Take a trip back to the post-war era in England with the North Riverside Players’ upcoming production of “See How They Run.” The troupe will play six shows on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons from April 24-26 and May 1-3 at the North Riverside Village Commons, 2401 S. Des Plaines Ave. Tickets are available for purchase online. “The audience doesn’t need to think. They just go and enjoy and laugh at the zaniness that happens,” director Sam Buonomo told the Landmark. “Very often in life, we get all keyed up with a lot of things in our lives. See RUN on page 12

A new, locally owned bar and grill could open north of Eight Corners if village officials approve the development. Dubbed the Eight Corners Restaurant, the proposal would bring contemporary dining with a rooftop deck to 3415 Maple Ave., Community Development Director Libby Popovic told the Landmark. “It’s going to be a bar and grill restaurant for families to be able to get together and enjoy the area,” she said. “From the rooftop deck, it looks like you should be able to see into the city. For [the owners], it was really important to have something that brings families together but also is aesthetically pleasing.” Trustees are set to discuss requested variations from village code for the proposal at their April 13 committee of the whole meeting and are expected to put it up for a vote at their regular meeting two weeks later.
