We're partnering with Spotlight Performance Academy and South of Chi Productions this summer for a week-long performing arts camp. Learn acting, singing for musical theatre and improv!
"WISH" September 16 & 17 Wish is Paul Lewis' musical adaptation of the award winning, best selling book by Barbara O'Conner. Eleven-year-old Charlie Reese has been making the same secret wish every day — to have a family in which everyone looks after each other. But her mom barely gets out of bed in the morning and her dad is in jail, and when Charlie is sent to live with distant relatives in a small Appalachian town, her dream seems even more out of reach. Yet soon, with the help of a big-hearted aunt and uncle, an uncommonly loyal neighbor boy and a stray dog who steals her heart, Charlie is in serious danger of discovering that wishes may come true in the most improbable places. Tickets on sale soon.
