  4. You have the keys to the city

    At the Chicago Cultural Center, a young intern is stationed behind a tabletop model of downtown Chicago, miniature buildings made of painted wood blocks, old salt shakers and other odds and ends. There's even a tiny plastic cow. When people walk by, she invites them to play: "You can redesign Chicago!"

  8. In 'Roadkill' and 'h.g.,' powerful shows for small audiences

    There's nothing new in Chicago about theater in small spaces — that's a crucial part of the city's aesthetic. If you glance at my recommended shows, you'll see several pieces staged in theaters with fewer than 100 seats, including "Rabbit," "Lascivious Something," "In the Company of Men" and the not-to-be-missed production of "The Knowledge" at the Steep Theatre, where, as one of my theater-loving Tribune colleagues recently noted, you are plenty close enough to see the veins bulging in the neck of actress Caroline Neff.

  10. StoryCorps booth allows Chicagoans to make history into a microphone

    Sitting across from his son Peter in a warmly lit booth at the Chicago Cultural Center earlier this month, Chester Konopacki gave slow, careful answers about his childhood on his family's farm in Eastern Poland. He recalled he was tending horses one night with his cousin when, suddenly, "the ground was shaking." The Soviet Army had arrived.
