Chloe Grogean

UNDERQUALIFIED: A Night of Comedic Characters and Existential Employees

Thursday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $15 with a two-drink minimum

If you're alive and have ever been a child, you've probably been asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?". But the real question is are we honest and say that we want to be American Idol winners because Kelly Clarkson is living the dream life, or that we want to become detectives because our mothers were obsessed with watching true crime documentaries growing up? Or should we say "nurse" or "teacher" because it sounds more "practical"? Underqualified is a one woman comedy show starring Chloe Grogean that explores the professions many of us dream about as kids through a collection of absurd and exaggerated characters and anecdotes. Co-written by Megan Hughes, the show exhibits the highs and lows of these professions through the naive lens of an adolescent who believes the weatherman lives in the TV, and that their online career test results actually mean something.

Melissa Young

Lucky Star: A Madonna Tribute!

Saturday, Sept. 25 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $20 with a two-drink minimum

It's been three years since Melissa Young's infamous "Madonna show" played in Chicago! The 2020 show is rescheduled and Young returns to Davenports one more time to perform the music of the Queen of Pop, Madonna. Over 20 of Madonna's songs, spanning her 38 year career, get a musical makeover. Lucky Star is a tribute show that dares to ask such musical questions as: What if Madonna met Disney to revamp "Papa Don't Preach?" or if the next hit show on Broadway was "Material Girl: the musical"? Jazz, Swing, and even Country all meet Madonna, America's most loved and hated pop icon. Nick Sula is back with Young this time around at the piano and Daryl Nitz, of Chicago's longest running cabaret show, The Nitz Howe Experience, directs.

Esther Fishbein

This is Me: Esther Fishbein (A Cabaret)

Sunday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $15 with a two-drink minimum

Esther's cabaret This Is Me: Esther Fishbein is going to be a night of fun songs that show off who Esther is to the world. She wants to share a part of her heart with you and through music is the best way she knows how.

Ashton Layne

Live at Davenport's

Thursday, Sept. 30 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $10 with a two-drink minimum

Originally trained in musical theatre and vocal jazz, Ashton Layne has been able to incorporate her technical musical knowledge into creating deeply personal, yet relatable original music. Ashton's music can best be described as having a unique modern-retro sound while still remaining accessible to a wide range of listeners. Join her for a night of music and storytelling as she performs her favorite songs and shares insight into how and why her music became what it is today.
