[Highland Park] Quantum brings Ibsen to East Liberty
by Stevie Herendeen 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Quantum Theatre, known for staging its productions in unique places that aren’t theatres, creates a classic Ibsen drama in an empty storefront in East Liberty. *JOHN GABRIEL BORKMAN* by Henrik Ibsen Directed by Martin Giles February 1-24, 2013 Hart Building in East Liberty (6022 Broad Street) Greed is good, according to Ibsen’s John Gabriel Borkman—until it sends him to prison for embezzlement and leaves him ruined and disgraced, but desperate for a comeback. Released from the big house, John Gabriel paces alone in the attic room of his own once-grand dwelling, a nightmare to those below. Downstairs his wife and former mistress —who happens to be her sister—are in for a bumpy night. Three outstanding actors in the tour-de-force roles—Bridget Connors, Malcolm Tulip, and Robin Walsh—are joined by an ensemble including Daina Michelle Griffith, Ken Bolden, Luka Glinsky, and Carly Otte. A scorching indictment of 19th century capitalism, this timely tale of one man’s undoing in the wake of relentless deception and fraud could be ripped from today’s headlines, it anticipates Bernie Madoff by 100 years. But only the Father of Modern Drama could offer these starkly gorgeous characterizations that tell us how unbridled lust for money and power will make you crazy. A winter play, with a spectacularly wintry ending… but Quantum doesn’t ask people to spend a February night watching it in a snowstorm. Sit in warmth and comfort amidst the great design of Tony Ferrieri (scenic), C. Todd Brown (lighting), Christine Causus (costumes), and Ryan McMaster (sound). Norway in the season of very little daylight will glow in the beautifully renovated Hart Building in hip East Liberty, just off Highland Avenue with adjacent parking lot and plenty of dining options nearby.

[Highland Park] Cabin/Cottage Rental?
by Leah Marmo 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Hi Neighbors! This may be a shot in the dark but i thought i'd try! My boyfriend and I are celebrating our first year together and were hoping to spend a couple days outside of the city. Would anyone happen to own a seasonal cabin or cottage that they'd be willing to rent out for a couple days to the two of us? We were hoping to go February 9-11. Thanks neighbors! -Leah and Ben -- Leah Jo Marmo, MSW "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that.

[Highland Park] dog waste on public courts
by Valerie Sweeney 13 Jan '13

13 Jan '13

My boys & I went up to the tennis/basketball/hockey courts (at St Clair and Bunker Hill) to shoot a ball around today. I had to pick up off the actual court no fewer than a dozen piles of dog waste. This is not the first time this has happened, but this is the first time I have totally lost my cool about it. I appreciate that the fenced area makes it a nice place to exercise your dog, and that's nice. We *should* all share the public spaces, it's an awesome part of city living. But for the love of God will you PLEASE make sure you pick up after your dog? Letting your dog crap on the tennis/basketball, and/or hockey courts and not cleaning up after them is not only insanely rude and ignorant, but it's also a public health hazard.
