CLIFF COLES
Grammy winner Dianne Reeves brings her powerful jazz vocals to The Shedd this Monday. Reeves, who covers both well-known
classics and obscure treasures, has garnered endless praise for her most recent album, A Little Moonlight, which centers around
“the moment you’re ready to fall in love.” And there’s no doubt the audience will fall in love… with Reeves. See Monday Calendar.
Willamette Repertory Theatre performs the classic American drama A Moon for the Misbegotten , opening this week at the Hult
Center. The play, hailed by The New York Times as “Heart-stopping… Eugene O’Neill’s great elegiac love story…,” follows 1923
down-on-his-luck Broadway gambler Jim Tyrone, as he returns to his Connecticut farm to face his shortcomings and find
redemption. See Friday Calendar.
