July 30 (Friday): The next "final-Friday-of-the-month" program offers a return visit by the Redmoon Theater company to the Kiva. Artistic Director Frank Maugeri will offer a behind-the-scenes examination of the company's massive visual spectacle---a temporary transformation of the facade of the Museum of Contemporary Art. Inherent in this ambitious plan to create a science fiction story is homage paid to the comic book and drive-in movies. In the Kiva that evening Redmoon will be using images and other resources that are associated with this new work. The program is open to members and guests without charge. Cocktail reception (cash bar) followed by the program, 6:00 pm. Those who wish to stay for dinner should make reservations by calling 312-922-8080. This event is provided by the Cliff Dwellers Arts Foundation which has awarded a grant to Redmoon.

NEXT MONTH:

August 6 (Friday): It's a Friday Night Special---start the weekend with free hors d'oeuvres at the club during cocktail time between 5:00 and 7:00 pm. Then, consider staying for a special $30 dinner prepared by chef Victor.  Be sure to call 312-922-8080 to say you're coming and also whether you're accepting the dinner offer.

August 11 (Wednesday): Another theater event at the club! Cliff Dwellers and guests are invited to a preview of the 2010-2011 season of Remy Bumppo Theater by its Artistic Director and Artistic Associates.

This preview will begin with cocktails and appetizers (cash bar) at 5:00 pm, followed by the program at 5:30.  Members of the Remy Bumppo acting ensemble will present readings from the upcoming plays, including excerpts from Tom Stoppard’s Night and Day and Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest.
