omg i'm so excited for the new production "The Real Housewives of the North Pole" 🤣 i mean who wouldn't want to see a musical about housewives at the north pole?? i've been waiting for this one to open and i'm planning on getting tickets ASAP!!! 🎟️ i love hell in a handbag productions they always bring such creativity and humor to their shows. and can we talk about the black panther heritage trail? it's so cool that they're dedicating plaques at the site of the assassinations, it's a great way to honor the memories of fred hampton and mark clark 🙏. but anyway back to "The Real Housewives" i'm also really looking forward to seeing rudolph runs wild, who's holiday is on my list too!!!
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole Black Panther Heritage Trail thing... I mean, it's crazy how far we've come since 1969 🤯. The fact that a vigil was held in honor of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, two men who were tragically taken from us too soon, is just heartbreaking. And to see community members who survived the raid in attendance, it really drives home the impact of what happened all those years ago.

I love that there's been a plaque dedicated to their memory at the site where it went down - it's like we're finally starting to give these two men the recognition they deserve 💡. And can I just say, I'm so tired of this holiday season feeling like it's all about consumerism and commercialization? It's awesome that there are still some awesome productions popping up in Chicago that celebrate the spirit of giving - "Who's Holiday" and "Rudolph Runs Wild" sound like a blast! 🎄👍
 
Ugh, can we talk about anything else? I mean, don't get me wrong, commemorating Fred Hampton's assassination is super important, but can't we do it without all the extra fanfare like a plaque dedication? It feels like we're always trying to make history more 'marketable' rather than just respecting the people who lived through it. And what's with all these holiday-themed productions? Are we really that desperate for entertainment in December? I guess if "The Real Housewives of the North Pole" is gonna be a thing, at least Hell in a Handbag Productions is trying to bring some weird, quirky energy to the table 🤪
 
Ugh, can't believe they're still bringin' up Fred Hampton's assassination like that 🤕. It's a tragedy that'll never be forgotten, but do we really need all these vigils every year? It feels like it's just becoming a thing to do during the holidays... and I'm not sayin' it's bad or anything, but can't they find somethin' else to do? 🤷‍♂️

And on the other hand, "The Real Housewives of the North Pole" sounds like the most ridiculous thing I've heard all year 😂. Like, who thought that was a good idea? I mean, I love a good parody as much as the next person, but this just seems like it's gonna be a total mess 🤪.

But hey, at least we got some actual Black Panther history being honored, so that's somethin' to be thankful for 💯. And "Who's Holiday" sounds kinda cool, I guess 🎭. Maybe I'll check it out...
 
🤔 I gotta ask, what's with all these commemorations happening around the same time? Is it a coincidence that we're also getting into the holiday spirit or is there something more going on here? 💡 A 56th anniversary vigil for the assassinations of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark feels like a pretty significant event. But then again, how often do we get to talk about actual historical events and not just feel-good stuff? 🤷‍♂️ What's the connection between these two things? And what's with all the holiday-themed productions? Are they trying to distract us from the real issues? 🎄 I need some more info on this before I can make up my mind... 😊
 
I'm pretty sure that plaque was already there, I mean, it's not like they just started remembering Fred Hampton and Mark Clark now. It's been 56 years, come on! They should've done something about it sooner 🤦‍♂️.

But seriously, I love how community members who survived the raid are being included in these events. It's about time we acknowledge the struggles of Black Panthers past and present 💪.

As for the holiday productions, I'm so down to see "The Real Housewives of the North Pole"! I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a parody of reality TV at Christmas? 🎅🏻🎁. Theater Wit's "Who's Holiday" sounds interesting too - I might have to check that out. Rudolph Runs Wild just seems like a normal Second City production to me... 😐.
 
🤔 So I'm reading this article about all these cool stuff happenin' in Chicago around the holidays... but you know what's missing? A simple way to find out what's goin' down without havin' to sift through like 5 different articles or social media posts 📊. Can't they just create a one-stop hub for city events? Like, a holiday calendar or something?! It's so annoying when I'm scrollin' through my feeds and I see all these cool-sounding productions but have no idea how to get tickets or even where to find the info 🎟️. And don't even get me started on the lack of accessibility features... can we please just have a decent app that makes it easy for everyone to participate? 💻
 
I'm not sure why people still care about commemorating this stuff... I mean, it's been 56 years ago already 🤷‍♂️. I guess some things never get old, right? 😒 But at the same time, I think it's kinda cool that they're keeping the memory alive and all that jazz 💫.

And omg, have you seen "The Real Housewives of the North Pole"?! 🎅🏼 I'm low-key excited to see it... but at the same time, isn't it just a bunch of drama from people who live in a fake snow globe? 🤣. And what's up with these holiday-themed shows? Don't they know it's almost summer?! ☀️.

