Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a Wall Street yuppie, obsessed with success, status, and style, with a stunning fiancée (Reese Witherspoon). He is also a psychotic killer who rapes, murders, and dismembers both strangers and acquaintances without provocation or purpose. Based on the controversial Bret Easton Ellis novel, the film offers a sharp satire to the dark side of capitalism and ’80s yuppie culture while setting forth a vision that is both terrifying and chilling.
Every Wednesday night The Back Door hosts Open Stage which gives entertainers new and polished a chance at showcasing their craft on our new patio! Just message us on social media, or contact us on our website to get more info about signing up. WALK-UPS ARE ALSO WELCOME!!

The Bloomington Chamber Singers 2022–23 season continues at 3 pm Sunday, December 11, at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, 100 N. State Road 46, Bloomington. The afternoon program features the sopranos and altos of BCS singing Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols with harp accompaniment, and the BCS tenors and basses answering with Conrad Susa’s Carols and Lullabies: Christmas in the Southwest for chorus, harp, guitar, and marimba. The concert will conclude with On Christmas Night by Bob Chilcott, a musical celebration of the Christmas story. Conducting duties will be shared by Music Director Gerald Sousa and Assistant Conductor Caio Lopes.
One of Britten’s most popular works, A Ceremony of Carols is based on 14th-century Middle English lyrics and carols, as well as seasonal poetry written in the 16th century. It draws on familiar themes: the baby, Jesu; Mary, the rose of virtue who bore him; and the “happy fault” of Adam’s sin that led to Christmas joy. Britten composed the work in 1942 while crossing from the United States to Britain aboard a cargo ship.
Conrad Susa wrote Carols and Lullabies in 1992 as a companion piece to Britten’s work. It is based on a collection of traditional Spanish carols popular in the southwestern United States, blended with the image of a piñata party for the baby Jesus, adding guitar and marimba to Britten’s harp.
On Christmas Night is made up of eight carol settings that follow the sequence of the Christmas story—from the fall of Adam, through the promise of a child’s coming and the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, to the birth of the baby Jesus. Chilcott incorporated the texts and melodies of several traditional carols into his settings.
Jam Sesh is a group of local Middle School musicians who write and perform their own songs. The House Band (aka Big Hair) includes drums, bass, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitar. Different singers take turns fronting the band with their original creations. JamSesh also pays homage to their musical heroes by covering the classics. Mr. Matt is not a licensed Music Teacher, but he believes in finding opportunities for this generation to experience music.

For the holiday season, this month’s book will be: It’s a Whole Spiel, a collection of short stories edited by Katherine Locke and Laura Silverman
A Jewish boy falls in love with a fellow counselor at summer camp. A group of Jewish friends take the trip of a lifetime. A girl meets her new boyfriend’s family over Shabbat dinner. Two best friends put their friendship to the test over the course of a Friday night. A Jewish girl feels pressure to date the only Jewish boy in her grade. Hilarious pranks and disaster ensue at a crush’s Hanukkah party.
From stories of confronting their relationships with Judaism to rom-coms with a side of bagels and lox, It’s a Whole Spiel features one story after another that says yes, we are Jewish, but we are also queer, and disabled, and creative, and political, and adventurous, and anything we want to be. You will fall in love with this insightful, funny, and romantic Jewish anthology from a collection of diverse Jewish authors.
