Seeking Info on Holiday Shows

The Emerald City Theater group which performs at the Apollo Theater in Lincoln park always has great shows for kids, not just at Christmas time. Enjoy!

What do you mean by holiday shows - do you mean craft fairs?

This is not a church, but I thought I'd pass it along if you were interested.

Karen,
Schaumburg Prairie Center is doing the Nutcracker and you can get tickets online.
Always a very cute show
If you're looking for something else, try googling church holiday programs and see what comes up.

My church, Community Christian Church will be putting on Let It Be Christmas, The Christmas story according to the gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, Paul, George, and Ringo. The show tells the Christmas story through Beatles songs. Sounds a bit different, I admit. But I saw the show last year and it was so fabulous, I went again! My kids (all teenagers) saw it with me and also went again to see it with their friends. That really says something!!! The website is www.communitychristian.org I do not know if there is info on the site yet, but there will be soon.

On a not direct holiday note, there will be an improv show (family friendly) at that church on 11/21 at 8:00. The show is always fun and there is no price to get in, only a donation if you choose. The funds collected will go towards purchasing Christmas gifts for our Christmas Gift Mart in East Aurora and Joliet. The Gift Mart allows parents to purchase new toys for $2 or $3 for their children that may not be receiving gifts otherwise. The money collected goes right back to the Brady/Bardwell schools (and a school in Joliet) to use for classroom supplies and the like. The improv shows are always great if I do say so myself (I'm in them). So even though the improv show is not holiday themed, it is for the holiday. I promise your family enjoy yourselves at these outings.
