I got the following information from Fran at the Orland Park Park District who publishes a regular theater newsletter which I have abstracted here. I use the term abstracted lightly here; this is nearly here entire newsletter. Fran, if this use is not O.K. just email me at ThePeterFilesBlog AT Gmail Dot Com and I will pull this post forthwith.

If you find this information useful, I suggest that you subscribe directly to Fran's newsletter by writing to rpintern@orland-park.il.us attention FRAN and asking to subscribe. MANY KUDOS to FRAN for this difficult undertaking.

Here's from her latest newletter:
