MAIN EVENT

‘Gloria' at Goodman

The barbs often lobbed at the media are not usually as funny nor as sharp as in “Gloria,” an off-Broadway darling that was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for drama. The production takes on the ruthless, competitive culture of today's media, a satirical roast told through the story of a group of 20-somethings climbing the ladder at an esteemed New York magazine who suddenly find themselves grappling with a massive news story and competing to make it their own. Times vary Saturday through Feb. 19, Albert Ivar Goodman Theatre, 170 N. Dearborn St., $20-$85; www.goodmantheatre.org

CHICAGO MUSIC

Expect something good with BBNG

In the case of BadBadNotGood's music, unexpectedness is a good thing. The unclassifiable quartet is a classically trained crew, proficient enough to apply the improvisational, kinetic qualities of jazz to other musical styles in savvy, exciting ways. It has collaborations with artists from Bootsy Collins to Frank Ocean to Ghostface Killah to prove it. And while BBNG is unpredictably versatile, you can expect one thing for sure: a groovy good time. 9 p.m. Sunday, Lincoln Hall, 2424 N. Lincoln Ave.; $15;www.lh-st.com

ROSEMONT FAMILY FUN

Blackhawks

(and you) on ice

The Blackhawks have been the best part about Chicago winters for the past few years, giving us something to love when the world gets cold. This weekend, the forecast suggests the weather should be friendly enough to get out and see the Hawks in a different way, at the fifth annual Skate with the Greats event. Current Blackhawks favorite Duncan Keith and former star Tony Esposito will skate with fans and sign autographs, while other former Hawks players will be hanging around as well. Skates will be provided. A silent auction also will be offered, with proceeds benefiting local Ronald McDonald House charities. 2 p.m. Saturday, MB Financial Park, 5501 Park Place, Rosemont; $75 kids 12 and under, $125 adults; www.ronaldhousechicago.org

CHICAGO ART PROJECT

The other pillow talk

What do you say while you sleep? The answer is elusive; even when others catch your sleeping ramblings, they can only catch small snippets. To explore more about those words that go unheard in the night, artist Ashley Fargnoli recorded her own sleep talk and turned it into Sleeptalk, an experimental, multimedia art project featuring dancers, musical compositions and video. Fargnoli uses her revealing recordings to consider the mysteries of what happens to both our individual and collective consciousnesses during sleep. 7 p.m. Friday-Sunday, Links Hall at Constellation, 3111 N. Western Ave.; $10; www.linkshall.ticketfly.com
