Do you cry yourself to sleep at night because you never got your big break in show business? If so, here’s your chance to become the fantasy of every teenybopper. The CW’s “One Tree Hill” has an open casting call coming to Chicago.

Head on over to 11 N. State St. on Jan. 19. The call begins at 2 p.m. Get there early because you probably weren’t the only one with salty show business tears on your pillow.

White people talking about racism? Is that acceptable in our politically correct country? The cast of “White People” playing at the The Gift Theatre sure think so.

Shows are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The production runs through March 1. Tickets range from $15 to $25.

Do you run your life by the Mayan calendar and believe the world will end in 2012? One woman is faced with how she will spend her last day on Earth as an asteroid plummets to destroy it in “How I Spent My Last Night on Earth”.

The show plays at the Storefront Theater and tickets are $15 to $22. As times vary day by day, check out the Web site.
