Phoenix Theatres Lennox Town Center 24 + IMAX with Laser

Join us for a special screening of Christmas in Chicago, presented by CIFF, followed by a talkback with Mark Nathan, the Director, Producer, and Writer of the film.
Celebrate the season with a festive night at Phoenix Theater on Wednesday, 12/17 at 7:00 PM. Enjoy the film on the big screen and stay afterward for an exclusive talkback offering a behind-the-scenes look into the filmmaking process.
This screening is the perfect event for anyone who loves Christmas, enjoys a heartfelt feel-good movie, or wants to learn more about filmmaking. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this cinematic experience!
In a feel-good, rom-com style, Christmas in Chicago turns the city vs. small town trope on its head. Set in the fictional Chicago neighborhood of Garrett Park (Lincoln Square) and filmed solely in Chicago, featuring several Chicago actors, businesses and notable landmarks, the film follows Felicity Jones, a marketing professional living downtown, who has a brilliant idea for an ornament scavenger hunt to save her family's toy store, Timeless Toys. First, she needs the heartbroken city alderman, Austin Ward, to approve her plan. Then, she must help him heal before he shuts down the whole campaign.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 

Together: Dave and Dan Duet, a Gay-Themed Holiday Cabaret with Audience Sing-along
The starring singers, David Stephens and Daniel Johnson, will be performing on Thursday, December 18th, 2025, at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 611 Randolph St., Oak Park, IL. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to show.
The show starts at 7:00 pm. Admission is free, but donations for local artists&nbsp;will be graciously accepted.
Together is a Cabaret concert for our turbulent political times, about two entertainers meeting at the 1996 Gay Pride Festival in NYC, and what happens next in their long-term, long-distance relationship, leading to their eventual life together in the Oak Park area. These seasoned cabaret performers will amuse and musically transport the audience with stories about their lives as out Gay men in an…uncommon interracial relationship. The show will include songs by Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Cy Coleman, Dave Frishberg, Rick Ashley and many more from Stage, Screen and TV.
Both David and Daniel are members of Chicago Cabaret Professionals, an advocacy group for the promotion of the art of Cabaret, as well as participants in the Chicago-based arts collective
Working In Concert, in which David served as co-creator and former Managing Director of Black Voices in Cabaret. Their previous solo shows include Soulful Seventies Sounds (David) and Wilde and Woolley (Daniel). They have also produced, directed and performed in Chicago-based musical shows over the past decade, and are long-time members of the Oak Park Area Lesbian and Gay Association (OPALGA+).
Collaborative accompanist for the program will be the celebrated and in-demand pianist/musical director/vocalist, Chicago-based Mark Burnell. Mark is featured in numerous jazz and gospel concerts around the area. We are pleased to have him join us for this performance.

Gold Coast Sounds Good Choir

Chicagoland's largest no-audition choral program for adults "55 and better" has nine choirs throughout Chicago and the suburbs, including the Gold Coast. Conducted by Jonathan Miller, the choir rehearses and performs at the beautiful, historic Fourth Presbyterian Church on Chicago's Magnificent Mile, 126 E. Chestnut Ave. Three sessions a year are offered -- two 15-week sessions in the fall and spring, and one 8-week session in the summer). All sessions include: a weekly 90-minute rehearsal with an additional (optional) online Friday rehearsal; guidance and instruction by professional conductors and accompanists; licensed sheet music; accessible rehearsal and performance venues; and free, public performances by each choir. Registered singers are also free to rehearse and perform with as many of the nine choirs as they wish for just one registration fee per session. Scholarships are readily available -- call the Sounds Good office at 630.395.9542 to apply. Sounds Good Choir also offers the only choir in Illinois for adults with early-stage dementia and their care partners. The Good Memories program is specifically designed to provide a safe, welcoming community in which to sing, socialize, and have fun. For more information about either program, to register for a choir, or to learn about upcoming concerts, please visit soundsgoodchoir.org.
