The Old Town School of Folk Music has a never-ending list of performances and one I’m especially fond of is the World Music Wednesdays. This series of artists showcases music from around the world including acts like Deolinda a Portuguese fado band and Adam del Monte an award-winning guitarist and composer that is equally accomplished in both classical and flamenco guitar.

The North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie has brought back The Hundred Dresses based on the childrens’ classic of the same name by Eleanor Estes. While the show doesn’t open until November it is a family favorite. There are special rates for schools as well as scout troops. Be sure to get your tickets early since this show sold out early last year.
