TO PLAY CHICAGO’S BROADWAY PLAYHOUSE AT WATER TOWER PLACE
OCTOBER 25 – NOVEMBER 13, 2016
Broadway In Chicago is pleased to announce that the hilarious original parody GRAEME OF THRONES will play the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place (175 E. Chestnut) October 25 through November 13, 2016.
In this critically-acclaimed theatrical journey through the Seven Kingdoms, direct from sold out shows in London’s West End, avid ‘Thrones’ fan Graeme just wants to recreate his favorite fantasy saga on stage - aided and abetted by his best friend Paul and the girl he used to fancy at school - Bryony.
He doesn’t quite have the same budget as the TV show, or as many cast members, or the performance skill required, but he’s sure George RR Martin would approve – and that’s what matters. But when news reaches them that an influential theatrical producer is in the building, Graeme decides that this could be his big break - as long as nothing goes wrong...
Created by a team of some of the UK’s top comedy writers, GRAEME OF THRONES is an original and un-authorized parody on the international phenomenon that is Game Of Thrones. A treat for fans and an introduction for the unenlightened. See it before the inevitable lawsuit.
TICKET INFORMATION
Group tickets for 10 or more for GRAEME OF THRONESare available now by calling Broadway In Chicago Group Sales at (312) 977-1710. Individual tickets for GRAEME OF THRONESwill go on sale at a later date. For more information, visit www.BroadwayInChicago.com.
iFLY set to Deliver the Dream of Flight to Lincoln Park
Located in Lincoln Park, the region’s only indoor skydiving operation welcomes both the young and the young at heart to experience the joy of flight
ChiIL Mama and her son, Dugan, trying iFLY for the first time back in 2014 in Naperville!
iFLY, the world’s largest Indoor Skydiving operation, is now delivering the dream of flight to adventure seekers with the opening of their newest location on Monday, March 7th. Their Grand Opening will be March 16th. With more than 7 million people having already flown with iFLY nationwide, Chicagoland residents of all ages who have looked to the skies and dreamed of flying can now make that dream come true.
The world’s largest Indoor Skydiving operation, iFLY, is now delivering the dream of flight to adventure seekers in the Lincoln Park area. The new location at 800 West Scott Street at Halsted marks the 17th iFLY facility in the U.S. Chicagoland residents who have looked to the skies and dreamed of flying like a bird can now make that dream come true.
**People of all ages and abilities can experience human flight in a safe, comfortable and fun environment.**
My son and I tried iFLYyears ago, when they first opened in Naperville. Our family daredevils were out of town for work and had a gymnastics team conflict, so the other two of us braved up and went for it. My husband has jumped out of a plane and gone actual sky diving and my daughter has bungie jumped on Mt. Hood. They both zip lined down a mountain and across a chasm in Vail and they've been chomping at the bit to try iFLY for years!
We took iFLY at their word about all ages and abilities, and I'm so glad we took the chance and went for it. Take that Bucket List! I felt a sense of accomplishment once I tried iFLY. It's not as scary as I thought it would be.
Why should kids have all the fun and get all the new, cool experiences. Seriously, all ages and abilities can do this. We've heard they offer pretty sweet birthday parties too.
Each indoor skydiving facility is a marvel of engineering that replicates the experience of skydiving, creating conditions that allow people to fly on a smooth cushion of air. With the help of iFLY certified flight instructors, customers learn to fly, control their bodies in the air and experience true human flight.
“Our mission is to deliver the dream of flight to everybody, whether you’re age three or 103,” said Matt Ryan, iFLY President and COO. “Since 1998, more than seven million customers worldwide have experienced human flight at iFLY in a variety of ways: as a fun excursion with family and friends, a student on an educational Science, Technology, and Math (S.T.E.M.) field trip, a professional skydiver or member of the military for training, and a corporate customer looking for a unique team building activity. Thanks to iFLY, flying is finally available to everyone.”
To prepare for their flight experience, customers complete a training class guided by one of iFLY’s flight and safety instructors, are equipped with flight gear, including goggles, helmet and flight suit, and then with their instructor at their side, they enter the flight chamber and are supported by a cushion of air.
All flight packages include training, flight gear, and flight time with an International Bodyflight Association (IBA) certified instructor. (The IBA has established the Gold Standard for training and safety standards for Indoor Skydiving Instructors). All iFLY instructors meet or exceed IBA standards.

“We are working hard to complete all the finishing touches in our newest iFLY operation here in Lincoln Park,” said David Janossy, General Manager for iFLY Lincoln Park. “My team and I are pumped to share the dream of flight at our new location. Every day is a new adventure for each and every person at the tunnel. Watching people fly for the first time is a life changing experience for them and just wonderful for each of us helping to make dreams come true.”

Congrats to Taft's Academic Center 7th & 8th grade Pom Squad on their Platinum 1st Place WIN!
This awesome 12 member squad kicked bootie with their self choreographed entry and took home the PLATINUM and a cool plaque for their school! The awards were hours after the competition so only 4 of 12 made it back to claim their winnings, but they all got ribbons and pins at their following wrap party.
They also got a certificate for great energy and enthusiasm.
Big congrats Eagles!
Also congrats to my daughter, Sage, and her teammate Gabby, who were voted in by the 8th graders and coaches to be the 2 Pom Squad Leaders for next school year 2016-17!! Your hard work, dedication, skill and friendliness have paid off.
When the girls were warming up in the hall before the competition a woman came up to them and plunked right down on the floor in the splits and began stretching with Sage's team. She told the girls that she's SEVENTY NINE years old and still makes lifestyle choices so she's maintained her flexibility! She told them "Don't get stuck." Awesome advice from an inspiring woman.
There are few forces on earth as enthusiastic and giggly as a team of 12 & 13 year old girls all hepped up on winning! Congrats again. Well done.
