September 24, 2014, Hyde Park Jazz Fest & U of C Orientation Guide
Reflections on the new year
By RABBI YOSSI BRACKMAN
As Jews throughout the world sit down this
evening to celebrate Rosh Hashanah – the
Jewish New Year - Chabad House will be
filled with a new crop of University of
Chicago first-year students who are
celebrating the holiday away from their
families, most likely for the first time in their
lives.
It is quite poignant that these two events
coincide almost every year. Rosh Hashanah
celebrates a new beginning and this message
of the holiday is most relevant for emerging
young adults.
It is difficult to properly describe the Jewish
New Year known as Rosh
Hashanah. None of the
available words seem to
capture the mood of this
milestone in Jewish time.
Holiday? Too frivolous. Holy Day? Too
somber. How, indeed, to describe the blend of
reverence and revelry, seriousness and
exuberance, prayer and feasting that all mark
this new beginning?
Rosh Hashanah literally means “head of the
year,” not beginning, nor start, but head.
Why? Because what a head is to a body, Rosh
Hashanah is to the rest of the year. Just as the
head contains the central nervous system that
controls the entire body, Rosh Hashanah is the
day when we can effect and bring change to
our entire year.
In this wonderfully diverse community of
Hyde Park, we celebrate each other’s
differences while recognizing the uniting
force of humanity which we all share.
Interestingly, Rosh Hashanah does not
celebrate the moment of creation; rather it
celebrates the creation of Adam, the first
human being as recorded
in the Book of Genesis.
The human being is
unique in that it alone is
created in the image of
G-d, thus endowed with
liberty and purpose and
the intellectual capacity
to choose to embrace G-d
and each other ahead of
our
own
desires.
Rabbi Yossi
Therefore it is the human
Brackman
being, each and every one
of us, who is the center of
the universe on whose conduct the entire
world depends. It is from us that G-d expects
fulfillment of his purpose in
creation. This humanity is
celebrated on Rosh Hashanah.
However, it is also with
solemnity that we reflect on
our purpose and hope that we are granted the
physical means to fulfil that purpose.
The central commandment of Rosh
Hashanah is the sounding of the Shofar. The
Shofar is a ram’s horn, a most primitive of
wind instruments, yet its call touches the
innermost chords of the soul. As Maimonides
puts it, “the sound of the Shofar is to awaken
people to return to G-d.”
Although the solemnity of the holiday is felt
throughout our High Holiday prayers, in
classic Jewish tradition a great emphasis is
placed on the many customs associated with
the festive meals and the foods that symbolize
sweetness, blessing and abundance. On the
first evening of Rosh Hashanah, after reciting
the blessing over wine and eating the Challah
bread, we dip a piece of apple in honey. We
say the blessing on the apple, adding, “May it
be Your will to renew for us a good and sweet
3

year.” On the second evening we eat a new
seasonal fruit we have not eaten this year, on
which we say a blessing praising the
Almighty for giving us life and bringing us to
this day. Additionally, many have the custom
to eat from the head of a fish, so that we may
be a head and not a tail; some also eat carrots,
called “meren” (multiply in Yiddish), for an
abundance of blessings. Pomegranates, whose
many seeds represent numerous merits and
good deeds, are also a traditional Rosh
Hashana food.
The judgment of Rosh Hashanah is the
appropriation of energy and vitality to help us
spiritually in our quest to live a meaningful
life. On Rosh Hashana, we remember, by the
sound of the Shofar, that that is why G-d put
us on this beautiful Earth. May we all be
inscribed in the Book of Life for a healthy and
prosperous, joyful and sweet, good year.
Rabbi Yossi Brackman with his wife Baila
founded and directs the Rohr Chabad Center
at the University of Chicago. The center is
part of the global Chabad Lubavitch
movement and provides a home away from
home for UChicago students with Jewish
educational and social programs for students
and the Hyde Park community.

