All members of the Oak Park-River Forest Chamber of Commerce are invited to a Chamber Night Out!

This event was organized with the help of the Wednesday Journal. Thanks to the following Chamber Gold Members who helped sponsor: Batteries + Bulbs, Flood Bros., Frazier Orthodontics, Illinois Vein and Vascular, Oak Park Arms and OakParkApartments.com. Thanks also to Pineapple Dance Studio for donating a gift for each of our guests!
One of our bloggers, Doug Deuchler, wrote a review of Festival Theatre's "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" and said:
"We are extremely fortunate to have Oak Park Festival Theatre's charming production with its captivating young cast, strongly and imaginatively directed by Lavina Jadhwani, here in Austin Gardens for the next month. It's a light, breezy midsummer confection.
Among its other attributes, this work is basically a laboratory of dramatic ideas — a wonderful warehouse of possibilities Shakespeare would tap into when writing future plays, such as two men in love with the same woman, a woman disguised as a man, mistaken identity, a band of forest bandits, smart-aleck servants, a babe-on-a-balcony, and young lovers triumphing over obstructive parents."
