Look For ChiIL Mama This Weekend: Holes, MCA Family Days, Wonder Kids at MSI

Holes is highly recommended and playing through December 5th at Merle Reskin Theatre.   DePaul Theatre school does a fabulous job of bringing affordable, high quality children's theatre productions to life. 

Holes,was written and adapted for the stage by one of our favorite authors, Louis Sachar.   He's known for his Wayside School series and a hilarious, highly creative guy with a delightfully twisted sense of humor.

ChiIL Mama also recommends MCA Free Family Days--11-3PM every second Saturday.   This weekend, come check out artist Liam Gillick's work, and create your own art.   Museum admission and all activities are free for families with kids 12 and under.

 If you're raising more of a young scientist than an artist, check out MSI, for

Wonder Kids, a day of interactive science experiments at the Museum of Science and Industry on Saturday, November 14, 2009 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Families with children of all ages will learn about the science of themselves through fun, hands-on activities and make-and-takes related to the theme of our new exhibit, YOU! The Experience. Try painting with your knees or elbows to learn about your body. Identify what you're touching without seeing it. Decipher someone's emotions in a game called "mirror mirror." Understand sound by making your own bat ears, and more.   Activities are included with museum admission price.