A guide to the upcoming theater season from the Herald
By ANNE SPISELMAN
Theater Critic
Another exciting theater season already is
underway. So many plays, musicals, and
revues ranging from world premieres to
rare revivals are on the bill that you could
go to a different one every evening and still
not see them all. And if I said the same
thing last fall, it’s even truer this year,
because several theaters are pulling out all
the stops for important anniversaries.
Below is a preview of what’s going on at
a baker’s dozen of the companies I cover
regularly, beginning of course with Court
Theatre. Be sure to call ahead for times,
ticket prices, and other information.
*Court Theatre’s (773-753-4472) 60th
anniversary season starts with a show that’s
perfect for Hyde Park: the world premiere
of local actress Nambi E. Kelley’s
adaptation of Richard Wright’s “Native
Son,” a co-production with American
Blues Theater, through Oct. 12. New Yorkbased Seret Scott directs the drama, set on
the South Side in the 1930s, and Jerod
Haynes, who was born and raised on the
South Side, portrays Bigger Thomas, the
young black man who takes a job in a
wealthy white household and unleashes a
series of violent events that seal his fate.
Next, Nov.6-Dec. 7, is Euripides’
“Iphigenia in Aulis,” translated by
founding artistic director Nicholas Rudall
and directed by long-time artistic director
Charles Newell. The harrowing tale of
Agamemnon and the sacrifice demanded of
him in exchange for the winds that carry
his army to Troy is the first installment of
a three-year cycle of Greek tragedies, to be
followed by Aeschylus’ “Agamemnon” and
Sophocles’ “Electra.”
On Sept. 29, don’t miss “Holding Court
on the South Side,” a special concert
featuring the incomparable Felicia P.
Fields and guests, including Kelvin Roston
Jr. (“Seven Guitars”) and Lisa Beasley
(“The Mountaintop”).
*Goodman Theatre (312-443-3800) kicks
off its 90th birthday celebration in the
mainstage Albert Theatre with a reprise of
Noah Haidle’s “Smokefall,” a huge hit
world premiere last year in the smaller
Owen Theatre. The original cast, including
90-year-old Mike Nussbaum, is on hand
for the compelling exploration of the
power and fragility of love through several
generations of one Grand Rapids, MI
family. It’s directed by Anne Kauffman and
continues through Oct. 26. After that, the
annual outing of “A Christmas Carol” Nov.
15-Dec. 28 features Larry Yando in his
seventh turn as Scrooge.
In the Owen Theatre, the world premiere
of Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig’s “The World
of Extreme Happiness,” a co-production
with the Manhattan Theatre Club, is the
opener, through Oct. 12. Eric Ting directs
Jennifer Lim (“Chinglish”) as Sunny, a
young woman who leaves her family in
rural China for the promise of a new life in
neon-lit Shenzhen and finds it’s not what
she expected. Oct. 29-Nov. 16 the eighth
annual New Stages Series brings together
three workshop productions and three
staged readings, all of them free.
* Broadway in Chicago (312-977-1700)
has booked an interesting lineup for the
Deanna Dunagan stars as Maxine in “Death Tax.”
Liz Lauren
major downtown theaters, especially the
Broadway Playhouse, where “Evil Dead:
The Musical,” based on Sam Raimi’s cult
films, gets the season off to a hilariously
bloody start through Oct.12. Sit in the
“splatter zone” at your own risk. “Men Are
From Mars – Women Are From Venus
LIVE!” bows in Oct. 14-19, and for the
holidays, Nov. 4, 2014-Jan. 4. 2015, you
can catch “Dee Snider’s Rock & Roll
Christmas Tale,” a world premiere about a
heavy metal bar band desperate to make it
big, created by and starring Twisted
Sister’s lead singer.
The headliner at the Bank of America
Theatre Oct. 9-Nov. 2 is the pre-Broadway
world premiere of “Amazing Grace,” the
story behind the creation of the iconic
anthem starring Tony Award nominee Josh
Young as John Newton, the British slave
trader-turned-abolitionist responsible for
the lyrics. (The melody came from an old
Scottish air.) At the Cadillac Palace
Theatre, “Annie” treads the boards Nov.
18-30, followed by “Rodgers &
Hammerstein’s Cinderella” Dec. 16, 2014Jan. 4, 2015. Disney’s “Newsies,” based on
a true tale of underdogs who take on the
powers that be, take overs the Oriental
Theatre Dec. 10, 2014-Jan. 4. 2015.

