The Madison Square Garden Company announced that PAW Patrol Live! “Race To The Rescue” will stop at The Chicago Theatre on Saturday, January 12, 2019 and Sunday, January 13, 2019. The action-packed, music-filled production follows the heroic pups as they embark on a pirate-themed adventure to uncover a hidden treasure. 

It's the day of the Great Adventure Bay Race between Adventure Bay’s Mayor Goodway and Foggy Bottom’s Mayor Humdinger, but Mayor Goodway is nowhere to be found. PAW Patrol to the rescue! Ryder summons Marshall, Chase, Skye, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma and Everest to rescue Mayor Goodway and to run the race in her place. Using their unique skills and teamwork, the pups show that “no job is too big, no pup is too small,” and share lessons for all ages about citizenship, social skills and problem-solving as they make several heroic rescues on their race to the finish line.

The performance features up-tempo music and a cleverly written script that is a wonderful introduction to live theater for kids. Classic theatrical scenery, along with a high-tech video wall visually transports families to an authentic PAW Patrol environment, including locations from the TV series, like Adventure Bay, The Lookout, Seal Island, Farmer Yumi's farm and Jake's Mountain. Special interactive video allows the audience to participate via interviews, solve clues with the Pups, follow Mayor Goodway and much more.  

Tickets are available through all Ticketmaster Outlets and in person at The Chicago Theatre box office. A limited number of V.I.P. (Very Important Pup) Packages are available. V.I.P. package features premium show seating, a commemorative lanyard, and an after-show Meet & Greet with PAW Patrol Live! walk-around characters.

Does your child love Minecraft? It's not too late to join up and bring Chi, IL to victory among 12 major cities competing. Meet n greets began last weekend, but players are still being accepted up to this weekend when league play begins. Presale tickets are $60 with an additional $10 discount by using the code 10offchamps.

GRAND FINAL 4 CITIES: Saturday, November 11 10:30am - 12:00p



On Saturday mornings, instead of just playing at home, your young gamers can enjoy Minecraft while meeting new friends, as part of a local team representing Chicago. Super League Gaming and their Minecraft City Champs tournament is run in partnership with Nickelodeon. It’s like little league for Minecraft players! Fun, positive and a special opportunity to get out and play with other kids their age. Past players clearly have had a GREAT time!

And one skilled player will win a HUGE prize for their family – 4 tickets to Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards 2018, inclusive of round trip airfare to LA, 2 nights in a hotel and a $500 spending allowance. There will be other giveaways for all players, including an official Chicago Force team jersey!




While you may find it challenging to pull your little ones away from their iPad or Xbox, the truth is that playing Minecraft (and video games in general) can be beneficial for your kids on many levels, including problem solving, building self-confidence, enhancing creativity, understanding teamwork and improving academic performance.




Super League’s Minecraft City Champs tournament is in its 3rd season, so the company knows how to provide a well-organized experience for your Minecrafter. It’s ideal for kids 6-14, who will play alongside their peers and have the chance to compete against teams in cities across the country. The tournament takes place in a movie theater, which means they also get to see their favorite game on the big screen!

The tournament begins on Sat. the 21st and continues on the following three Saturdays. Parents attend for free, although Super League provides full coverage if you need to drop off. Of course if you’re there, you can cheer on your Minecrafter to victory!
