TFT
Parade Night at "CUBS WIN! The
Unauthorized Comedy" this Friday
"CUBS
WIN!-The Unauthorized Comedy" is a new play
by Michael Flores about the totem pole at Lake
Shore Drive and Recreation Drive. In the show,
the Wrigley Field beer vendors discover that all
totem poles are supposed to face east for good
luck. Unfortunately, ours faces west so that the
drivers on LSD can see it. The beer vendors
turn the totem pole around, leading to the Cubs
to head to the World Series.
When
Michael Flores, a playwright and a biker, heard
that the 2005 TFT Parade was almost snowed-out,
he decided to help by having a special
performance to benefit the TFT Parade
Organization. The date will be
this Friday, February 24 at 7 pm. Admission
is $10. After all shows, the cast will
autograph baseballs and sell them for $10 with
all proceeds going to The TFT Parade. So
come out to the Sonotheque Theater at 1444
West Chicago Avenue on February 24th.
The
show runs Thursdays and Fridays to March 10.
Doors open at 7:00 PM, show starts promptly at
7:30 PM. Not a baseball fan?
Don't worry, there's plenty of laughs for
everyone. There are even enough
laughs for White Sox fans too!
If
you like thespians, come out for an evening of
fun this Friday!

Many families ask about how to
obtain toys for their children. The thing to remember about obtaining
toys is that the Marines do not give toys directly to children or
families. They are not equipped to do that. The Marines and
The Chicago TFT Parade Organization give the toys to neighborhood groups
such as local churches, schools, hospitals, the DCFS, Catholic Charities,
The Community Chest and other similar organizations. Those looking for
toys must contact one of these groups to obtain toys.
