SUMMARY:Airplane! Behind-the-Scenes of a Comedy Classic at Fourth Presbyterian Church
DESCRIPTION:When the film debuted in July of 1980\, Airplane! had a budget of only $3.5 million\, and yet it went on to earn nearly $200 million\, gathering a rabid fan-base\, inspiring countless comedians\, and providing perhaps the most quotable lines of any comedy in cinematic history. In their new book\, Surely You Can’t Be Serious: The True Story of Airplane! \, ZAZ (filmmakers David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams) share hilarious trivia and never-before-heard anecdotes about the creation of this classic movie. At Chicago Humanities\, Mark Bazar of WTTW’s The Interview Show sits down with writer/director David Zucker (and a special zoom appearance from his brother and fellow Airplane! filmmaker Jerry) for a night of laughter and nostalgia\, as we dive into clips\, images\, and stories from behind-the-scenes of this legendary comedic gem. For a special keepsake\, books pre-signed by all three filmmakers will be available for purchase. \nThis event will have asl interpretation\, open captions\, and assistive listening devices with t-coil available at the Box Office. \nTo buy tickets\, press on this link below: https://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/airplane/

SUMMARY:Language Models and AI: A Guide for the Perplexed at Columbia College Chicago - Student Center
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, language models have entered the popular consciousness as new apps like ChatGPT attract hundreds of millions of users. Bold claims have been made about the capabilities and future impact of such products. Researchers in the field of natural language processing (the scholarly field in which language models originated) have been somewhat taken aback by these developments; language models have been around for decades. Noah Smith\, an expert in natural language processing\, takes to the Chicago Humanities stage for a presentation that aims to demystify generative artificial intelligence with a focus on language models. By introducing historical context and a few key concepts and foundational ideas\, he aims to narrow the gap between scientific and popular understanding of language models while avoiding the hype. \nThis event will have open captions and assistive listening devices with t-coil available at the Box Office. \nTo buy tickets\, press on this link below: https://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/language-ai/

SUMMARY:Jungle Book Reimagined at Harris Theater for Music and Dance
DESCRIPTION:Run Time: 2 hours\, including intermission \nChild Policy: Recommended for ages 8+. To help determine whether this performance is appropriate for your child\, we encourage you to seek additional information about the themes in this program. All children attending a performance must have a ticket and be seated next to an adult. \nAudio Description will be available on Saturday\, November 11 / 2:00PM \nChoreographer and director Akram Khan’s eponymous dance company makes its long-awaited Harris Theater debut with the Chicago premiere of Khan’s Jungle Book reimagined\, a deeply personal interpretation based on the original story of Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale. Khan\, whose background is rooted in classical Kathak training and along with contemporary dance\, reinvents the journey of young Mowgli and her animal friends. \nIn a near future world\, a family is torn apart as they escape their homeland\, devastated by the impact of climate change. Arriving alone in a deserted modern city\, and with wild animals claiming the streets as their own\, Mowgli soon discovers unlikely allies in this strange new jungle. \nFeaturing an original new score and state-of-the-art animation and visuals\, Jungle Book reimagined is a compelling and vital piece of storytelling about our intrinsic need to belong and bond with others while connecting with and respecting the natural world around us. \n  \nhttps://www.harristheaterchicago.org/performance/jungle-book-reimagined

SUMMARY:The Lifespan of A Fact at TimeLine Theatre Company
DESCRIPTION:A comedic showdown between truth and fact set in the world of non-fiction publishing. \nJIM FINGAL IS AN EAGER YOUNG INTERN at a high-profile magazine hoping to impress his demanding editor-in-chief\, Emily Penrose. When assigned the job of fact-checking legendary writer John D’Agata’s essay about the city of Las Vegas\, Jim discovers a huge problem: many of the essay’s details were made up. As the publication deadline looms\, a battle between truth and fact ensues in a gripping and fast-paced comedic showdown. \nDrawing from true events surrounding real-life Jim Fingal’s fact-checking of the John D’Agata essay “What Happens There\,” The Lifespan of a Fact has been praised as “a smart and engaging exploration of the nature of truth and the role of the media in society\,” (Chicago Tribune) and “a tightly written and expertly crafted play that keeps the audience riveted from start to finish” (The New York Times). The book on which the play is based\, The Lifespan of a Fact\, received critical attention from national media including NPR\, The New York Times\, and The Los Angeles Times. It was subsequently named a “Top 10 Most Crucial Book” by the editors of Slate\, a “Best Book of the Year” by The Huffington Post\, and an Editor’s Choice by The New York Times Book Review. The stage adaptation opened on Broadway in 2018\, starring Daniel Radcliffe\, Bobby Cannavale\, and Cherry Jones. \nAccessibility: open captions \nhttps://timelinetheatre.com/events/lifespan/ \nThe Lifespan of a Fact runs November 9 – December 23\, 2023 (previews 11/1 – 11/8) at TimeLine Theatre\, 615 W.
