Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University

Take a rainbow ride through biblical Egypt on the wings of Andrew Lloyd Webber's uplifting music and the humor and poetry of lyricist Tim Rice. This irresistible musical about the trials and triumphs of Joseph, Israel's favorite son, paints a picture of betrayal and hardship, prophecy and forgiveness.

International Museum of Surgical Science

Saturday, October 15, 2005, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Deadline to sign up: October 7, 2005)

This museum is housed in a mansion on Lake Shore Drive, and a glimpse of its interior architecture in and of itself is worth a visit. Several floors of exhibits chronicle the amazing, sometimes gory, history of medicine and surgery. Exhibits include an 1873 apothecary, a turn-of-the-century dental office and a radiology room with X-ray machines from the early 20th Century. The museum even has a copy of the death mask of Napoleon. Temporary exhibits often focus on cutting-edge medical photography and computer-imaging techniques and art inspired by medical science. This event includes lunch at Emilio's Tapas Spanish restaurant.

Hortensia Museum of Dreams (Deadline to sign up: November 30, 2005)

Thursday, December 8, 2005 at 8:00 p.m.
Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago

A brother and sister, whose lives are forever changed when their mother puts them on a flight from Havana to the United States in 1961, return to their native land during the Pope's visit to Cuba. This is a tale of estranged siblings seeking to make sense of their disrupted childhood.
