Think Fast: Project Runway, Footloose, The Color Purple, kids hate shots

Scotty Zacher | July 19, 2009 | 0 Comments

Broadway in Chicago has announced that the performance dates for The Color Purple has been reduced from two weeks to one week. We are told the reason is to allow Fantasia, the tour’s star, to also play a week in North Carolina. But could there be another reason?

A study by the National Center for Policy Analysis finds that children are overwhelmingly against children’s health services (especially shots….).

Lifetime TV has released an official trailer for the upcoming 6th season of “Project Runway.” I can’t wait!

Check out this week’s Talk Theatre in Chicago podcast: an entertaining interview with Stacy Flaster, director and choreographer of Footloose, now playing at Theatre at the Center.
