Help Non-Profit That Helps AEAR

 

Beginning Friday January 27 6:30 p.m. Encore Theater is having a dinner theater production called John and Jen. (See web site for show times.)  It is to benefit the Libertyville Civic Center Foundation, a non-profit organization near and dear to my heart. The Civic Center is where all our meetings and event/dinners are for Animal Education and Rescue and I was on their board at one time. They provide a great service for non-profits in the Libertyville area by providing room rental and a very reduced fee for non-profits.

Here's more info about it: http://www.encoretheatre.net/index.html
A truly original musical that takes a look at the complexities of relationships between brothers and sisters and parents and children, set against the background of a changing America between 1950 and 1990, JOHN & JEN is a gem of a show brimming with intelligence, wit and beautiful melodies. This is the story of Jen and her relationships with the two Johns of her life: her younger brother, who was killed in Vietnam, and his namesake, her son who is trying to find his way in a confusing world. With a cast of only two people, JOHN & JEN is a tour-de-force for two actors who take them from childhood, through adolescence and beyond. A chamber musical, beautifully scored for piano, cello and percussion, JOHN & JEN is a musical about connections, commitments and the healing of the human heart.
