CONVERSATIONS WITH EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE AT MAXIM'S MARCH 14TH
The glory years of Chicago nightclubs will be the topic when legendary
songbird Audrey Morris and Rick ("Dr. Night Life") Kogan get together
for "Conversations with Extraordinary People" at MAXIM'S at The Nancy
Goldberg International Center (24 East Goethe Street, Chicago, IL -
Tickets: 312-742-1748) in Wednesday March 14th at 6:00 pm.
A self-described "saloon singer" Audrey is considered
an icon by CCP (Chicago Cabaret Professionals - http://www.chicagocabaret.org/
) who honored her with its Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. Her
career reads like a history of Chicago cabaret. She's performed at
such 20th century bistros as Mister Kelly's, the Embers, Yvette, and
Toulouse, as well as Maxim's. Following her conversation with Rick
Kogan, Audrey will sing her favorite songs to recreate a 1960s evening
at Maxim's.
The host of "Conversations with Extraordinary People,"
Rick Kogan is senior writer and "Sidewalks" columnist for the Chicago
Tribune Sunday Magazine. He also hosts WGN's "Sunday Papers with Rick
Kogan" (6:30 - 9:00 am Sundays, 720 am). A newspaper man since age
16 when he wrote his first story for the Chicago Sun-Times, he was
a reporter for the Chicago Daily News where he authored a weekly nightlife
column, later collected in a book, Dr. Night Life's Chicago. He joined
the Chicago Tribune in the 1980s where he was TV critic for five years
and later the editor of Tempo, the Tribune's daily feature section.
A captivating storyteller, Kogan has written ten books, including
two published in 2006: A Chicago Tavern: A Goat, A Curse and the American
Dream and Sidewalks: Portraits of Chicago. Both books will be available
for sale and signing.
"Conversations with Extraordinary People" is a regular
program series presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs
and sponsored by The Whitehall Hotel and Fornetto Mei Restaurant.
