Steve Delahoyde, Jared Logan and Robert Buscemi are arguably three of the funniest men in Chicago. Delahoyde has been putting together hilarious short films for a few years now, Logan won “Best Comedian” at the First Annual Chicago Comedy awards and Buscemi is not only a 2006 U.S. Comedy Arts Festival finalist, he’s also one of local stand-up’s stars. The three of them are together for a one-night-only show at Annoyance Theater as “Three Dumb Men”—they’ll mix stage and screen performances together for a unique blend of holiday hilarity. Jenni Lamb, Brady Novak and Kristen Studard are also set to appear. (Mike Schramm)
“Three Dumb Men” at the Annoyance Theatre, 4840 North Broadway, (773)561-4665. This production is now closed.

Complementary Opposites: A Preview of "Serenade" and "Of Mice and Men" by the Joffrey Ballet “Both [ballets] are trying to deal with a particular time: One by healing with the beauty of dance, the other by trying to create empathy for beaten-down humanity. Right now, we’re facing some of the same issues, such as huge migrations from the workplace. Steinbeck shone a light on his time, and I hope we’re able to do the same.”
Let’s See Together: A Review of "Choir Boy" at Steppenwolf Theatre Among other compelling reasons to see "Choir Boy" is the power and musicianship on songs sung by the young men who play the students in the choir at the Black, Christian Charles R. Drew School for Boys.
