating with Chief Bromden while they both tolerate Randall P. McMurphy is a true rebellion worth watching.
LAKEVIEW
It's time to take in some theater. Opening night is Thursday at Red Tape Theater where you can see The Love of the Nightingale.

The theater is located at 621 W. Belmont in the heart of Lakeview East.
