Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson has signed an executive order establishing fixed protesting hours outside of the ICE processing facility in the west suburb.

But this month, McGovern is on stage in Chicago in “Ava: The Secret Conversations,” in which McGovern plays Ava Gardner, the mega star from Hollywood’s Golden Age. WBEZ arts reporter Courtney Kueppers recently caught up with McGovern backstage.
