SUMMARY:Theatre Club Outing - "Titanique" at the Water Tower Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:Come along on a crazy musical cruise with the Cliff Dwellers Theatre Club as we head down Michigan Avenue to the Water Tower Playhouse to see the much anticipated production of Titanique. \nFind out what really happened to Jack and Rose on that fateful night depicted in the blockbuster file “Titanic“.

SUMMARY:Corin Wiggins\, Artist-In-Residence\, Performance
DESCRIPTION:“Devising” is a thrilling\, innovative\, and European-centered approach to creating new\, original works of theatre.

This is a show that examines dating culture and various manifestations of love in an increasingly disconnected and isolated world. \nCome witness (and maybe even be a part of) this exciting and unapologetically art-centered space. \n5:00 p.m. – Bar opens\n5:30 p.m. – Dinner ($48)\n6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. – Performance \nPerformance Only Seating – $12 \nAppetizer selections available at the Bar from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. \nReservations are required by Wednesday\, May 21.\nreservations@cliff-chicago.org  OR 312-922-8080 \n  \n  \n  \n
