]]> If you are a fan of NBC’s “The Voice,” then you must be a fan of Mark J.P. Hood. From the first time we saw his audition there was something earthy, youthful and magical in his performance and style. His voice soars and shakes a room. You cannot help but want to hear more.

Well, here is your chance. Mr. Hood is going back home. Not only to his hometown of Chicago but the Black Ensemble Theater where he honed a lot of his old soul style.

He will be performing at 7:30 p.m. January 17th at the Black Ensemble Theater in Chicago.

For Hood, The Ensemble Theater is more than just a homecoming. Fans may have watched him for weeks on “The Voice’s” ninth season, but Hood has theater in his bones, performing in many of the Ensembles shows and revues including, A Tribute to Etta James, Once Upon a People, It’s All Right To Have A Good Time: The Story of Curtis Mayfield, and many others.

And when “True Blood’s” Nelsan Ellis made his Chicago directorial debut with Hoo Doo Love, Hood was right there in production.

There is not a lot of detail about what type of show Hood will perform, but he was tweeting that there will be surprise guests. Maybe Pharrell? or better yet some other Chi-town talent. In case you missed it Chicago has been blowing up in the entertainment realm as of late with Jeremih and Chance the Rapper all shouting out the third largest city in the U.S.

Either way if Hood just brings his amazing voice the show is destined to draw crowds, amazing die-hard fans and win some new ones over by the end of the night.To purchase tickets click here.

And if you don’t believe us, just listen to a clip of Mark singing!

]]> 2015 The Voice finalist India Carney won’t forget where she came from. She will return to a role she created last summer, before her recent television success came into her life. Working with friends from LaGuardia School for the Performing Arts (the FAME school), who wrote the show and perform alongside her, she will star in a new musical titled Held Momentarily. Directed by her former Drama teacher, Harry Shifman, Held Momentarily recently added an additional performance and will play the New York Musical Theater Festival from July 20 to 27th.

Something’s up down below.

Trapped on a stalled subway car, six strangers discover it’s not just the train that’s stuck. A poignant musical comedy about making connections, living in the moment, and moving on in life. Oh, and one more thing: a woman just went into labor.

The complete cast of the show features Jordan Barrow, Ciaran Bowling, India Carney, Oliver Houser, Yael Rizowy, Geena Quintos and James Zebooker.India Carney
