St Vincent At The Chicago Theatre And More Of The Best Things To Do In Chicago This Weekend

Both the Chicago SketchFest and Ex Fest run all weekend, and there are plenty of other events as well. Here’s some of what we recommend:

Fri 1/12: St. Vincent aka Annie Clark plays from her new album Masseducation at the Chicago Theatre (175 N. State). It’s a goodie: The Reader‘s Luca Cimarusti wrote, “The comparative simplicity of the music sets a perfect backdrop for [Clark’s] beautiful voice and off-kilter melodies.” 8 PM, sold out

Sun 1/14: Emma Draves’s new work Listen . . . explores “physical fracturing caused by a slipping sense of place and changing identity.” This event takes place at High Concept Laboratories (2233 S. Throop). 4 PM, $10
