Illinois is Home to the Most ‘Players’ in the Dating Game
If you think the dating world kind of sucks in Illinois, you're not wrong. Turns out Illinois is one of the worst states to date it because we are packed with 'players.'. When I think back to the first time in my life I heard the word players associated with dating, I'm brought to 1998-ish. I was in 4th grade and spent most of my free time watching MTV and quickly changing the channel when my parents came into the basement.

DANCE REVIEW: South Chicago Dance Theatre at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival
Last week marked the close of the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival for 2024. It seems fitting that one of the last performances I saw this summer, on my last night at the Pillow, was South Chicago Dance Theatre, an up-and-coming company founded in 2017 by School of Jacob’s Pillow alum Kia S. Smith. Fitting because, all summer, when alumni of Jacob’s Pillow came back to the Pillow as members of dance companies, the Pillow noted it in the program. And, over the course of this summer, a lot of successful alumni returned, working in dance companies from all over this country and beyond. The success of these alums is just another reminder of some of the impact the Pillow has on the dance community.
