SUMMARY:Two Way Street Coffee House Presents Heather Styka
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 22\, 2026 Two Way Street Coffee House Friday Night Concert Series presents Heather Styka. \nAfter growing up in the Chicago suburbs\, Heather Styka moved to the city to studying creative writing\, meanwhile honing her song craft among Chicago’s long-standing folk community. “Chicago has such a rich musical history\, especially with places like the Old Town School of Folk Music\,” Styka explains. “I was definitely steeped in that tradition.” Her 2011 release Lifeboats for Atlantis brought her to national attention\, hitting #3 on the FOLK-DJ charts. Styka’s honest\, image-heavy songs have garnered her a number of awards\, including being a New Folk Finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival (2015\, 2017) and official showcases at Folk Alliance International\, NERFA\, SWRFA\, and FARM. \nWhile living in Portland\, Maine\, Heather Styka released While This Planet Spins Beneath Our Feet. Recorded with Beehive Productions and printed by Styka on a 1901 letterpress in Maine\, this 2014 release charted for four months on FOLK-DJ. Styka’s next album\, The Bittersweet Tapes (2016)\, was recorded in Tulsa\, Oklahoma on an old four track recorder with sparse\, ethereal production by John Calvin Abney (John Moreland\, Samantha Crain). These gut-punch pretty songs nod to traditional folk\, classic country\, and even garage rock\, carried by Styka’s emotive vocals. \nLive\, Heather Styka comes off as something like Leonard Cohen crossed with Patsy Cline. Armed with a guileless\, unvarnished delivery\, she’s equal parts wordsmith and entertainer. Styka’s energetic shows feel as intimate and candid as late night conversation\, peppered with a quirky sense of humor and confessional storytelling. \nWith the addition of The Sentimentals\, North is something of a departure from Styka’s earlier intimate\, haunting folk albums\, but the direct and narrative poetry of her lyricism remains intact. “It’s still a bunch of unadulterated feelings. I tell stories about feelings. It’s like we’re on the same folky bummer road trip\, but now we’re driving a convertible with friends in the back seat\,” laughs Styka. “It’s fun\, and it’s real. We need that now.” \n SELKEN is the indie rock / bummer pop project of Chicago songwriter Heather Styka. Blending dreamy textures with sharp lyrical clarity\, SELKEN’s music drifts between emotional honesty and mythic undertow—equal parts siren song and late-night confession. Influenced by folk\, vintage pop\, and shimmering synths\, Styka writes for those in transition: grieving\, growing\, and searching for meaning in the in-between. The Winds\, SELKEN’s debut LP\, is a cathartic\, cinematic exploration of longing\, resilience\, and letting go. \nIf you can’t join us in person\, you can still tune in virtually to catch the show! Make your donation HERE to Heather.  Visit www.twowaystreet.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Anderson's Bookshop - Banned Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Downers Grove for our monthly Banned Book Club! Our next meeting will be held on Thursday\, May 21st at 6:00 pm\, and we will be discussing Last Night at the Telegraph Club. This will be a free event\, but we highly encourage the purchase of the monthly book from our store. Please note that the author will not be present at this event. \nMore about Last Night at the Telegraph Club:   \nNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND STONEWALL BOOK AWARD • From acclaimed author Malinda Lo comes a gripping\, tender coming-of-age novel exploring identity\, queerness\, and historical upheaval set in San Francisco’s Chinatown during the 1950s. \n“Lush\, ambitious and layered\, Malinda Lo’s sweeping historical novel is the queer romance we’ve been waiting for.”—Ms. Magazine \nSeventeen-year-old Lily Hu can’t remember exactly when the feeling took root—that desire to look\, to move closer\, to touch. Whenever it started growing\, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly\, everything seemed possible. \nBut America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love\, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone\, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father—despite his hard-won citizenship—Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day. \nMeticulously researched\, emotionally stirring\, and startlingly brave\, Last Night at the Telegraph Club is a standout work of historical fiction that has taken the world by storm. \nWinner of the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature • A Michael L. Printz Honor Book • A We Need Diverse Books Walter Dean Myers Honor Book • A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist • A Kirkus Reviews Best Young Adult Book of the Century \nAbout the Author:\nMalinda Lo is the New York Times bestselling author of Last Night at the Telegraph Club\, winner of the National Book Award\, the Stonewall Book Award\, and the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature\, as well as Michael L. Printz and Walter Dean Myers honors. Her debut novel Ash\, a Sapphic retelling of Cinderella\, was a finalist for the William C. Morris YA Debut Award\, the Andre Norton Award for YA Science Fiction and Fantasy\, the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award\, and the Lambda Literary Award. Malinda’s short fiction and nonfiction has been published by The New York Times\, NPR\, Autostraddle\, The Horn Book\, and multiple anthologies. She lives in Massachusetts with her wife and their dog.

