Live Filming of 'Hollywood and Ivy' at Dominican University

Dominican University alum Brigham Avery will bring his Marquee Sports Network series, Hollywood and Ivy, to his alma mater on May 21 for a special on-campus filming of a new episode featuring Miguel Esparza, the Spanish language play-by-play announcer for the Chicago Cubs, Bulls and Blackhawks.

The event, part of Dominican’s 125th anniversary celebration, will give audience members a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the Chicago Cubs-themed celebrity interview show while spotlighting the professional success and achievements of Dominican alumnae/i.

The show will be filmed in front of a live audience inside the Lund Auditorium in Dominican University’s Performing Arts Center, 7900 W. Division St. in River Forest. The community is invited to attend.
 
Centered around a love for all things Cubs, Hollywood and Ivy features unassuming conversations between Avery and celebrity Cubs fans. Cubs culture, memories of Wrigley Field, and the current season’s ups and downs for the North Siders mix with topics about show business and Chicago.

Past guests have included Hollywood actors Joe Mantegna (who also serves as co-executive producer of the show), Gary Sinise, Bob Odenkirk, Bonnie Hunt, and the late George Wendt, and musician Billy Corgan, among other notable names.
