Chicago – One more time, virtual and online. YippieFest 2021 will air on Twitch TV and through their website on Sunday, September 26th (7pm start). The freewheeling festival is usually a live theater and music event every August, but with the pandemic still lingering the show must go on, virtual and online. For more info, click YippieFest.com.
YippieFest premiered in 2017, taking on the spirit of the Mary-Arrchie Theater’s Abbie Hoffman Festival, which began in 1989. The live theater version is three days of 24/7 performances, celebrating the best in Chicago stage, music and comedy. YippieFest had to go virtual last year, as the rest of the world did during the pandemic, and following Chicago protocol and the uncertainty in the whole community, chose again to do one spectacular night of online TV entertainment on Sunday, September 26th.

Chicago – The sudden drama of tragic death is beautifully rendered in a new short film called “Rockabye,” a Chicago-based production directed by David Bradburn and written/performed in by Sean Patrick Leonard. The World Premiere of the film will take place at the Twister Alley International Film Festival in Woodward, Oklahoma, on April 29th, 2017.
The film centers on John (Leonard), who through his injuries has obviously been a part of a severe trauma. It is revealed that his beloved wife died in an automobile accident on her 39th birthday, leaving behind the injured-but-alive John – who was the driver of the car – to soldier on with their two children. Trying to cope with the loss and his new situation is a struggle for the now single father, and the sensitivity toward the difficult process of life after a tragic event is revealed.