SUMMARY:Tivoli Theatre - After Hours Film Society Presents - Young Mothers
DESCRIPTION:CAST & CREW\nDirected by Jean-Pierre Dardenne\nFeaturing Babette Verbeek\, Elsa Houben\, Janaina Halloy\nIn French with English subtitles\nRunning Time: 105 mins.\nNot rated\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMOVIE REVIEW\nThe Dardenne Brothers Bring Clear-Sighted Observation and Empathy to a Tender Snapshot of Women at a Crossroads\n\nReviewed by David Rooney | The Hollywood ReporterThe stripped-down aesthetic principles\, compassionate humanism and naturalistic purity in the films of Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne make their body of work uncommonly cohesive. It’s easy to be glib about the influential Belgian brothers and say you know exactly what you’re getting with a new Dardenne film — much like their social realist counterpart across the North Sea\, Ken Loach\, whose films they began helping to produce in 2009. But anticipating the form\, the political leanings or broad thematic concerns of a movie is not the same as knowing in advance where it will take you\, what kind of marginalized lives it will illuminate. \nEver since their international breakthrough in the 1990s with La Promesse and Rosetta\, there’s always been the capacity to surprise in a Dardenne movie. Their latest\, Young Mothers (Jeunes Mères)\, is the filmmakers’ most surprising work in years. It provides unfiltered emotional access to the anxieties and hopes of five vulnerable working-class teenage women and the babies requiring their love and care\, often when they can barely care for themselves. \nThe project was hatched out of a visit by the Dardennes to a maternal support home near Liège\, with the initial aim of developing a story about one young mother struggling to connect with her baby. But they were so struck by what they witnessed there — among the mothers as well as the nursing\, counseling and administrative staff — that they expanded their plans to build a multicharacter ensemble piece. \nThat alone marks a shift for the writer-directors\, whose work tends predominantly to lock in on one or two main characters. It also allows them to draw even more than usual on their background in documentary. Young Mothers is closer to docu-fiction than any of their recent work. It follows the struggles of four women\, three of them with newborns and one who’s pregnant with a looming due date\, plus a fifth whose stay at the shelter is nearing its end.\nJust two weeks away from giving birth\, Jessica (Babette Verbeek) waits in an agitated state at a bus stop where she has organized to meet her biological mother Morgane (India Hair)\, who gave her up for adoption when she was younger than her daughter is now. Both before and after the arrival of her baby\, Jessica longs to understand the reasoning behind her mother’s decision\, and to know if she ever felt remorse. \nPerla (Lucie Laruelle) has given birth to a son while the boy’s father\, Robin (Gunter Duret)\, was in juvenile detention. She brings him a spliff to celebrate his release\, but Robin shows little affection for her and barely even looks at their child. While Perla has signed out of the shelter for several hours\, expecting to spend the day with him\, Robin can’t get away fast enough. Perla faints when she gets back\, and another young mother\, Julie (Elsa Houben)\, massages her to knead the numbness out of her body. \nFifteen-year-old Ariane (Janaina Halloy Fokan) wants to put her infant daughter in foster care and finish school. Her mother Nathalie (Christelle Cornil)\, who talked her out of having an abortion\, is against that plan\, insisting she can help raise the child. But Nathalie is a drunk who has been in an abusive relationship with a violent man. At first\, she coaxes Ariane to visit by assuring her that she has quit drinking and dumped the guy\, but there are signs that indicate otherwise. Growing impatient with her daughter’s rebukes\, Nathalie snaps\, “He hit me worse than he hit you.” \nJulie and her baby’s sweet-natured father\, Dylan (Jef Jacobs)\, are both recovering addicts. They leave their young daughter at a childcare facility while they go across town to see a subsidized apartment where they hope to live as a family. Dylan\, a baker’s apprentice\, wants to marry her; their journey on his moped is one of the film’s loveliest sequences\, an image of freedom and happiness that suggests such a life might be within reach. But there are hiccups. \nSetbacks are as much a part of these women’s realities as their tentative steps forward\, yearning to carve out better lives for themselves and their children. One incentive to keep trying is the success of Naïma (Samia Hilmi)\, who is preparing to move with her child into their own flat and is on track to secure a job as a railway ticket inspector. Her sendoff from the shelter\, with cake served outside in the garden\, is one of many affecting displays of solidarity. \nOthers have a bumpier path: Julie relapses into drug use and anxiety attacks; Perla refuses to read the obvious signs that Robin has no interest in settling down with her or becoming a hands-on father; Jessica keeps hitting a wall with her mother