The St. Charles Arts Council, in partnership with the St. Charles Park District, continues ArtsFest St. Charles through Sunday, Sept. 20. The event features terrific arts programming going on all over the city, including live theater/spoken word performances, for which the city is well-known.
St. Charles native Russ Devereaux will present "No Permission Needed," street performance art, at 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. Devereaux will perform in front on the Municipal Center in the heart of historic downtown St. Charles, at the intersection of Route 64/Main Street and Riverside Avenue. Beginning at 6 p.m. he will display his imagination through expertly crafted verse, rhythmically appealing rhyme, and a never-ending stream of energy that will invigorate and leave you with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation for humanity. All are welcome."
Steel Beam Theatre presents their production of "Good People," a story about a down on her luck woman in urban Boston who tries to reunite with an old high school fling who is now a doctor and living the kind of life she wishes for. Comic, but richly human, this Pulitzer Prize-winning author creates real people making their way in the real world. ArtsFest performances will be Sept. 18-20.

Fox Valley Repertory continues its 2015 Mainstage Theater series with their production of "Maybe Baby, It's You" From the very first kiss to the not-so-golden years of marriage, "Maybe Baby" is a wild ride through the search for that most elusive relationship - the soul mate. What starts as a laundry list of must-have soul mate qualities swiftly dwindles down to a desperate plea of finding someone who is simply "warm and breathing" in this comical quest for compatibility. From "Mr. Right" who hilariously becomes "Mr. Wrong" the minute he steps onto the dance floor, to an elderly couple who considers remarriage at their grandson's soccer game, this series of eleven vignettes is sure to warm the hearts of lovers everywhere. ArtsFest performances will be Sept. 19-20. For tickets and more information, visit www.foxvalleyrep.org/MaybeBaby/.
