CHICAGO – One of the open secrets of Chicago is its horrible racist past, which remains like an echo. Playwright Joshua Allen has been exploring this theme in his Grand Boulevard Trilogy – the last chapter talking place during the infamous 1919 race riots – in Raven Theatre’s “The Prodigal Daughter.” For tickets and info, click TPD.
James McAvoy and Ron Pearlman in the Hobbit
“Budgets must be tight at The Hobbit. Why else would
they want a tiny, wee actor like James McAvoy to play the lead role of
Bilbo Baggins unless they wanted to save on the special effects?
The annoying Scottish star has been heavily linked to be the star of the heavily-anticipated movie, which will be directed by Guillermo Del Toro and produced by Peter Jackson.”
