“I’ve got to be the first person ever to move to LA, then come back to Chicago for the winter,” muses Aaron Freeman, creator of the famous “Council Wars” routine. Freeman is back in town for the debut of his new show, Do the White Thing, which is about two guys stuck on a street corner because neither one can get a cab. Directed by Nate Herman, it also features Rob Kolson, the “financial satirist” who most recently appeared with Freeman as point-counterpoint commentator on WFLD TV’s evening news. The show plays at 9 PM Friday and Saturday at the Organic Lab Theater, 3319 N. Clark. Tickets are $8 for previews, which run through Sunday; $10 thereafter. Call 327-5588.

For years the intersection of Broadway and Belmont has seemed to attract an unusual number of lost and confused young people. Every year Teen Living Programs, which is housed on that busy corner, helps more than 3,500 kids who live on the streets. They are offered outreach programs ranging from emergency shelter to independent-living classes. The group, formerly Transitional Living Programs, hosts an open house in its newly remodeled facilities at 3179 N. Broadway from 4 to 8 today. Jim Edgar, State Representative John Cullerton, and Alderman Bernie Hansen will be present. It’s free. Call 883-0025.
