Outback Summer Sessions

While we are “coming out” of Covid and starting to think “live entertainment”, The North Shore Center for Performing Arts has found a perfect way to use their outdoor space. They have created an area for an outdoor stage, with boxed off seating areas ( BYO chairs) in Skokie, The garage is still a garage ( with free parking) and the lot that is under normal circumstances the handicap lot, has been converted to the stage and seating area. It is effective and works ( providing the weather co-operates).

After a successful Music Theater Works “Legends of the 50’s and 60’s” and the Ensemble Espanol Dance Theater, they will have the Chicago Philharmonic  June 27th and this will be followed by the shows:
