Mike Vecchione is a New York City-based comedian, who has been performing in the city and across the country for more than 20 years. A former special education teacher, Mike got his start in Philadelphia, before moving to the Big Apple, where he has gained the respect of the industry, comedy clubs and his fellow comedians. Mike has a sarcastic, joke-heavy style combined with sharp writing and an understated delivery that leaves audiences in stitches. In his most recent one hour special, “The Attractives,” directed & produced by friend and fellow comic, Nate Bargatze, Mike talks about everything from relationships to running with the bulls. Because “The Attractives” was shot in Nashville, Tennessee, it sets Mike’s unique New York City style against a fun-loving, southern audience, making it one of the premiere comedy specials of 2023.

From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot. The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling. The Wild Robot stars Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o (Us, The Black Panther franchise) as robot Roz; Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) as fox Fink; Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, Best in Show) as opossum Pinktail; Oscar® nominee Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually) as goose Longneck; Kit Connor (Heartstopper, Rocketman) as gosling Brightbill and Oscar® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once, this summer’s The Fall Guy) as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island. The film also features the voice talents of Emmy winning pop-culture icon Mark Hamill (Star Wars franchise, The Boy and the Heron), Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows, The SpongeBob Movie franchise) and Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Ving Rhames (Mission: Impossible films, Pulp Fiction). A powerful story about the discovery of self, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things, The Wild Robot is written and directed by three-time Oscar® nominee Chris Sanders—the writer-director of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch—and is produced by Jeff Hermann (DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby 2: Family Business; co-producer, Kung Fu Panda franchise).

Fire. Forest. Story. That’s the heart of Tale Blazing, an event created by art project MDWST Fable in collaboration with The Hundredth Hill Artist Retreat and SoulCraft Bloomington.
Tale Blazing harnesses the power of tales told in one of the most ancient human settings, by a fire in the nighttime woods. Around five fires, listeners will gather to hear a storyteller. Storytellers will tell a fable–however they interpret that prompt.
After the stories, everyone will gather to share their experiences or simply enjoy the evening. If folks feel moved, they can stop by the story booth and spin their own yarns using prompts based on the storytellers’ tales, which will be represented by five different symbolic cards. These tales will become a short fable of our own to enjoy and share.

Described as “anything but ordinary” by the Chicago Tribune, MAEVE & QUINN is the duo of Alaskan twin sisters Maris and Bryce O’Tierney, multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and composers. Maeve & Quinn’s music fuses alt rock, pop, and folk influences, distinguished by lyrical vocal harmonies and dynamic instrumental interplay. Classically trained (voice, guitar, violin, piano), the duo also draws on improvisation in their practice.
Maeve & Quinn’s collaboration as twin sisters is conversational and fluid between past and present. They bring together lyrics and melodies from their respective experiences for songs of layered perspective, addressing themes of memory, truth, and relationship. Maeve & Quinn’s music has a feeling of landscape, and draws from multiple points of origin: where the sisters grew up (Alaska), their country of heritage (Ireland), and present home (Chicago).
Maeve & Quinn have performed their music and poetry in concert with the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and the Poetry Foundation; premiered their symphonic compositions with the Chicago Composers Orchestra and Anchorage Symphony Orchestra; and collaborated with dancers for film works, most recently with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
Following their 2018 release something overheard, something overhead, their EP star-crossed (August 2021) was featured on Bandcamp’s ‘New & Notable’ releases. Their first full-length LP, Another Door, released September 2023.
