And More Theater!

events 1 Minute

Firstly, I found a review and a couple of pictures of the Prelude For A Kiss, which I am happy to share!

And a Chicago Reader review, where I can second every word!

Secondly, Igor and I went to see a Thanksgiving Play at the Steppenwolf. I was almost about to give up on the Steppenwolf after several disappointments, and that outing was almost “the last chance.” I am happy to report, that I loved it!

It’s a play written by a Native writer, and it’s about “well-intended white people trying to do right things” and then things going very wrong. It is hilarious. Satirical. Laugh and cry. The characters are remarkably recognizable. Here is a review Igor sent to me after we saw the play. It tells the story of the playwriter, Larissa FastHorse, and how the production came together.

it is still not the end of the theater season. I have a couple of CSO concerts to attend, and two Goodman plays. And then I have to decide whether I am doing any theatrical subscriptions for the next season :).

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