Ray’s quick pick
Ray Elementary Vice Principal MeganThole is selected as principal
By DASCHELL M. PHILLIPS
Staff Writer
The Ray Elementary School
local school council (LSC) voted
to offer a principal contract to
Megan Thole at its meeting
Thursday night. The selection
concludes a search that extended
across two school years and two
LSC administrations.
Thole has been one of two
assistant principals at Ray since
July. She has a total of seven years’
experience in education. Before
coming to Ray, Thole served as a
resident principal at Skinner North
Elementary School. She was also
an Advanced Placement Language
and composition teacher and
English teacher and department
chair at the Noble Network of
Charter Schools. Prior to that she
was the English and literature
teacher
at
Howard
Area
Leadership Academy. She served
with the Teach for America
program and was a proposal writer
at Pearson Education.
She received her Master of
Education in School Leadership
from Harvard University, a masters
in education from National Louis
University and a bachelors in
English from the University of
Iowa.
Denise Hill, chairwoman of the
LSC at Ray, 5631 S. Kimbark
Ave., said the council chose Thole
because of her communication,
team building and leadership
skills.

Jay Travis signs on with Karen Lewis
Staff Writer
Bronzeville resident Jay Travis, who
challenged state Rep. Christian Mitchell (D26) in the Democratic primary earlier this
year, has signed on as coordinator for CTU
President Karen Lewis’ mayoral exploratory
committee.
Travis, who began serving in the new role
three weeks ago, says hundreds have
reached out to volunteer.
“We’ve had well over 500 people reach out
to the exploratory committee to volunteer,”
said Travis, who is facilitating volunteer
involvement, helping to gather signatures
and organizing forums across the city. “I’ve
been out doing a lot of the work I enjoy
doing as an organizer.”
After Travis lost her bid to be the
Democratic nominee for 26th District state
representative, she became the interim
coordinator for the Alliance to Reclaim our
Schools, a coalition of labor unions and
progressive interest groups advocating for
public schools. But her ties to Lewis run
deep: CTU’s political action committee was
Travis’ top primary campaign contributor,
providing her with $30,000 in cash, and the
union president was a guest at her election
night party last March.
“As an organizer and someone who’s
worked in coalitions with community and
labor organizations for almost two decades
now, I have developed a relationship with
many labor organizations and CTU is one of
them,” Travis said. So when she first found
out Lewis was mulling a run, she says she
“immediately let her know” that she sought
to assist her in any way she could.
“When I was approached I gave a very
enthusiastic yes,” Travis said.
Travis declined to share a list of
committee members, but said that “it’s
growing.”
[email protected]
heard from many teachers that she has been
a tremendous asset to the building,” Hill
said. “She’s a great team leader and they
like the team building culture she’s bought
to the school; we didn’t want to break the
continuity.”
Ray parent Daan Van Rossum, who was on
the principal selection committee last school
year, said the extended election process was
the best thing that could have happened to
Ray.
“Last school year half of the school felt
strongly about one candidate and half of the
school felt strongly for another candidate so
no matter who was chosen half the school
would have been disappointed,” Van Rossum
said. “The new LSC came in with a clean
slate, no contentions and actually
collaborated to find a new principal.”
Van Rossum said he’s been receiving
testimonies from teachers about the “fantastic
job” Thole has been doing this school year.
“I spoke to a teacher who was considering
retirement but decided to give it one more
year,” Van Rossum said. “She said she’s
happy she didn’t retire and her happiness is

Chicago and other facilities to both
collaborate and look at what is the best
possible way to organize trauma … care in
Chicago to best meet the needs of the
area,” O’Keefe said in August. “And those
discussions are going on at this point in
time. And we’ve done a thorough analysis
of the impact on the University of Chicago
Medicine of a trauma center on the adult
side both from an operational perspective
and from a bed demand and also where
patients would be coming from in the
region and they would most likely be.”

