"Originally operating out of 3030, a renovated Pentacostal church in Humboldt Park, the Elastic Arts Foundation produced over 500 live music, reading, art, theatre, and multimedia events between 2001 and 2005. In four years, 3030 earned a reputation as one of the finest viewing and listening rooms for independent and cutting edge music and performance, in Chicago and beyond. As of spring 2006, EAF has relocated to ELASTIC, a sound and vision gallery located at 2830 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Logan Square. Our mission remains clear - to foster the local community of art and culture through developing and producing creative, non-commercial performances and art events. Aesthetics before markets."

"I've been going there for 30 years. Dr Tandeter is a very personable person. He listens to your concerns and goes from there. A few years ago I injured my back. I went to a hospital, they ran all kinds of tests except the one which would have found the problem. Dr Tandeter hit it right on the button." Review by: Beverly B.

"Created by the Irving Park District, Avondale Park takes its name from the surrounding Avondale neighborhood. An early racially-integrated suburb, Avondale became part of Chicago when the city annexed the Town of Jefferson in 1889. European immigrants began settling there and residential construction boomed in the 1920s. In 1929, the Irving Park District board responded by making plans for the five-acre park. Although it took several years to acquire all of the land, improvements began immediately. By the end of the year, the park district had constructed an attractive brick field house designed by Clarence Hatzfeld. Lawn, shrubbery, trees, and flowers soon graced Avondale Park's landscape. By the early 1930s, the park included a play field, separate boys' and girls' playgrounds, a wading pool, a sand box, and tennis courts."

"Athletic Field Park became part of the Chicago Park District in 1934, when the Great Depression necessitated the consolidation of the city's 22 independent park agencies. In the early 1960s, the park district converted the park's locker and game room into a ceramics studio. In 1969, further improvements were made to the ceramics building, including the installation of additional kilns. Today, ceramics classes remain one of Athletic Field Park's most popular programs."

"Shortly after the Chicago Park District took over Brands Park in 1934, Chicago architect Clarence Hatzfeld enlarged and remodeled the field house to include club, game, and shower rooms; a workshop; and a community hall. In the mid-1970s, the park district demolished the old brick structure, which had deteriorated significantly. In its place, the district built a new, larger field house, redesigning the surrounding landscape. More recent improvements included rehabilitating the playground, tennis courts, and plantings."

PROP THTR has produced over 80 productions in its history, over 40 of them being world premieres. The theater's focus is on original or newly adapted works taken from literature. PROP THTR has adapted the works of Algren, Hecht, Burroughs, Brecht, Bukowski, Bradbury, Dick, Nin, Nabokov, Dostoyevsky and Salinger to name a few. Since 1998 Prop Thtr has been producing a new plays festival.

Helping to bring their work to the next level and hopefully beyond."
