SUMMARY:Two Way Street Coffee House - Daniel Neihoff
DESCRIPTION:Two Way Street Coffee House is Chicagoland’s most beloved folk and acoustic music venue\, presenting weekly concerts and community events for over 55 years!  The show starts at 8pm (CT) and the doors open at 7:30pm. (Suggested donation $10\, cash or Paypal).  We will also host this concert virtually.  You may access the livestream on www.twowaystreet.org\, on our Facebook page\, or on our YouTube channel. \nOn Friday\, May 8\, 2026 Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series presents Daniel Neihoff. \nThat songwriters come from the western Kentucky clan of Neihoffs is a surprise to no one aware of the land and family. In number and colorfulness\, there aren’t many rivals. But few have natural storytelling and melody baked in quite as thoroughly as in Daniel Neihoff. Born in Texas and raised in Kentucky\, Daniel grew up in a family of songwriters\, with both his father and grandmother crafting melodies and lyrics. He wrote his first song at 8 years old\, surrounded by a family fit for country songs – the old kind about struggle and lonesomeness\, mistakes among enduring love. The melodies and legends were all around him in his family\, and it all seeped in. \nLiving now in Paducah\, KY\, Neihoff honed his skills while playing at church and learning from masterful guitar player\, Cheryl Yates. Over the years\, whether it was for paying gigs or for open mics\, Neihoff turned heads with his voice and rewarded the interest with his lyrics. The simmering burn of his talent and craft suddenly led somewhere big. At 20\, his first audition for a set at Nashville’s iconic Bluebird Cafe was successful. The Reidland kid’s smooth and soulful sound had already landed on Music City’s doorstep from the river town’s flood plains. \nThe area’s journalists took notice: WKMS’s Something From Nothing Podcast and The Spiel in Southern IL delved into his work. The world is hearing his range of storytelling and compelling melodies\, all with a soulful bend. Neihoff’s debut album reached number 32 on the iTunes singer/songwriter charts\, further solidifying his place in the music world. \nHis accolades are impressive: he won the Kerrville New Folk Competition in 2019\, was a 3-time finalist of Songwriter Serenade\, placed 3rd in the Woody Guthrie songwriter contest\, and won the Rocky Mountain Songwriters Contest in 2023. Neihoff has also been featured on PBS and received praise from Lori Walsh\, host of In The Moment on SDPB\, who said\, “Daniel Neihoff\, you are just what we need.” We are hearing the launch of a voice familiar and unique that feels as if it began quite a while ago. \nIf you can’t join us in person\, you can still tune in virtually to catch the show!  Make your donation HERE to Daniel.  Visit www.twowaystreet.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Pinecone Cottage Tea House - A Woodland Faerie Afternoon Tea
DESCRIPTION:Woodland faeries are magical creatures that have a whimsical connection to nature. The Fay have inspired this Woodland Faerie Afternoon Tea featuring herbs\, fruit\, spring veggies\, flowers\, and of course\, mushrooms. There are many signs to look out for which may reveal the presence of Forest Faeries. Faeries often arrange torn leaves to send messages to their faerie friends. They may also sprinkle faerie dust along mossy trails to guide others back to their homes. Because faeries prefer their dwellings to stay hidden\, their homes are cleverly concealed—often tucked into knot holes in old tree stumps. Even though Forest Faeries prefer the security of the ground\, remember that Tree Faeries live high in the treetops too! \n\nChef Pam \nAfternoon Tea Served by Reservation Only\nAge Requirement 13 yrs +\nThree Course Prix Fixe Afternoon Tea | 62\nGluten Free\, Dairy Free\, Vegetarian or Vegan Options | 67\nPrice Includes 20% Gratuity\nBYOB Wine or Beer | 10 per bottle \nRecommended Teas\nFeatured Tea – Wild Raspberry Oolong\nIced tea – Ginger-Chamomile-Orange | 5\nTeatail – Botanical-Strawberry Limeade | 7\nLavender-Lime-Mint and Strawberry Sunshine Loose Tea with Strawberry Syrup and Lime Juice \nBeginnings\nEnchanted Woodland Faerie Salad with Strawberry-Lemon-Poppyseed Tea Bread \nSavories and PineScones\nSpring Mushroom Pie\nRainbow Chard Wrap\nGreen Goddess-Veggie Tea Sandwich\nForest Elf Chèvre Crostini\nCarrot Cake PineScone with Cinnamon Devon Crème and Mixed Berry Preserves \nSweet Endings\nMagical Chocolate Hedgehog and Vanilla Acorn\nForest Moss Cocoa Cupcake\nWoodland Pixie Fruit Tart \nPinecone Cottage Weekend Afternoon Tea and Teatorial Policy\nPinecone Cottage is now taking Weekend Afternoon Tea and Event reservations on our website.