The previous LSC at Ray, 5631 S. Kimbark
Ave., was unable to make a final decision on
a principal candidate last school year and
voted to leave the decision up to the new
LSC. The currently LSC, which has all new
members — except for community member
Don Willard and teacher member Gabriel
Sheridan — decided to restart the search
using a new approach doing away with a
principal selection/screening committee and
opening up more of the decision making
process to the community. Thole was chosen
from 12 candidates who made presentations
at the principal selection community forum
on Sept. 11.
“The school year is off to a great start,”
Thole said at the principal selection
community forum on Sept.11. “People are
excited to bring Ray back to the way it was.
We are focusing on making a positive
environment for the kids.”
The LSC will have its next meeting at 6:15

During the meeting Thole and the LSC will

The collaborators who documented the
Seminary Co-op Bookstore from its
beginnings in a corner of a basement to
its spacious Woodlawn Avenue storefront
are preparing to release a book.
Megan Doherty and Jasmine Kwong,
both University of Chicago graduates,
began collaborating in 2012 when they
heard the bookstore was moving. They
hope to have a book released by
September 2015.
Before opening at its current location,

When Annie Padrid opened her own gym
she left her full time job, spent her savings
and was working out of her home.
Only two and a half years later The Space
has nearly 400 clients and 20 employees. It
will almost double its physical space in
October.
The Space, 5307 S. Hyde Park Blvd., is a
functional gym with 24-hour access and 15
personal trainers. It is currently located on
the second floor of the Del Prado building
but in October will move to the first floor
ballroom.
Padrid, a Hyde Park native, graduated from
the University of Michigan in 2005 with
Bachelor’s degree in education. She majored
in English and minored in math.
While at U. of M. she played goalie on the
school’s soccer team.
“I loved the notion that when we would go
into the weight room every week there was a
new exercise we would get that was two and
a half pounds heavier than the week before,”
Padrid said.
The weekly weight workouts inspired her
to seek a personal trainer job at Bally’s Total
Fitness, 1301 E. 47th St., in 2005. Within
four months she had a full client load.
“My brains sort of yelled at me, sort of
screamed, ‘you’re good at this,” Padrid said.
She struck out on her own after LA Fitness
bought the facility in 2012 and offered her a
pay cut.
She emptied her savings, accepted $20,000
in personal loans and saw 15 clients a day in
her apartment to help finance construction
and buy equipment.
She paid for $60,000 in weight equipment
and $30,000 for cardio equipment with a
$15,000 down payment. It was the biggest

The Tech Box, a computer, tablet and phone
repair store, recently opened in Hyde Park.
Owner Nick Xu said he chose the name
because his services are not limited to
computers. They provide both walk-in
diagnostic and repair and regular on-site
services. The Tech Box, 1623 E. 55th St., will
serve both small businesses and personal
users.
The Tech Box guards computers and
laptops with virus protection, updates
software and hardware, provides installation ,
data backup and recovery services repairs and
motherboards. They will replace broken glass
or LCD screens on tablets and smartphones.
They also deal in remote surveillance.
This is the fourth store Xu has opened, the
other three, all named CBI Computers, are
located across the South Side. Xu said he
wanted to name this newest store The Tech
Box because it is more inclusive of the repair
work they do.
The Tech Box is open from 10 a.m. to 7
p.m. Monday through Saturday. They can be

Lagoon needs fresh
water source, not
poison
To the Editor:
Thank you for Jeffery BishkuAykul's article about how the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is
planning to poison the Jackson
Park Lagoon in order to kill off
all of the fish (Hyde Park Herald,
Sept. 17, p.1). It seems to me
that the entire concept here is
fraught and undesirable. Why
keep poisoning the lagoon water
that is dirty and murky and turbid
pond water which supports algal
blooms? Instead of poisoning the
waters to kill off undesirable fish
that thrive in such muddy,
stationary
water
and
subsequently attempt after the
killoff to replace the entire stock
of fish with game fish whose
usual habitat is clear fresh water,
wouldn't it be a better idea in the
long run to bring fresh clear Lake
Michigan water into the lagoons?
This could be accomplished by
connecting the lagoons in
Jackson Park so that fresh water
from Lake Michigan could flow
through them. If the East lagoon
were to be connected by a
channel to the Inner Harbor, then

