    Jenkison’s “living theatre” emphasizes education with audience participation to enhance the learning and entertainment experience. 


    J. Robert Oppenheimer was the father of the atomic bomb; he was also a tragic character. In 1954, his security clearance was stripped from him by the U.S. government. Although history has been generous to Oppenheimer and hard on his critics, there is no doubt that Oppenheimer contributed to his own fall. Clay Jenkinson brings the character of the man to life through a gripping first-person portrayal of Oppenheimer –no prior graduate degree in quantum physics required!


    Jenkinson tells the story of Los Alamos, of the dramatic test of the “gadget” in the New Mexican desert, the decision to use the bomb without warning on Japanese cities with a large civilian population, and the aftermath. Oppenheimer believed that humankind must evolve quickly to prevent a subsequent use of atomic weaponry in war, because he believed it would bring about the end of human civilization. In the end, Oppenheimer was rehabilitated by the Kennedy-Johnson Administration. After Edward. R Murrow interviewed him on the CBS program “See it Now,” Oppenheimer became a kind of cult figure for his melancholy, yet whimsical, genius.

    Join Bill and The ATTOBE Quintet Band for a night of classic hits and jazz in our intimate on stage music lounge seating with dance floor and full bar set up.


    Bill Pantle has been entertaining crowds for close to 10 years now in Chicagoland's premiere Frank Sinatra Tribute act - "A Tribute To Old Blue Eyes". Bill's baritone voice and quick wit make you feel like you are in front of The Voice himself - Frank Sinatra.


    The show covers many of the classic Sinatra selections from The Great American Songbook and other popular Sinatra hits! This tribute is a recreation of the classic variety show format or the infamous live recordings Mr. Sinatra was so famous for. 


    Bill's music and sound of the big band era are worth hearing and created by some of Chicago's most talented Jazz & Big Band musicians.
