The tour never ends, the words and music still flow, onstage and on album. More than half a century after he first performed in Greenwich Village, Bob Dylan remains the master.

A middle-aged 9-5er sits at attention at his highly organized desk in a dull, spare, wood-paneled office. He pores over a safety manual, vigorously highlighting essential remarks, forcefully repeating them to himself as though trying to permanently lodge their obvious yet hilariously vague sentiments into his head (strive to 'support functionality of ourselves and others'). With his 1980s comb-over and droopy eyes hidden behind coke-bottle glasses, Frank is one of those office drones that works to live, yet life outside the office seems non-existent. He's a sad, even depressing, figure, and yet, in The Pigeoning, created and directed by Robin Frohardt and presented as part of the HERE Dream Music Puppetry program (one of the few programs in the country to commission contemporary adult puppet works), he's exceptional.
A moving piece of ambient public art, composer Phil Kline's Unsilent Night can be compared to a holiday caroling party, except that participants don't sing. Instead, each carries a boombox playing a separate cassette, CD, or MP3 that becomes part of the piece. In effect, the 'performers' become single elements in a huge, mobile sound system. Performed within the confines of the city streets, Unsilent Night reverberates off the cars and buildings, resulting in a magnificent, drifting cloud of shimmering, echoing sound. The 43-minute piece includes chiming bells, choral voices, and various electronic effects.

Chicago, IL, November 6, 2013 – When we choose a mate we often think this could be 'the one' until our world turns upside down after the relationship turns toxic. What most of us are guilty of ignoring are the red flags that pop up; instead we plow ahead - trying to make the relationship what we want it to be rather than what it really is.
