		<description><![CDATA[Susan Sontag, in her seminal essays published in the early seventies in &#8220;On Photography,&#8221; observed that &#8220;ultimately, having an experience becomes identical with taking a photograph of it…&#8221;. And this was long before digital cameras, camera phones, photos on Facebook, sharing photos with Flickr—before photos everywhere, all the time. If life, now more than ever, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED
In the climax of the Steppenwolf revival of David Mamet’s “American Buffalo,” a polyester-clad, red-faced Tracy Letts tears up the stage, literally, by trashing the contents of a Chicago antique store circa 1975 so violently that audience members actually duck. But Letts’ current work as an actor, however intense and convincing, is nothing compared to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I enter my sixth year of Chicago stage criticism, I find it harder to distinguish raw talent when it’s marred by bad material. Because no matter how much passion and commitment is pumped into a mediocre play, the evening usually becomes a case of watching performers working tirelessly, but to tiresome effect.  The hard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED
Each year Duets For My Valentine pulls together an eclectic mix of dancers and companies from across the city to woo young lovers for one night at the historic Park West. The styles range from breakdance to ballet (and in the case of companies like Chicago Dance Crash, both at once) so both parties on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This show exemplifies the limitations of what even the most gifted directors and actors can accomplish with an outdated playscript; Fugard&#8217;s 1960&#8217;s South African anti-apartheid play is quintessential political art that doesn&#8217;t stand the test of time. &#8220;The Island&#8221; refers to the infamous Robben Island prison (that held Nelson Mandela, among others), where two cellmates [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do you make a satire about a satire?  That meta question goes unanswered—disappointingly so—in Second City’s new show “Rush Limbaugh! The Musical!”  There is so much lacking here, it’s hard to know where to begin.
Say what you will about the man, Limbaugh’s entertainment instincts are impeccable; he knows how to put on a show. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED
Polish playwright Slawomir Mrozek’s &#8220;The Emigrants&#8221; looks at two Polish emigrants in impoverished exile in 1980s Paris. Their world is divided into that which costs and that which is free. As they soon discover, everything costs.
Intellectual AA (Joe Mack) is a political refugee who immerses himself in the mind games and doublespeak he inflicts on [...]]]></description>

Once again River North gives ticket buyers their money’s worth in its annual V-Day engagement, packing the program with two world premieres, two pieces that premiered last fall and four popular works from the company’s repertory. Brand new works include a driving three-way dance battle by, coincidentally enough, New York choreographer Robert Battle, and a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED
Jesse is a videogame-playing rocket of a kid. But when Jesse’s exuberance disrupts his class and is followed by an ADHD diagnosis, his parents face a bewildering array of bad options. Drugs? Behavior modification? Unappetizing diet changes? Nothing seems to work.
Lisa Loomer&#8217;s meta-theatrical script captures the conundrum of modern parents living in a technologically advanced [...]]]></description>
