Black Ensemble Theater Presents For Lovers Only (And Those Who Love Themselves)

Katrina_Lyle.jpgStill looking for something special to do for Valentine's Day? The Black Ensemble Theater presents For Lovers Only (And For People Who Love Themselves). This special, one night tribute to love will be a must see event hosted by Ms. Dawn. The most famous love songs of all time such as Al Green's "Love & Happiness", Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness", and Etta James' "At Last" will be performed by the Black Ensemble Theater Performers. As Jackie Taylor states, "There's nothing more fitting than to spend Valentine's Day celebrating some of the best love songs of all time."

The Black Ensemble Theater's second floor theater will be transformed into a "Love Club" complete with champagne, dessert, and a four-piece band. This event will take place on February 14 at the Black Ensemble Theater Cultural Center, 2250 N. Clark St. Tickets will be $125 per couple and $65 for single tickets. Tickets may be purchased at Ticketmaster or by calling 773-769-4451. Reserve your tickets today!
