Client news

Chicago Opera Theater's Opera for All program brings professional performers into K-12 Chicago classrooms for a rigorous opera experience tied to the Theater's premier performance of the season. This year, Chicago Opera Theater is debuting a new opera called A Flowering Tree. Each class learned about the opera itself, as well as musical concepts, culture and the arts and the history and context of opera as an art form. Each class has a culminating performance -- with student responsibilities including writing, performing, directing, and set and costume design.

One high school class recently performed Pirates of Penzance, one of Leah's favorite operas as a kid. We've had the pleasure of working with the Opera for All program to design an evaluation that helped to better define the program's goals and outcomes.

IG staff celebrates July birthdays

We had a fun time celebrating Susan and Liz’s birthdays at lunch today. At the request of the birthday girls, we enjoyed Panera sandwiches, soup, salad and chips and finished off our celebration with some cookies and birthday apple pie. Yum! We brainstormed on costume ideas for the next Harry Potter book release and laughed about some recent sketches on the Daily Show. We always have a fun time at these celebrations and it was a great break from a busy week in the office.
