The Wilmette Theatre is located at 1122 Central Ave. in Wilmette.

The Cupid Players presents Cupid Has A Heart On Friday, February 13th.

A film-noir story about a wealthy playboy who owns the city’s hottest nightclub, Dark Streets boasts an original score featuring blues legend B.B. King.  To help get the word out, direction will be promoting Dark Streets through retail distribution, and good old fashioned hand-to-hand distribution at several events throughout the city including Lonnie Brooks and Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings.

Dark Streets opens in December.
