  • Cabaret Fundraiser

    24 February 9:00 pm

    image: WEBLIPPRINT.JPG
    Venture into the dark strasse and even darker cafes of Weimar Berlin with us.
    Somewhere through the haze of tobacco, a sultry voice calls to you, its gender erased by wine and liquor, its message of heartbreak and heat warms your cheeks as the champagnes cools your lustig thirst.

    And you can only wish the caress of the ivory keys was for you.


    Elizabeth Doyle seduces you with German & French sets and gets a little bawdy.

    Ticket includes one glass of sparkling Sekt and appetizers.
    $30 each or 2 for $50
  • Fassade Fundraising

    From Hidden Gem...
    This year the DANK Haus will completely remodel its first floor facade. This large scale endeavor will improve the appearance of the building, the organization, and the neighborhood, and ensure that the DANK Haus remains the "jewel of Western" for generations to come. The new facade will cost approximately $367,000 and be partially funded by a City of Chicago SBIF grant.
    ... to Jewel of Western
    We are excited to watch the transformation occur, and ask that you be part of the DANK Haus legacy and help us to complete this project with your tax-deductible contribution, which can be made out to DANK Haus, 4740 N Western Ave Chicago IL 60625.
    DANK Haus is a registered 501(c)3 dependent on your support to remain a vital and thriving organization

    DANK Haus teams up with VOX 3 Collective to present Erin Go Berlin: Irish Songs with German Influences.

    Featuring nearly a dozen vocalists and a trio of piano, cello and violin, we can't think of a better way to mix in some schnitzel with the shamrocks this St. Patrick's Day!

    Did you know Beethoven created settings for over 60 Irish folk songs? You'll hear a selection of those along with works by Bruell, Schumann and a trio of French and British composers.

    Admission is $5; tickets are available online through Brown Paper Tickets.

    Refreshments available. We may even be able to rustle up some Irish beer..

  • German Cinema Now - Grave Decisions

    24 Feb 7:30 p.m.

    image: Grave-Decisions.jpg
    Contemporary German films with English subtitles. FREE admission!

    An 11 year-old boy's attempts to overcome guilt related to his mother's death may not seem like ripe comedic territory at first glance--but co-writer-director Marcus H. Rosenmueller makes it work in this hilarious, touching and distinctly Bavarian tale.

    Sebastian, the boy in question, sees life as one big adventure, yet believes he is responsible for his mother's death because she died while giving birth to him. Sebastian has an array of other terrible "misdeeds" to answer for, and in a naive attempt to evade the eternal blaze, he tries with all his might to cleanse himself of his sins.

    Sebastian's overzealousness, however, does not reap the success he had hoped. Finally, he believes he has received a sign from his mother: he is to find a new wife for his father.

    Popcorn $2, Pretzel $2, Landjaeger $3. Cash bar.
    FREE parking at MB Financial Bank at Western and Gunnison.
