    We went to see The Penis Monologues 3. This was an extremely good play! I definitely encourage supporting this play. There were some minor technical difficulties regarding the mics, but the cast was professional enough to speak louder so that everyone could hear them. We were in a VIP section, that we had no idea that we would be in, and were given autographed playbills from the cast! Thoroughly impressed for my first visit there! The staff was extremely friendly. Will definitely be going back again!

    This is the central library at 400 S. State street 60605. There's more to a library experience than books! We had fun with interactive toys. We saw one of a kind art, visited the media center (a great and safe teen hangout), then on our way out picked up a Passport to the Chicago History Museum. Go, explore, learn and have fun!!! Check out the Events page for free, out-of-the-ordinary productions.

    Beautiful building. The architecture is nice. I have no idea what this center is used for. I've passed this community establishment several times but I've never seen it utilized for anything.

    Humble venue in a historic neighborhood. Owners do a great job of programming a solid calendar but the facilities aren't of the highest caliber. Hopefully some money will be invested to get this gem back to a prestine state. Concession prices are a little high, but you hope the money is going right back to the venue, in which case, I'm more than happy to pay.

    Wonderful venue where all the seats are good. The 4 star is because there is not a big enough lot for this place to park, so whenever there is an event the surrounding area and traffic is a mess. The bus line is right on the side of the building if you need public transportation. This place is set in the heart of Bronseville. A gem of a place in a congested area ✨️.

    I had so much fun in a beautiful environment. The woman and brotherhood, that was there gave the night a special kinda vibe.

    Attended Liberty Baptist Church's Sneaker Ball. Nice affair but line to get refreshments were extremely long and limited seating especially for the health challenged individuals like me.

    Seating was ok, the vendor (Tonight's conversation) chose to seat ppl in a disadvantage to others order.

    Very quick service, they give a detailed report of anything they find during an oil change, and they will even let you verify the oil level before you leave.
