uniquely positioned as the only art cinema in the Loop. We feature
ground-breaking independent cinema, provocative documentaries,
retrospectives highlighting noted directors and actors, and classic
films celebrating the legends of bygone eras in cinema, and at select
screenings, filmmaker appearances which are opportunities to discuss
movies in-depth to further enhance the film-going experience.”
A variety of movies is contained within one evening from Stanley Kubrick classic Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bombstarring Peter Sellers, to 60s and 70s excess in Paul Raymond biopic The Look of Love directed by Michael Winterbottom and starring Steve Coogan, to animation Grave of the Fireflies by Japan’s noted Studio Ghibli, concerning the plight of two young children who lose their mother in a World War II air raid.

Chicago IANDS Next Meeting, Saturday, July 13, 2013, 2-5 pm
Saturday, July 13, 2-5 pm
Guest Speaker: SHERRY ANSHARA: 4
NDEs, Author, Medical Intuitive, Healer, Developer of QuantumPathic Energy Methods
Medical
intuitive Sherry Anshara is founder of QuantumPathic® Center of
Consciousness, developer of the QuantumPathic Energy MethodSM, and
developer / educator of the Intuitive Powers / Practical ApplicationsTM
courses. In her private practice located in Scottsdale, Arizona,
individuals, business owners, couples and families locally, nationally
and internationally learn how to connect to their cellular memory by
using their intuition to consciously take charge of their lives and no
longer be influenced by limited Belief Systems and fears. They become
the observers and the conscious creators of their lives.
Anshara
authored “The Age of Inheritance: The Activation of the Thirteen
Chakras” and “And the Point Is…? Beyond Duality.” She’s a contributor to
many local and national publications, and hosted the weekly “Conscious
Healing” online radio show for 5 years until 2010.
Anshara
is also a founder and president of the Blended Healthcare Consortium, a
group of doctors, healthcare practitioners and business professionals
who are dedicated to the mission of providing personalized solutions for
individual wellness at every age and stage of their lives.
QuantumPathic’s
focus is to teach people how to heal themselves physically, mentally,
emotionally and spiritually using the QuantumPathic Energy MethodSM.
This Energy Method incorporates traditional and unique Energy Medicine
techniques to help people go into their cellular memory, understand the
root cause of their issues, and release the blocked energies that are
preventing change. A result of this process is expansion of one’s
consciousness and helps individuals to connect with their intuition to
gain clear awareness of how and why they are creating every detail of
their lives.
For the first time, this
progressive process is the practical connection of consciousness within
the human body from the cellular level that blends together all aspects
of life: business, medicine, alternative healthcare, Quantum Physics,
science, and relationships in the unity of oneness and wholeness for
self.
Sherry has had four near-death
experiences. She will be doing private one-on-one healing sessions for
us on July 14 and 15 (all slots already taken), and speaking at the
Church of the Spirit on July 14. More info to follow.
For more info about Sherry and her work, please go to:

Our meditations at the beginning of each meeting are short, but important spiritual energy times for us.....Please observe silence and wait to enter the auditorium until after the meditation is over.....thank you.
(Also, please turn off all cell phones during the meeting.)

Coming
Next Month: Kathleen FORTI, Ph.D.: Clinical Psychologist, NDEr,

experience.

