James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts — Attraction in Grayslake

Wow I reviewed this place 2 years ago and what a difference it made! The female bartender that took my order was impatient rude and ignored me when I went to pick up my food. I explained to her that I was buying it for several people and she did not inform me that purchasing 3 appetizers for 1295 meant that day were going to cut all the appetizers by 50 to 60%. When I arrived to pick up my food I asked to make sure I had enough napkins and forks and what not for my students and she explained she put everything in there for us. When I arrived to school to find out that instead of 3 orders of The appetizers I literally only received 3 mozzarella sticks 3 Buffalo wings and 3 breaded Buffalo wings for $13! And she put the 3 napkins in the bag for all my students and myself to eat with!! So for $25 I got 3 mozzarella sticks 3 breaded Buffalo wings 3 Buffalo style wings and a bowl of soup, Did I mention that cost $25 I had to deal with the rudest young female bartender? Super disappointed and I am working 5 minutes from their location and will probably never return. I will however, let all the professors & my students from All campuses know in the entire college to avoid this place from now on since this experience on Friday of last week. Rude, didn't inform me my order was going to be cut by 67% which would NEVER feed more than 2 people & let's not forget the generous 3 napkins for me & all my students! Thanks honey, you just lost a lot of new & return buisness...

November 10th 2024, first time attending a CLC play and facility. I was very impressed with the studio theater facility. There is not one bad seat in the house. It is extremely professionally laid out with lighting and sound as well as cat walks. I knew by the title of the play,”The play that goes wrong“ that is was going to be a comedy. What was wrong, was the entire production. I believe that the blame should really go to the Director of the play. They completely misread how to produce and Direct this play. It reminded me of plays, we did in first year high school hamming everything up since, we had no idea what we were doing. The lead actor with Shakespeare experience, acting managing, and directing plays should have known better. All of the physical gags were anticipated by the actors. There were times we could not understand what they were saying, because of poor pronunciation and speaking way too fast. The only actor that actually was really funny and honest was the stagehand who filled in for the actor that was supposedly knocked out in the play. I hope to return to see other productions and hope for the best! In case you are interested in this source, I was a member of Equity, Screen actors Guild, and, American Federation of...

On 2/24/23 We saw Tab Benoit (blues) there a full house seating, sound were very good and would have gave it a 5 star rating except the concession stand was not prepared. The ladies were very nice and I'm sure it wasn't on them. Nothing was cold, beer, pop, wine and water and no ice. Looking behind the counter it appeared that they only has a residential refrigerator. You think that they would had coolers with refreshments on ice. They lost Hundreds of dollars by not being prepared. I hope that they will have more concerts even if they are top...