Standing near three women preparing collard greens
at the soup kitchen at Kenwood United Church of
Christ, 4608 S. Greenwood Ave., Pastor Leroy
Sanders explained that “denomination has no place
here.” Two of the volunteers, after all, belonged to
different congregations.
But they’re not the only volunteers that do. Sanders’
ministry — which the church calls its Feed the People
Soup Kitchen — has been feeding anyone that comes
through its doors five days a week for more than 30
years, thanks to help from neighbor congregations in
the Hyde Park-Kenwood area.
Kenwood United Church of Christ began hosting
the soup kitchen in 1983, just three years after
Sanders joined the congregation. At the time, he
sought to expand his ministries and attract
congregants to the then 30-member church in need of
extensive repair. So when the Hyde Park-Kenwood
Interfaith Council approached him about hosting a
soup kitchen, he jumped on board the idea.
The church’s gym had become a hotspot for youth
activities. “But our focus was on building up the
church, not necessarily becoming a community
center,” Sanders said, adding that the church sought

a flow could be set up through
these lagoons to provide for
clear clean Lake Michigan water
throughout all of the lagoons.
This in turn would provide a
superior habitat for game fish and
keep the lagoons more attractive
for all of us. So how about
bringing in fresh water from
Lake Michigan instead of
repeatedly poisoning the muddy
water in the lagoons? It would
take some engineering, but isn't
that what the Corps of Engineers
is for?

given the time of year,” it’s likely that avian botulism was the cause.
The disease thrives in warm temperatures, where bacteria with access to
protein and no oxygen source produce toxins that paralyze birds when
ingested.
“We were contacted by the park, reporting some dead water fowl,” said
White. “We sent one of our specialists there. He picked up 18 ducks.
From what he could tell they were in a pretty advanced state of
decomposition.”
“This time of year, we generally see a lot of avian botulism,” White
added.
By last week the basin had been drained, which was about a month
earlier than usual, according to Jessica Maxey-Faulkner, director of
communications for the Chicago Park District.
“Hopefully that’ll break any botulism cycle that might’ve been taking
place,” White said.

KITCHEN
from page 4
Kenwood United Church of Christ began hosting the soup
kitchen in 1983, just three years after Sanders joined the
congregation. At the time, he sought to expand his
ministries and attract congregants to the then 30-member
church in need of extensive repair. So when the Hyde ParkKenwood Interfaith Council approached him about hosting
a soup kitchen, he jumped on board the idea.
The church’s gym had become a hotspot for youth
activities. “But our focus was on building up the church,
not necessarily becoming a community center,” Sanders
said, adding that the church sought to employ ministries to
“give people in the community a reason to join us.”
Sanders said he ran into opposition from congregants,
some of whom eventually left. And at first, church officers
were opposed to hosting a soup kitchen at a church that
already struggled to pay its heating bills. But they
eventually agreed to it, Sanders said, after he told them he
would seek assistance from the Hyde Park-Kenwood
Intefaith Council.
Fr. John Boyle of St. Ambrose Catholic Church, 1012 E.
47th St., was at first in charge of cooking for and staffing
the soup kitchen. After he left to go to another church,
Sanders took over, but the Interfaith Council kept up their
support.
“We all felt that we should be doing something practical
that was of daily benefit to people in need,” said Rev.
Susan Johnson of Hyde Park Union Church, 5600 S.
Woodlawn Ave., who sat on the Hyde Park-Kenwood
Interfaith Council’s executive committee when the soup
kitchen opened.
In 2006, Hyde Park Union Church took over operations
of the Hyde Park-Kenwood Interfaith Council’s hunger
programs, which included both Sanders’ soup kitchen and
its sister food pantry at Hyde Park Union Church. But the
council still does some fundraising at its Thanksgiving
service at Rockefeller Chapel, 5850 S. Woodlawn Ave, and
volunteering for Kenwood United’s soup kitchen is still a
community-wide effort. Hyde Park Union Church,
Rockefeller Chapel, 5850 S. Woodlawn Ave., and St. Paul
and the Redeemer Church, 4945 S. Dorchester Ave., all
prepare soup for the kitchen one Monday a month.
Since 1984, Johnson’s church has been cooking chili con
carne every Sunday and delivering it to the kitchen the next
day. “And honestly,” she said, “I don’t think we’ve missed
a week in all that time.”
Fran Spaltro, a latin teacher at the Laboratory Schools,
1362 E. 59th St., has been coordinating St. Paul and the
Redeemer’s monthly efforts since 2008. A group of five to
seven people, she said, ranging from children to the elderly
come together each Sunday to make a ground beef lentil
and vegetable soup.
“We really, really love it when kids help out,” said
Spaltro, who is attracted to the generosity and hospitality
of food ministry. “It’s just a pleasant and positive
experience all the way around.”
Today, Sanders estimates the soup kitchen serves more
than 100 people every day. The kitchen operates every day
except Wednesday and Saturday and just two years ago
added breakfast to their offerings.
The soup kitchen’s lunch menu typically features a soup
and salad with bread, a fruit cup and pastry. Breakfasts
feature grits or rice with a side of meat, and bread or bagels
and tea. And the kitchen has a tradition of serving fried
chicken on Fridays, when the church also hosts a health
clinic. A lot of the kitchen’s fare comes from the Chicago
Food Depository, but some of their produce is grown in
their backyard garden.
“Based on its longevity this is in a class of its own,” said
Herbert Hardwick, a soup kitchen patron of 20 years and
former volunteer. He said he discovered the kitchen in the
early ‘80s while bird dogging real estate in Kenwood.
“And then maybe about 15 years later I came upon hard
times. And so I remembered, I said ‘Gee, they got a soup
kitchen down there on 46th Street, let me see if it’s still
going on.’ So I came by, and the meals were very good.”
Sanders’ approximately 450-member congregation still
doesn’t fill its 1,200- to 1,400-person-capacity sanctuary.
But one year away from retirement, Sanders is pleased
with what the church has accomplished for the community
through its ministries, including its soup kitchen, a
computer learning center and recreational programs among
many others.
“And I look at it this way: that I have more people coming
through our doors during the week than on Sunday,”
Sanders said. “And I’m satisfied with that.”