FOOD TABLE --- PLEASE READ!
We
have a new volunteer Food Coordinator to do the food at our
meetings....Lisa Westerfield. Many thanks, Lisa, for stepping up. We
need an Assistant for her and we still need helpers to help set up at 1
pm and to clean up after the intermission. We need a group of people,
so that we can be sure that we have at least 2
people who are willing to come early (by 1 pm) and help set up the
food table and at least 2 people who will clean up the mess after the
intermission and take the dirty dishes home and wash them. (It's not a
lot of dishes.)
My
guides informed me when I started this organization that the food table
was important at the intermission. We need to feed mind, soul, and
BODY. Food is a social lubricant and it helps to "ground" people. It is not something we can skip. I do not have the energy to worry about this. Please people----step up and help so we can continue Chicago IANDS......
Thank you for volunteering and making it happen!
DIRECT FROM LAS VEGAS, “THE RAT PACK IS BACK!” TO PLAY THE ROSEMONT THEATRE FOR ONE-PERFORMANCE-ONLY, SATURDAY, OCT. 19 AT 8 P.M
DIRECT FROM LAS VEGAS,
“THE RAT PACK IS BACK!” TO PLAY THE ROSEMONT THEATRE FOR
ONE-PERFORMANCE-ONLY, SATURDAY, OCT. 19 AT 8 P.M.
“This is as close as anyone has come to capturing the feeling of the real thing!”
-- The Las Vegas Sun
“This is as close as anyone has come to capturing the feeling of the real thing!”
-- The Las Vegas Sun
(Rosemont, IL ) – “THE RAT PACK IS BACK!,” a tribute to the legendary 1960s stars known as “The Rat Pack,” will play the Rosemont Theatre, 5400 N. River Road, for one-performance-only, Saturday, Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 12 at 10 a.m. Photos from the production are downloadable here.
All proceeds generated by this performance of “THE RAT PACK IS BACK!” will benefit Salute Inc., a non-profit organization that provides financial support for military men and women and their families, organized by Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens. This is the third consecutive year that Mayor Stephens has organized a theater performance to benefit Salute Inc. To date, the performances have raised more than $80,000.
“THE RAT PACK IS BACK!” takes the audience back in time and space to classic Las Vegas on a balmy night circa 1960 when four show business legends -- Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop and Dean Martin -- converged at the Sands Hotel for the first time. These stars delivered style with substance, swing with swagger and a non-stop party to which everyone wanted access.
“THE RAT PACK IS BACK!” unites four of the country’s most accomplished singer/actors. Mickey Joseph (appearing as Joey Bishop); Drew Anthony (appearing as Dean Martin); Kenny Jones (appearing as Sammy Davis, Jr.) and Brian Duprey (appearing as Frank Sinatra).
In “THE RAT PACK IS BACK!,” Frank, Sammy, Joey and Dean are back and do it “just one more time.” What ensues is an uncanny recreation of one of the Rat Pack’s raucous, antic-filled performances, featuring Bishop’s hilarious comedy and performances of such standards as Sinatra’s “You Make Me Feel So Young,” and “A Foggy Day,” Martin’s “That’s Amoré” and Davis’ “Mr. Bojangles.” Backing the singers is swinging 12-piece live orchestra performing period perfect orchestrations.
“THE RAT PACK IS BACK!” is produced by Dick Feeney (“Viva Las Vegas,” “Showgirls,” “The Great Gleason”).
“THE RAT PACK IS BACK!” will play the Rosemont Theatre, 5400 N. River Road on Saturday, Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets are priced from $29.50 - $69. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 12 at 10 a.m. and are available at www.rosemonttheatre.com
SALUTE, INC. was founded in 2003 by Will and Mary Beth Beiersdorf of Arlington Heights, Illinois. Shortly after 9/11, Will, a Naval Reservist, was called to active duty and deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for thirteen months. The severe financial impact his deployment had on his family came as a startling revelation. While Will was serving in Cuba, Mary Beth was overwhelmed with the magnitude of what she and their three sons were facing. In addition to the lack of finances, Mary Beth and her children coped with the fear of the unknown and the emotional strain caused by their separation from Will.
With the help, support and outpouring of love from family, friends, their church and their community, they were able to survive. Upon Will's return, both he and Mary Beth felt the need to "give back" by helping others who were experiencing similar hardships. In 2003, they decided to start an organization whose fundraising efforts would be based around a yearly Memorial Day Family Run/Walk. After sharing their vision with family, friends and pooling their resources, Salute was born!
SALUTE, INC. is now a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides financial support for our military men and women through a variety of fundraising activities.

"THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" Extended Due to Popular Demand (Chicago)
EXTENDED DUE TO EARLY INTEREST & POPULAR DEMAND!
ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER’S
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
IN A SPECTACULAR NEW PRODUCTION BY
CAMERON MACKINTOSH
WILL NOW PLAY CHICAGO JANUARY 9 – MARCH 2, 2014
Broadway In Chicago is thrilled to announce that Cameron Mackintosh’s spectacular new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has added two weeks to its premiere in Chicago due to popular demand. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA will play the Cadillac Palace Theatre (151 West Randolph) for a limited 8-week engagement from January 9 – March 2, 2014.
Andrew Lloyd Webber said, “It’s wonderful to have a new production of PHANTOM
touring America in the same year that the show celebrates 25 years on
Broadway. Director Laurence Connor has done an amazing job and this
production has received huge critical acclaim in the UK.”
Cameron
Mackintosh said, ''After a glorious celebration last month of 25
phenomenal years on Broadway with no end in sight, I'm delighted to be
able to bring this dazzling new production of PHANTOM --
which has been phenomenally well-received by both audiences and critics
in the U.K this past year -- to America. With an exciting new design
and staging, retaining Maria Björnson’s amazing costumes, I am confident
American audiences will fall in love with the PHANTOM in his new guise -- for the first time or all over again.”
The new production of PHANTOM has been an enormous hit on its inaugural UK tour with audiences and critics alike…
“An intense and spectacular new production with a stunning new design, fresh drama and added momentum.”
“Cameron Mackintosh’s flawless new PHANTOM is the best production of this musical ever.”
“Take a deep breath and prepare to be dazzled; this kind of gorgeous escapism is exactly what audiences need.”
“A PHENOMENON.”
“Andrew Lloyd Webber’s luscious music - a great theatrical experience PHANTASTIC.”
This new production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is directed by Laurence Connor (the 25th Anniversary Les Misérables now on tour and headed for Broadway, Jesus Christ Superstar)
with choreography by Scott Ambler, set design by Paul Brown, Tony
Award-winning original costume design by Maria Björnson, lighting design
by Paule Constable, sound design by Mick Potter and musical supervision
by John Rigby. The production is overseen by Matthew Bourne and
Cameron Mackintosh. THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has music by
Andrew Lloyd Webber; lyrics are by Charles Hart (with additional lyrics
by Richard Stilgoe) and the book is by Richard Stilgoe and Andrew Lloyd
Webber. Orchestrations are by David Cullen and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
continues its record-breaking runs in London and on Broadway. There
are currently five productions around the world: the flagship London
production (26 Years and counting), New York (25 years and counting - PHANTOM celebrated its 25th Anniversary on Broadway on January 26 of this year), Budapest (Hungary), Kyoto (Japan) and Seoul (Korea).
Since its debut, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
has grossed over $890 million on Broadway. Even now, it is
consistently among Broadway’s highest-grossing shows and remains a box
office champ. Earlier this year, the production shattered the house
record at The Majestic by having its best weekly gross in its entire
25-year history. Total attendance is now over 15 million and it
continues to play with no end in sight.
The
musical’s international success – equally staggering – is represented
by total worldwide grosses estimated at over $5.6 billion. This
colossal figure makes PHANTOM the most successful entertainment venture of all time, with revenues higher than any film or stage play in history, including Titanic, Star Wars and far surpassing the world’s highest-grossing film Avatar (at $2.8 billion). Worldwide, over 65,000 performances have been seen by 130 million people in 28 countries and 148 cities in 13 languages.
The flagship London production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA,
which opened in 1986 at Her Majesty’s Theatre, celebrated 25 years in
October 2011. That milestone was celebrated with a special production
at London’s Royal Albert Hall directed by Laurence Connor.
The
show has won more than 70 major theater awards, including seven 1988
Tony Awards (including Best Musical) and three Olivier Awards in the
West End. The original cast recording, with over 40 million copies sold
worldwide, is the best-selling cast recording of all time. In
September 2010, student productions of PHANTOM started
being licensed through R&H Theatricals, and so far have been
performed at hundreds of high schools and colleges across the U.S. and
in Canada.
The new touring production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
will be the first to tour the U.S. in three years. There have been
three previous U.S. National Tours that grossed over $1.5 billion in
combined box office sales and played 216 engagements in 77 cities for an
unprecedented total of 36 years and over 14,500 performances to 31
million people.
Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tells
the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the
Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit
it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine,
and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her
extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his
command.
