Playing it cool at the theatre

DOUBLE YOUR DONATION $4,000 MATCH CHALLENGE 

Bruce ’70, ‘73 and Jeannie Breitweiser want to issue a special Birds Give Back challenge in memory of their friend John Stevens. They will match gifts to the Illinois Shakespeare Festival Fund, dollar-for-dollar, up to a total of $4,000 today during Birds Give Back. The funds will help support theatre upgrades to keep our Illinois Shakespeare Festival thriving!


Illinois Shakespeare Festival is raising funds to purchase 3 fans for the Ewing Theatre. This year during Birds Give Back, you can help us keep our fans cool on those evenings when the Central Illinois summer is a little steamy.

With your support, we can reach our goal of $5,000, which will allow us to cover all costs to purchase and install 3 Stellar 96 MAD7998 electrical fans.

The Illinois Shakespeare Festival has a commitment to our patrons. These fans will ensure proper air circulation throughout the seating area and prevent the accumulation of stagnant air, improving overall comfort for both the Festival’s audience and company.

The Illinois Shakespeare Festival is committed to continuous improvement to the Festival's open-air theatre.


Today on Birds Give Back let’s all be the coolest and “play cool at the theatre” … Ewing Theatre, where all the cool kids play…