I do love that there are people still passionate about preserving history and community though... that plaque dedication was kinda sweet 🙏. But, like, shouldn't we be focusing on the future instead of dwelling on the past? 🤔
 
can u believe they finally did something about fred hampton?? i mean, 56 yrs ago was like, a whole different era for chicago & america rn its amazing to see ppl from all walks of life coming together to honor his legacy 🤝🌟 but what really gets me is how many ppl still dont know who fred hampton was lol like, he's basically the black panther king 👑 anyway gotta give credit where credit is due, hell in a handbag productions are killing it with their theater shows 🎭 "the real housewives of the north pole" sounds like so much fun lol i need to get tickets ASAP 🎅🏼😂
 
I gotta say, I'm not really feeling all the hype around these holiday shows 🎉. Don't get me wrong, they're probably super fun and all that jazz, but are they really worth braving the crowds and high prices for? I mean, can we just watch a rerun of "It's a Wonderful Life" on Netflix like everyone else? 📺 Also, what's up with the obsession with Christmas? Don't get me wrong, it's festive and all that, but some people might be feeling a little left out during this time of year... like, what about Hanukkah or Kwanzaa? Let's not forget those holidays are just as important 🕎️. And while I'm at it, why do we need to dedicate an entire week to celebrating the holiday season? Can't we just take a chill pill and enjoy our favorite shows on a Friday night without all the fanfare? 😴
 
I'm just gonna say that it feels kinda weird that we're still talking about that dark period in history like that 56th anniversary thing is being commemorated... I mean, don't get me wrong, recognizing and learning from our past is super important, but can't we focus on the present and future more? 🤔

Anyway, back to holiday shenanigans! "The Real Housewives of the North Pole" sounds like a blast, I'd totally check that out. And Second City doing a Rudolph thing? That's not bad at all 😂. It just goes to show that even in Chicago, there's always something happening for everyone, from the serious stuff to the silly stuff 🎄
 
I just saw this thread and I'm thinking... what's up with all these holiday shows? 🎄🤣 I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good "Real Housewives" parody, but 56th anniversary of Black Panther assassinations? That's some heavy stuff. It feels like we're celebrating the wrong kind of revolution here. And what about the people who were actually affected by it? 🤔

Anyway, I'm just gonna say that I'm kinda surprised they didn't include anything else in the article besides those holiday shows. Like, a little more depth on the Black Panther commemoration would've been cool. But hey, I guess you can't please everyone. 👀
 
Ugh, can't believe how many Black Panther-related events are popping up everywhere... it feels like every other day is a memorial or commemoration. I mean, I get it, they're important people, but can we just take a break from it all? 🙄 Anyway, cool that the plaque was dedicated at the site - finally some recognition for those who fought for justice back in the 60s. And on the flip side, if you're looking for something to do during the holidays, I guess "The Real Housewives of the North Pole" is... a thing? 🎅️ Theater Wit's "Who's Holiday" sounds kinda interesting, but only if you're into that sorta thing.
 
So like the 56th anniversary of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark's assassinations is still super relevant I feel? It's crazy how history keeps repeating itself 🤯. And then to have a vigil with community members who lived through that trauma, it's just so emotional.

I don't get why we're even discussing holiday shows like "The Real Housewives of the North Pole" though. Like what does that have to do with anything? It's just another example of how we've moved on from real issues and are more focused on entertainment 🤷‍♀️.

But seriously, the plaque dedication is a great step towards acknowledging Chicago's history. And I guess it's cool that there's still interest in the Black Panther Heritage Trail. Maybe we can learn something from the past? 💡
 
🤣 56 years ago and still we're commemorating the deaths of Black Panther leaders? Like, what's the alternative, a parade to celebrate their assassinations? "Hey, let's party like it's 1969... and then shoot ourselves" 🎉😂 I'm not trying to be insensitive but come on, can't we move forward? On a lighter note, who knew The Real Housewives of the North Pole was a thing? I mean, I need to see this - my aunt would freak if she knew her fave reality show stars were singing carols with Santa. 🎅🏻
 
I love how the article jumps right into the vigils and commemorations first 🕊️. It sets a somber tone for the rest of the piece. But then it's like, suddenly you're thrust into a world of drag shows and holiday theater 🎭🎅️. I mean, "The Real Housewives of the North Pole" sounds super cheesy, but hey, who doesn't love a good guilty pleasure? The way they grouped these different events together makes me want to see what else Chicago has to offer during the holidays... maybe it's time for a city guide with some decent formatting 😂.
 
Just saw that they're putting up a plaque to remember Fred Hampton and Mark Clark... feels so important for the community to acknowledge this dark part of history 🙏. And on a completely different note, I'm kinda excited about "Rudolph Runs Wild" at Second City - who doesn't love a good holiday parody? 😂
 
I cant believe it still takes us 56 years to get a proper recognition for the sacrifices made by Fred Hampton and Mark Clark 🤯💔. It's not just about commemorating their deaths, it's about acknowledging the systemic oppression that led to their murders. The fact that we're dedicating a plaque at the site of the assassinations is a step in the right direction, but we need more concrete actions towards addressing the ongoing struggles of Black communities.

And on the other hand, I'm not sure what's more cringeworthy - the fact that people are making a living out of exploiting holiday themes or the fact that we're still using "holiday" as a way to co-opt and commercialize Black culture 🎅😒. The Real Housewives of the North Pole sounds like a mess, but hey, at least it's giving some folks a chance to express themselves in a weird way.
