Classic Cinemas Tivoli Theatre is just that...classic! I have to admit I'm a bit bias as I get a…read morehuge wave of nostalgia walking through those doors but I think even without that, it is just a great theatre. Sure, there's not the huge selection of movies that AMC theatres have, but they are so good at getting new highly anticipated flicks. Plus, they have the After Hours Film Society that brings in a wider variety of films for the most dedicated viewers. Lastly, you absolutely cannot beat the prices of tickets and snacks. There are two screens that rotate movies. The seats don't recline with a foot rest, but they are so much better since the remodel. Much more spacious and comfortable. The main theatre also has a stage which expands opportunity at this venue for live performances. Such a great locally owned well-run business.

Today's presentation will broadcast on WGN Radio on a date and time to be announced in November announcement will be made at WGN Radio's website when it will air if you like to hear it again, or had friends that missed the show today. While they are a movie theater, they do at time live stage performances like todays 10 am show with John Williams and Clay Jenkinson, that us dome in their bigger auditorium, and where the other one must be. And of course the screen behind the curtain. I have never been here for a movie showing, and do think I will.

Oak Park Festival Theatre - Pygmalion

We saw Twelfth Night (July-Aug 2025) last night. I have been attending OPFT since we moved here…read more15+ years ago and this was one of the best Shakespeare productions they've had. I saw that the Tribune criticized OPFT's take for being too heavy on the comedy and light on the romance. I disagree; I thought that the emphasis on the comedy was a huge plus. Malvolio stole the show with Toby and Sir Andrew as great comedic support. Olivia's flip-flopping was also well executed for some good fun. The Fool had to compete hard for laughs.... I was delighted to find that this production had even our kids (11-13) laughing like crazy. This is excellent accessible Shakespeare in the park that is great for the whole family. Tickets for kids under 12 are just $5.

Why isn't there more outdoor theatre in the Chicago area? I mean, to some extent I get it (here in…read more2022, my car was dappled in slush and snow on April 8), but really this should be a bigger thing. As I think of it the only real options for this are Theatre on the Lake, occasionally when there's a Shakes in the park sort of thing happening, and Oak Park Festival Theatre in Oak Park. The work done by this company is really high quality, so you'll definitely get your money's worth and enjoy the performance if you enjoy the play. I came here in 2016 to see Pygmalion after a few years of saying I should go and then not doing so. OPFT has an illustrious history: The theatre was established in 1975 and has included such notable thespians (of course unknown at the time) as David Mamet as William H. Macy. Unfortunately, in November 2021 there was a fire that destroyed much of their equipment, historical documents, and I'm hopeful their fundraising efforts will prepare them to mount a new season this or next summer! Austin Gardens is in downtown Oak Park Parking is found on surrounding streets, or in the village parking lot (free after 6 pm). Accessibility is a bit harder to measure. It's a park, so it is as accessible as any park, but depending upon the type of accommodation you need, your mobility, etc. it may vary how accessible it is for an individual. They don't have wheelchairs or anything for patron use as far as I know, and as a park it may be difficult to hear at times. Alternatively, both the Green Line and the UP-W Metra line are within 3-5 blocks of the park, so that's a great choice for transportation, too. There are restaurants nearby, or for an even more fun option, bring your dinner to picnic before and during the play. Just don't disrupt your fellow patrons (so that means if you have things in wrapping and what not, maybe wrap in cloth or something that's not going to make a bunch of noise as you open it!).

I adore going to the movies, so when our local theaters re-opened after being closed for covid, I…read morewas there to support their reopening. To accommodate "social distancing" they have adjusted their online ticket purchasing so that when you buy "a ticket" you actually get the seat between two empty seats on each side of you. This is a cool system, in theory. So I can't blame the theater for: 1.) When I was moving across the row to my seat a seated client said, "Are we in your seat?" which means they were NOT in their ticketed seats. 2.) Three movie goers came in after the movie started and sat down directly in front of me, which is not possible since seating is for every other row. They obviously were not in their ticketed seats. However the theater appears to be doing a good job with wearing masks and gloves, cleaning the bathrooms and trying to keep their clients at appropriate "social distances", I can't blame them for "non-compliant clients".

Movie experience was less than it could be. The theater was warm this is the second time I've run…read moreinto this at Cinemark. Also during quiet times I could hear the movie next to us. When they Revamp this theater I should just fixing the air conditioning and Omar soundproofing. I will be checking out other venues for movies.

From the very first call to setup and subsequent pickup of the tent, chairs, linens, etc... after the event... Everything was flawless. Chris and his team had it all covered from start to finish. A few things to note since this was being setup in a back yard of a home... -They use barrels of water to secure the tent if spikes are out of the question. This did matter since some competitors use cement blocks that we did NOT want transported over grass for fear of "ruts". As it turns out we did not need weights so it was a moot point but again could have been an issue with competitors. -They will place the order for underground location of utilities (Julie). We jumped the gun and placed the order with JULIE ourselves, but this is part of their standard operating procedure when needed. All equipment was clean and in perfect condition, delivered. and picked up on time. All instructions communicated clearly and concisely. This company is run professionally by good people who really do care about their customers and their guests. Highly recommend heartland. You will not be disappointed.
