laura freemanJoin Chicago Tribune Food & Entertainment Columnist Phil Potempa for a relaxing and nostalgic two-hour (including 15-minute intermission) stage visit of memories and storytelling, with a recipe or two whipped up with the help of the audience! The Theatre at the Center stage is transformed into a folksy and inviting recreation of the family farm – complete with kitchen, dining room and a cozy living room decorated for the holidays. And featuring singer Laura Freeman as seen in Gershwin’s “Nice Work If You Can Get It” performing all of the favorite holiday tunes accompanied by TATC Musical Director William Underwood on piano. From a gingerbread house building contest with contestants chosen from the audience to an old-fashioned Christmas carol sing-along and plenty of prize giveaways, this ticket is an early holiday gift for all ages!
