 The Apollo Theate is located at 2540 N. Lincoln Avenue in Chicago.  There is ample street parking and easy access by public transportation.  ALL DRUMMOND STUDENTS, SIBLINGS, STAFF, FAMILIES and FRIENDS are invited.  School’s out –let’s giggle!

In order to secure this price and seating, interested parties need to e-mail or call by 23 Nov 09 and submit their money by 01 Dec 09.  Only 50 tickets are available for our group so tickets are on a first come, first reserved/paid basis.

This show is highly recommended and very popular.  A children’s book based on the show is being published this month.  More information about the show is available at www.emeraldcitytheatre.com.

Please e-mail  Alyse Goodwin at , or call (773)531-2225 if you would like to join us on 17 Dec 09 @10:15 am for this winterbreak/non-school sponsored outing.
