FIRST DATE, Broadway's new musical comedy about the most dangerous human endeavor in existence - the dreaded blind date, comes to the Royal George Cabaret, 1641 North Halsted, on Feb. 5 and opens Feb. 12 for a limited engagement. FIRST DATE features a book by Austin Winsberg ("Gossip Girl") and Music and Lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner (Secondhand Lions, Twice Charmed). The musical comedy is produced by Jeanne McInerney and First Date, LLC, and will be directed by J.R. Rose, with musical direction by Elizabeth Doran and choreography by Becky DeDecker. At a rapid-fire 90 minutes, FIRST DATE is a lighthearted, funny and romantic show featuring a stellar ensemble cast. The musical is perfect for a real first date, a girls’ night out or just a fun and entertaining experience at the theater. The New York Times said that FIRST DATE had “The audience was erupting in guffaws!” Associated Press enthused “Madcap fun!” Variety called FIRST DATE "Flat-out ingenious!" The Hollywood Reporter called it a “Winning crowd pleaser.” The Seattle Times said "Terrific - snappy and irreverent!" WNBC raved “You walk out feeling as if you’ve gotten lucky!” Even E!’s Giuliana Rancic tweeted “Fab! Amazing musical. A must see!” The production was awarded four Footlight Awards, including Best Musical. When blind date newbie Aaron (Charlie Lubeck, The Glee Project, Season 2) is set up with serial-dater Casey (Dana Parker), a casual drink at a busy New York restaurant turns into a hilarious high-stakes dinner. As the date unfolds in real time, the couple quickly finds that they are not alone on this unpredictable evening. In a delightful and unexpected twist, Casey and Aaron’s inner critics take on a life of their own when other restaurant patrons transform into supportive best friends, manipulative exes and protective parents, who sing and dance them through ice-breakers, appetizers and potential conversational land mines. Can this couple turn what could be a dating disaster into something special before the check arrives? FIRST DATE had its World premiere at ACT/5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle in 2012. It opened on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre starring Zachary Levi and Krysta Rodriguez on August 8, 2013 and played for five successful months. The talented ensemble includes Cassie Slater, Anne Litchfield Calderón, Shea Coffman, Adam Fane, and John Keating. General management is by Chicago Commercial Collective, scenic design is by Thad Hallstein, costume design by Raquel Adorno, lighting design by Brandon Lewis, sound design by Dave Huizenga, props by Lisa Griebel, and stage management by Julia Zayas-Melendez.

Welcome to Chicago's favorite paint-it-yourself pottery studio! Bring your friends and family in to explore your artistic side! Come in and choose from our expansive selection of pottery to make your own. We'll glaze and fire your artwork and it will be ready to pick up in 7 days. One very important rule is that you must be at the store AT LEAST 2 hours before Closing Time on any day in order to start a project. Art takes longer than you think and we want to make it a stress free, pressure free process for you! ***We do not call when pieces are ready, it is YOUR responsibility to pick up your pottery after a week and WITHIN A MONTH. After a month, we go through all of the pottery and get rid of month old pieces!!!!! *PLEASE NOTE: We reserve the right to close at 7:30 pm Wednesday-Saturday if there are no painters, so pickups end at this time. We are a BYOB studio, so you can bring in beer, wine, champagne, etc. (no hard liquor) and remember to bring in your own cups. Wednesdays and Thursdays are ADULTS ONLY from 6-9 pm. HOW IT WORKS: When you come in to paint, we charge a $6 studio fee for kids and $8 for adults. On top of that is the cost of your piece. Most pieces range from $12-18. Additional pottery includes a glaze fee which is anywhere from $1-7, depending on the price of the piece. After you've finished creating your work of art, we put a clear glaze on it to make it beautiful and shiny, and then put it in the kiln to cook. In 7 days your work will be ready! Everything is food-safe so feel free to enjoy your plate, bowl, mug, etc. PARTIES We host both child and adult parties, so please call us to book your creative adventure. Otherwise we always accept walk-ins as long as we have the space. We recommend calling ahead if you have 3 or more. CUSTOM WORK / AUCTION PROJECTS We have a staff of talented artists willing to do custom work for you, including our popular school auction projects. Here's how an auction project works: You pick out the pottery you want and receive 25% or 50% off. If we do custom addition to it, you will get 50% off. If we only glaze and fire the pottery, you receive 25% off. We charge $8 for paints that you take to the school to let kids do finger prints, free painting, or whatever you'd like. Schools do not pay taxes on the pottery with a tax exemption code. Then bring back the pottery to the studio and allot us at least two weeks to do our custom work and have it ready for you. Our artists work at $20-35 an hour, cash or check only. Take a look at some of the examples we've done in the past, though we're always open to new ideas! Call or stop in to learn more. Don't hesitate to call us at 1(312)867-1792 if you have any questions. We can't wait to help you with your next creation!