SUMMARY:Tivoli Theatre - After Hours Film Society Presents - My Father's Shadow
DESCRIPTION:CAST & CREW\nDirected by Akinola Davies Jr.\nFeaturing Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù\, Chibuike Marvellous Egbo\, Godwin Chiemerie Egbo\nRunning Time: 93 mins.\nNot rated\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMOVIE REVIEW\n\n\nReviewed by Alissa Wilkinson | The New York Times \nTwo sons accompany their father for the day in a poignant and bittersweet Nigerian debut film.\n\nThe most significant days from your childhood linger in memory with unusual luminosity\, and for the young brothers Akin (Godwin Egbo) and Remi (Chibuike Marvellous Egbo)\, today is about to be one of those days. It starts out simply enough: a hot\, lazy morning at their home in rural Nigeria. They eat cereal\, bicker and horse around\, amusing themselves while their mother goes to the village. It seems like it will be like any other day. \nBut then their father\, Folarin (Sope Dirisu)\, says he needs to head back to Lagos to pick up his paycheck. He’s rarely home\, since he works in the city and spends long stretches of time there\, and they’re unhappy that he’s leaving again. On a whim\, he decides that his sons will come with him on this trip. Delighted by the unexpected time with their father\, they get ready for a day that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. \n“My Father’s Shadow” is not strictly based on the childhood of its writers\, Akinola Davies Jr.\, for whom this is also his feature directorial debut\, and his brother\, Wale Davies. But they lost their father when they were young\, and the film feels filtered through a fiercely personal layer of love and memory. Set against the backdrop of the contentious Nigerian presidential elections in 1993\, and thus a country teetering on the brink of democratic crisis\, it unspools like an odyssey for these two boys\, who don’t quite understand what’s going on around them. All they know is that their father’s world is much bigger than their own\, it often takes him away from them and they fervently wish it did not. \nThose absences have created a kind of space between father and sons that manifests in equal parts admiration and resentment\, a gap visible in their interactions. For his part\, Folarin is rediscovering the boys as much as they are relearning who he is. In his extraordinary performance\, Dirisu has a charismatic\, mesmerizing presence\, playing a man who feels tenderly toward his family but has tremendous sorrow and rage bubbling beneath the surface. He is a mystery to his children\, and thus to us at first\, but we can see there’s a lot to him\, much more than his sons probably will ever know. \nThis kind of memory film has a double framing\, of sorts: We’re watching from the children’s perspective\, but through the lens of an adult’s memory. (In this way\, it’s similar to films like “Aftersun” and “Janet Planet.”) So there’s a dual consciousness at work — we have to feel the naïveté of the child as well as the intuition of the adult\, who looks back on those moments and understands\, from the distance of age and experience\, what they were really seeing.\nTo create this effect\, Davies and his cinematographer\, Jermaine Edwards\, often subtly shift to the boys’ perspective\, showing the action at the height of their eye line rather than that of the adults. As Folarin is having a conversation\, we may be only half-hearing it\, because the boys are distracted by something they see on the street. When a crowd begins shouting in a bar and chaos breaks out\, we feel not the passion and fury of the adults\, but the panic of the boys caught down below in the crush of torsos\, unable to see what is happening. \nBut we don’t spend the entire film looking from the boys’ point of view; sometimes we shift to Folarin’s\, and grasp some of what has been going on in the parts of his life — both personal and political — that his family knows nothing about. A hardened stare between him and a group of soldiers can speak volumes. The glance a waitress gives him when he orders sodas for his sons means something more than mere acknowledgment of the request. \nThe pivotal scene in the film comes in the late afternoon\, and involves a heart-to-heart talk between father and son on a beach. It’s the culmination of something that “My Father’s Shadow” does beautifully: continually unfold Folarin’s character in manners that defy expectations\, the way it is startling to learn\, as a child\, that your parents are real people. The reasons this day will hover in Akin and Remi’s memories are manifold\, but for Remi\, at least\, it’s the day in which he learned what he means to his father. The film grows impressionistic at this point\, as if the memory sometimes becomes too intense to look at directly. “Daddy\, if you say that you love us and God loves us\, then does that mean that people who love us are always far away?” Remi asks his father. The look on Folarin’s face says the question has gone like a stab through his heart.\n​\nIt’s that sharp contrast of beauty with an undercurrent of pain that makes “My Father’s Shadow” so bittersweet\, and it’s why it cuts to the quick. “The memories that pain you when someone leaves are the same ones that will comfort you later\,” Folarin tells Remi on the beach\, as they watch Remi in the waves. No wonder this memory needed to become a movie. \n\nDISCUSSION FOLLOWS EVERY FILM!\n$7.00 Members | $11.00 Non-Members\nTIVOLI THEATRE\n5021 Highland Avenue  |  Downers Grove\, IL\n630-968-0219 |  classiccinemas.com\nWe apologize—Movie Pass cannot be used for AHFS programs

SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop - Romance Reads Book Club
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\nRomance Reads Book Club\n\nJoin us in Downers Grove for our monthly Romance Reads Book Club! Our next meeting will be held on Thursday\, May 14th at 7:00 pm\, and we will be discussing Stranger Things Have Happened. This will be a free event\, but we highly encourage the purchase of the monthly book from our store. \nPlease note that the author will not be in attendance at this event! This conversation will be moderated by Anderson’s bookseller Sheila. \nMore about Stranger Things Have Happened:   \nCan fake dating lead to real love? In Kasie West’s next sexy adult romcom two people must decide where the lie ends and the chemistry begins. \nSutton knows she needs therapy. After all\, she’s managing her newly opened restaurant remotely while taking care of her ungrateful sick mother. Plus\, her boyfriend of two years just dumped her over the phone. But does therapy with a handsome stranger\, who she has to pretend to be engaged to\, in order to help her friend’s struggling relationship count? Probably not. Then why did she just agree to go? Because she’s had a few too many drinks? Because this stranger\, Elijah\, is smug and annoying and really\, really handsome? Because she feels guilty that she abandoned her best friend\, Tara\, after high school and this might just make up for it? Whatever the reason\, she has committed to this unhinged plan. \nWhat the hell is Sutton doing? \nHelping Tara prove a point: a good therapist can tell the difference between real love and fake love. That’s what she’s doing. But as they attend their sessions\, Sutton and Elijah only seem to be proving one thing—the lines between pretend desire and real desire are very blurry.
