Enjoy comp (service fee only), $5 and $7.50 tickets to Lifeline Theatre’s performances in October and November of The Velveteen Rabbit.  A timeless children’s classic, The Velveteen Rabbit hops from the bedside table to the theatrical stage in this magical production from Lifeline Theatre. In Margery Williams’ touching story, a young boy forms a special bond with his stuffed rabbit, who wants nothing more than to become real through the love of its owner. This delightful play introduces this poignant tale to a new generation of fans, and also reminds older generations why the sentimental story still has the power to tug at their heartstrings after all these years.

Tickets to October performances of George Bernard Shaw’s Don Juan in Hell are Comp ($8 service charge) – November performances are $15.  Say what you want about the accommodations, but you can’t beat the entertainment in Hell, especially when the world’s greatest lover debates the Father of Lies in George Bernard Shaw’s Don Juan in Hell. The rarely performed third act of Shaw’s Man and Superman, this dream sequence finds Don Juan and the Devil debating the advantages of Hell (art, beauty, love, pleasure) and Heaven (rational discourse and promulgation of the Life Force). Written at the peak of Shaw’s genius, their brilliant discourse remains sharply relevant as the legendary wooer of women goes toe to toe with Lucifer in a sardonic debate over the human condition, gender equality, nationhood, and more. ShawChicago presents a thrilling concert version of Don Juan in Hell at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts.

If this is the sort of thing that floats your boat, grab the scare for less with this discount offer from Goldstar:  Seven weekend dates of Disturbia:  Screams in the Park to choose from and open from 7 pm to midnight. Two of Chicagoland’s top haunts join forces for the ultimate fright fest in Disturbia: Screams in the Park. It begins with a one-of-a-kind entry that sucks you into the haunt — whether you’re ready or not. Then you descend into an immersive world of horror in this highly interactive haunted labyrinth that grows progressively darker, leading you into the very pits of Hell. With all-new sets, a remodeled floor plan, fresh characters and unique scares, Disturbia: Screams in the Park promises a whole new level of terror. Joseph and Mike Pantano, the twisted minds behind Disturbia: Torment of Fears in Addison (voted number one in Haunted Houses Chicago’s 2009 and 2010 Patron’s Choice Awards), conceived this 20,000-square-foot, 35-room nightmare.
