Velo Theatre presents this performance from May 2-9. Laden with letters and packages to deliver, a postman sets out on his bicycle. Opening one of the packages, he discovers a fantastic and magical world inside. Purchase tickets at (312) 494-9509 or chicagohumanities.org.

Kids learn why we celebrate this special day, listen to a story and do some fun crafts. Chips and salsa, too!

Seven actors share one tiny platform, just 3-by-7 feet of space, and create an original Superman tale. Set in a fictional 2050 Metropolis, the show's cast members use only their bodies and voices to create every prop, scene, sound effect, and character in a battle between Superman and Lex Luther. Performances are 10;30 a.m. May 2, 7 p.m. May 3, 12:30 p.m. May 4, 1:30 p.m. May 5 and 5 p.m. May 6. Purchase tickets at (312) 494-9509 or chicagohumanities.org.