By ANNE SPISELMAN
Theater Critic
T
wo prominent companies are
opening their seasons with local
premieres of plays by hot, young,
New York playwright Lucas Hnath and
seeing them on two consecutive nights last
week was very illuminating.
While “Death Tax” at Lookingglass
Theatre Company and “Isaac’s Eye” at
Writers Theatre are about different
subjects, they share a self-conscious
theatrical style and a preoccupation with
mortality, loneliness, manipulation,
betrayal and blackmail. Each also seems
more concerned with creating a series of
arguments rather than real human beings,
and both riff on the idea that — as one
character says — nobody does anything
for nothing.
“Death Tax,” which is directed by Heidi
Stillman and consists of five scenes
announced by one of the participants,
begins with Maxine (a marvelously acerbic
Deanna Dunagan), an aristocratic, old
woman confined to her bed in a nursing
home, talking to nurse Tina (J. Nicole
Brooks). The first words out of her mouth,
“those who have money are preserved,” set
the tone for the increasingly complicated
puzzle that develops as lies are piled on
lies to protect the guilty.
Maxine accuses Tina of taking money
from her Daughter (Louise Lamson) to
hasten her demise in order to collect a
bigger inheritance before the “death tax”
(estate tax) goes into effect on January 1.
Determined to thwart this, Maxine offers
Tina a larger sum including $200,000 if
she’s still alive after the “deadline.” Tina at
first defends her innocence but, plagued by
problems, including an abusive husband
who has absconded to Haiti with her son,
she gives in to temptation.
Problem is a coworker named Ms. Toad
sees Tina taking a check and reports it to
their supervisor, Todd (Raymond Fox,
ideal as a nebbish with leather-jacket
aspirations), who’s also Tina’s former
lover and still has feelings for her. It’s
pretty easy for Tina to coax him into
helping with the deception by offering half
the money, which he thinks will come with
a renewed sexual relationship.
The scheme seems to be going well until
the daughter shows up to reconcile with
Maxine and brings along a document
renouncing any claim to her mother’s
money. Though Tina is morally torn,
Todd’s greed kicks in and he threatens her
with exposure to keep her in line.
The last scene involves a twist that
plumbs the depth of Maxine’s opening
remark and calls our whole health care
system for the elderly into question. Hnath
offers no solution but merely makes us
reflect on the self interest of everyone
involved.
In fact, the power of self interest and
Maxine’s unswerving will to survive had
me wondering who the real manipulator
was. We’re led to believe that she is
suffering from dementia and consequently
is paranoid about her daughter’s behavior,
so Tina is able to take advantage of her, but
is that really the case?
We know — and Maxine does too — that
her daughter is broke, because she explains
to Tina at length how she can barely make
ends meet and asked for her mother’s help
to no avail. Is it possible that Maxine is

