This class will meet Wednesdays through November 13th (six weeks).

Six consecutive Wednesday nights. Information on enrollment available here.

Maya Kuper and Paul will be joined by local guest artists Matt Connolly (lead guitar) & Jeff “Wag” Wagner (drums). This special show follows Paul’s & Maya’s brunch at Tori Amos’ table earlier in the day as a continuation of the festivities celebrating the 20th anniversary of RAINN, co-founded by RAINN President Scott Berkowitz and Tori.

This event is free with all merchandise proceeds benefiting RAINN (the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network).

The performance will end at 8:45 but the signing and socializing will continue till 10 pm.

As part of the Grand Ed-Ventures series, Paul and performance-partner Maya Kuper “try out” their big Greenhouse Theater show (see Aug. 18 listing) tonight, not with a full band but as an acoustic duo.

After his 10-month, surgery-laden “hospital-&-then-home-healing hiatus,” Paul—joined by performance-partner Maya Kuper and their Dayna Clay Band (Paul, Maya, Mike Holden & Justin Marsh)—finally returns to the Big Stage, presenting a full-on, two-act, 100-minute (with Intermission) live version (adapted by him & Maya) of his acclaimed 2002 novel as part of the Greenhouse’s popular Trellis Series. A dozen scenes by Paul alternate with a dozen original songs by Paul & Maya to tell the story of rocker Dayna Clay’s climb out of darkness and into discovery. An earlier stage version earned a Chicago Reader Critic’s Choice. Local theater- and indie-film-company folks will be there to check out the material, so, please: attend, and be loudly enthusiastic!
