Pinewood Derby!

Am I the only former Cub Scout with fond memories of the Pinewood Derby races? Yeah, I didn't think so. Artist John Wanzel has organized an exhibition in honor of the Derby's 50th anniversary, featuring cars made by 55 local artists. Fast Track: Race Day 2003 is at the 1/Quarterly space in Wicker Park through January 17.

Redmoon Winter Pageant

Redmoon Theatre's annual Winter Pageant opens tonight in their new space at 1463 W. Hubbard. The pageant is a unique work of spectacle theatre, involving art installations and scenic contributions from several community groups; the cast of 60 includes many community members as well, with only 15 professional actors. This year's pageant has a Western theme, following a cowboy named Old Pete as he searches for his missing horse. Tomorrow's benefit performance features a backstage picnic with the artists. For ticket information, call 312-850-8440 x111, or order online.