cagey enough to bribe Tina in order to get
the best care available? That’s certainly
what happens. Todd calls in specialists and
pays for things out of his own pocket to
keep the old lady going in hopes of bigger
gains, but the plan ultimately backfires for
everyone involved.
Misfiring plans and mutual blackmail are
at the core of “Isaac’s Eye,” Hnath’s
fictional account of the rivalry between the
young Isaac Newton and the older but now
lesser-known scientist, Robert Hooke,
directed by Michael Halberstam in Writers
Theatre’s postage-stamp space at the back
of Books on Vernon.
This also is a four-character play, and
besides having an Actor (LaShawn Banks),
who announces the scenes, functions as
narrator and portrays a plague victim, it
teases us with notions of truth and
falsehood. He and the others write down
anything that actually happened on the
blackboard wall of Collette Pollard’s set.
Though the action is set around 1665 (the
plague
year),
everyone
speaks
contemporary American English and is in
modern dress.
Basically, Newton (Jurgen Hooper) is
desperate to make a name for himself by
getting into the Royal Society and
promulgating his particle theory of light,
which he claims he’s tested by sticking a
needle into the tear duct of his own eye.
His ambitions take precedence over his
affection for Catherine (Elizabeth Ledo),
the woman who loves him, is 10 years his
senior, wants to get married and have a
child, and is an apothecary who’s
supported him in his work.
When Newton sends his theories, which
he believes come to him directly from
God, to the more established and
accomplished Hooke (Marc Grapey), the
older man is jealous and afraid, so he sets
about discouraging and dominating him in
every possible way. But the game of oneupmanship becomes less an intellectual
contest than a battle to see who can amass
the most dirt to dish if the other doesn’t do
what he wants.
Hooke, a thoroughly nasty, lying and
self-serving piece of work as played by
Grapey, has the upper hand at a crucial
point, leaving Newton with ... well, a
needle in the eye. (Don’t sit in the first row
if you’re squeamish). But, of course,
Newton has the last laugh, because he’s the
one most people remember.
Although this exercise is intricate,
sometimes funny and fairly engaging, I
must admit I didn’t understand why
Hooper portrays Newton as a clueless,
post-adolescent dolt, who has no idea how
to behave. Maybe Hnath intended him to
have Asperger Syndrome or be an idiot
savant, but then some explanation is
needed.
Judging by these two productions, Hnath
is provocative but his best work is yet to
come.

Ribs ‘N’ Bibs unlikely to return
Staff Writer
A new bill posted at Hyde Park restaurant
Ribs ‘N’ Bibs is the latest in a series of signage
suggesting the longtime neighborhood
institution is gone for good.
About four months after signs were posted at
the restaurant at 5300 S. Dorchester Ave.
reading “Closed until further notice! Thank you
— Management,” new signage has appeared,
this time reading “Space for Lease,” followed
by a phone number.
Contact information for restaurant owner
Vincent C. Schoenberg, son of founder Vincent
G. Schoenberg, was unavailable and the number
posted at the restaurant had not returned calls
from the Herald as of press time.
Ribs ‘N’ Bibs’ new signage comes just weeks
after a coy online statement by the restaurant,
giving no indication that it would reopen. Asked
by a Facebook user whether the restaurant was
going to reopen, and if so, when, Ribs ‘N’ Bibs
responded: “Not sure, but will post something
once we know! Thank you for asking :) .”
Herald archives indicate that since the
restaurant opened in 1966, it has closed
temporarily three times: in 1985 after a fire, in
2005 for repairs and in 2012 for unpaid taxes.

Police issue area burglary warning
By LINDSAY WELBERS
Staff Writer
Chicago Police Department issued a
warning Wednesday about a string of
burglaries in Hyde Park.
In August and September the burglars
entered through the rear of the buildings
during the day.
Burglaries were reported on the 5200
block of South Ingleside Avenue on the
morning of Aug. 25, the 900 block of
East 52nd Street in the afternoon or
evening of Sept. 2, the 5300 block of
South Greenwood Avenue on Sept. 5, and
the 5200 block of South Ellis Avenue on
Sept. 6.
The Chicago Police Department
recommends
reporting
suspicious
activity immediately, keeping doors and
windows secure, repairing any broken
windows, door or locks. If you discover
you are the victim of a break-in, contact
police immediately and don’t touch
anything.

