The second annual Gen Art Film Festival, offering five nights of independent flicks and afterparties, kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Monday the 23rd with Bart Got a Room, a coming-of-age story about two...

Eighth Wonder of Chicago Chicago’s globe-trotting, Grammy-winning sextet Eighth Blackbird wraps up a much-lauded tour, including an acclaimed performance at Carnegie Hall, back on home turf, 7:30 p.m. Thursday the 29th at the Harris Theater (205 E.