and has a hostile encounter with the unsympathetic parents of her baby’s father\, who run what appears to be a successful gym. They demand to know what she wants from their son\, insisting that she’s to blame for her situation since she declined to have the abortion they offered to pay for. \nThe filmmakers thread these stories seamlessly into a larger picture that balances despair with moments that point cautiously toward a more stable future. There’s never a false note from the young actors\, all of whom have deeply moving scenes. But Young Mothers is also captivating when it’s simply taking in the quotidian responsibilities of new parenthood — feeding\, diaper changing\, bathtime — or when it catches an expression of wonder or joy as a mother gazes into the tiny face of the child she has created. \nDP Benoît Dervaux’s camera is always attentive\, never intrusive or fussy\, and the use of only available light adds to the documentary-like authenticity of the stories. \nPossibly the single most gorgeous moment in the movie happens when one of the mothers\, bracing for the wrenching separation of putting her baby into foster care\, straps the infant into a car seat. If you don’t melt when you see the blissful smile that spreads across the baby’s adorable face and lights up her eyes\, I suspect you’re a terrible person. \nAs attuned as they are to the harsh experiences of characters living bare-bones existences on the fringes of society\, the Dardennes have never been doom-peddling fatalists. \nThat aspect is clear in a number of beautiful forward-facing scenes — Ariane writing a letter for her daughter to read when she turns 18; Jessica breaking through and being able to communicate with Morgane when her dogged determination pays off; Perla having a blowup fight with her older half-sister\, Angèle (Joely Mbundu)\, but then reconciling with genuine warmth and an offer of support; and especially\, Julie and Dylan taking their baby to visit a former music teacher who helped them both.\n​\nThe Dardennes are not in the business of offering easy fixes for their characters’ difficulties. But when the teacher sits at the piano to begin the child’s introduction to music\, Mozart’s “Rondo a la Turca” sounds like a hymn of triumphant resilience and elation. \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:Two Way Street Coffee House - Tunes & Tales
DESCRIPTION:Tunes & Tales is a new songwriter-in-the-round series at the Two Way Street Coffee House\, hosted by Ashley & Simpson—directors of the venue and a songwriting folk duo. Each session brings Ashley & Simpson together with two guest songwriters for an intimate afternoon of tunes and tales. In this cozy setting\, artists take turns sharing their songs and the stories behind them\, offering a deeper look into their creative process. Join us for a warm\, conversational atmosphere where melodies meet meaning and every song comes with a tale. \nOur nextTunes & Tales will be May 17\, 2026 at 3pm (CT)\, where Ashley & Simpson will host Robin Bienemann and Jenny Bienemann. \nROBIN BIENEMANN \nRobin Bienemann is a singer & songwriter from Chicago. His wickedly funny and poignant original songs mix contemporary themes with old musical styles. He combines dry humor and sophisticated songwriting with a deep sense of history. At his musical core is a reverence for the guitar as an instrument to accompany songs and as a vessel to express the American psyche in all its strange beauty and complexity. \nRobin revels in the delicious history of Chicago music. He combines Blues\, Jazz\, Country and Latin music with fingerstyle guitar to create a playground for his lyrical musings on science\, animals and the whole scope of human experience. His songs are poetic\, comical and educational. A flow of images ranging from vampires\, insects\, dinosaurs\, dodo birds\, work and romance. \nRobin has shared the stage with Dan Hicks\, Christine Lavin\, Junior Brown & Southern Culture on the Skids. He performs regularly solo\, with his trio\, and as a duo with his wife Jenny Bienemann. With his duo Twang Bang he toured the U.S. and Japan. \nJENNY BIENEMANN \nJenny Bienemann is an award-winning poet\, singer\, songwriter\, and visual artist with a mission to find the extraordinary in the everyday. With three critically acclaimed studio albums and two live albums\, her music has underscored TV\, film and theatre projects. She’s offered classes at The Old Town School of Folk Music\, Lamb’s Retreat for Songwriters\, and The Acorn Theatre. \nShe began a daily practice of taking photos and writing haiku. What started as a lark quickly evolved into Haiku Milieu\, a movement of creativity and community.  Today\, there are four Haiku Milieu books\, and more than 450 new songs inspired by Haiku Milieu\, written by artists from across the United States and a Sunday Morning Haiku Milieu email that reaches a global audience. She has been featured in the Chicago Tribune Arts Section\, WGN Radio 720 in Chicago\, Chicago Public Radio\, Northern Illinois Public Radio\, Naperville Magazine\, and more. \nASHLEY & SIMPSON \nComprised of Jennifer Ashley and Joel Simpson\, Ashley & Simpson are quickly becoming folk scene favorites.