check she had ever written.
“Basically, ‘The Space,’ this was a huge dirt
hole. No windows, no walls, no bathrooms,
no ceilings, no floors, nothing,” said Padrid.
“The business model was that I could support
this with my own revenue based on how
many clients I was seeing.”
She has done no marketing in the two and a
half years since she opened The Space, but
has nearly paid off her debts, will own her
equipment outright in March and with only
word of mouth she has a list of clients so full
she needs to expand.
She has brought in 15 personal trainers, a
nail technician, massage therapist and
acupuncturist, who all work as independent
contractors for Padrid.
The culture is what attracts clients, Padrid
says. People work with personal trainers but
there is no yelling or posturing. Equipment is
kept in good condition. Padrid uses the word
“synergistic” to describe the culture.
The Space doesn’t focus on elite athletes
training for olympic trials or to run a fourminute mile. The bulk of The Space’s clients
are Hyde Parkers of all ages, from high
school to nonagenarians.
One of her clients was among the top
recruits to Duke University’s basketball
team; another is a 75-year-old woman who
wants to walk her dogs in winter without fear
Annie Padrid at The Spot, 5307 S. Hyde
Park Blvd.

of injuring herself on ice.
When she moves into the 5,000-square-foot
ballroom, she will leave the 2,700-squarefoot second floor space overlooking Harold
Washington Park.
The new facility will have space for classes,
a 25-foot long ballet bar, and 100 square
yards of football turf. Padrid wants to host
big group classes, with a DJ on the Juliet
balcony.
While the business is entirely run by Padrid
she says she has a network of people she can
lean on for advice or help, most of whom she
knows because they work out at The Space.
Those connections have helped her to see
her business grow beyond what she expected
when she opened it.
The Space will host an opening party at 7
p.m. on Friday, Oct. 10.

well-known works: “Triana” from Iberia

“Appassionata” by Beethoven. The
program concludes with the FantasySonata “Black Soil — The Memory of
Er-Ren-Zhuan” written by the Chinese
composer Wang Lisan in 1983 and
revised in 2007. In addition to being a
pianist, Zhang is a doctoral candidate at

on Wang Lisan’s music. The event
includes a discussion by the pianist on
the music of Wang.

Lyric Opera of Chicago celebrates its
diamond anniversary this year and it
opens its 60th season with the same
opera that began its inaugural season:
Mozart’s “Don Giovanni.” Music
director Sir Andrew Davis conducts and
the artistic director of the Goodman
Theatre, Robert Falls, directs this new
production. It stars Mariusz Kwiecie? in
the title role with Marinia Rebeka, Ana
María Martínez, Kyle Ketelsen, Andriana
Chuchman, Antonio Poli, Michael
Sumuel and Andrea Silvestrelli. It opens
on Saturday, Sep. 27 at 7:30 p.m. with 10
performances
running
through
Wednesday,
Oct.
29
(including
matinees).
Robert Falls and the creative team have
moved this production out of the 18th
century and into 1920s Spain. “This
distinctive and unusual updating of “Don
Giovanni” — the first of its kind at Lyric
— came about because I wanted to
introduce a 20th-century sensibility and
psychology to the piece while
maintaining its Spanish character,” says
Falls.
Renée Fleming returns to Lyric Opera
to star in Richard Strauss’s final opera,
“Capriccio.” It opens Monday, Oct. 6 at
7:30 p.m. and runs for seven
performances through Oct. 28. The ArtDeco production, originally staged by
director John Cox in 1994, will be
directed by Peter McClintock in this
revival, with Sir Andrew Davis
conducting. Also in the cast: William
Burden, Audun Iversen, Bo Skovhus,
Anne Sofie von Otter and Peter Rose.
Four large screens – two each in the
upper and lower balconies – will
broadcast HD video to enhance the
performance experience of this intimate
opera for balcony patrons on Oct. 9, 15,
22 and 28. These screens have been used
by Lyric previously for special events
and performances. The screens are 12 x 8
feet, and will hang on the sides of the
theater so there will be no obstructed
views of the stage or the projected titles.
Verdi’s “Il Trovatore” opens at Lyric on
