Pride Arts adds a fun and funny opera Grindr the Opera to bring an end to a very exciting 2018-19 season. Grindr by Erik Ransom recently won an Offie Award in London, the equivalent of the Off-Broadway scene. Grindr joins Afterglow which has been running in the Buena theater since March and Desire in a Tinier House, a new play by Ryan Oliveira in the Pride repertory. Afterglow and Grindr will run together until the end of July, and it is possible to see both on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. For details call 773-332-0568 or visit www.pridefilmsandplays.com.

I am currently the Communications Director for the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters which represents 33,000 union men and women in three states who swing a hammer for a living. I publsih a magazine, a couple of email newsletters and two websites. I also do videos, webinars, advertisng and public relations.
As an avid cyclist I ride a three-wheeled trike 5 to 6 days per week 52 weeks per year which adds up to between 5,000 and 6,000 miles year-round, including daily commutes along Chicago's lakefront ... polar vortexes included. I have never missed a day of work because of Chicago's weather.
I am an activist who serves humanitarian and political causes:
To advocate for the Sudanese in Illinois who have fled Southern Sudan and Darfur is one of my most rewarding experiences. I work with my son Sean on Sudan presentations at churches and community groups with my Sudanese friends on the problems facing them in Darfur, South Sudan and the United States.
My son Sean and I work together on the Abolition Institute which seeks to end slavery in the west African nation of Mauritania.
My photography chronicles Chicago's lakefront through my daily rides. My photo website is http://genetenner.com/ I just self-published my first photo-book on the history of my Chicago neighborhood: Sweet Home Buena Park.
I live about one-half mile north of Wrigley Field in the Buena Park neighborhood.
