The League of Chicago Theatres and Hot Tix present a lunch-hour preview of the fall theatre season at the 72 E. Randolph Hot Tix location. Highlights include performances by the House Theatre of Chicago and Porchlight Music Theatre, and the chance to meet cast members from Wicked and Taylor Miller, star of Victory Gardens' Memory House (and Nina Cortlandt from All My Children! Yay Nina!) Drawings will be held for free theatre tickets, including tickets for this evening's performance of Wicked, and you'll get a free gift with any tickets purchased from the Hot Tix booth. Don't worry about lunch—they'll be serving hot dogs, pizza from Marcello's, and Eli's cheesecake. Noon-1pm, 72 E. Randolph.
