🎤 Fri. Nov. 4, 6 – 10 p.m. Sing out for a good cause! The Rogers Park Free Store will hold a karaoke fundraiser at PO Box Collective (6900 N. Glenwood Ave.). Songs will cost $5 each. Drinks will be available but guests can BYOB to share.
📽️ Sat. Nov. 5, 6 – 8 p.m. What happens when a suburban Chicago mom befriends a baby squirrel while her son studies abroad in Poland? Find out at the Doc Chicago Short Film Showcase. This free screening at the Gene Siskel Film Center (164 N. State St.) will close out a day of panels and conversations around filmmaking held at the Cultural Center.
