The Cliff Dwellers Theatre Club gathered at the Chopin Theatre on Thursday night to see e the one-man show: “Royko: The Toughest Man in Chicago” . The sold-out production told the story of cantankerous Chicago columnist Mike Royko, a 34-year newspaper veteran who wrote 7,500 columns in his career. Love him or hate him, he was a fixture amongst Chicago newspapers.
After a casual dinner at Lawn Craft Hamburgers, the Cliff Dwellers enjoyed the show, and then stayed for an after-show discussion with three of Mike Royko’s assistants, who related their own personal stories and insights related to the famed columnist.
