We had a great preview of “Snow Days and Plane Delays” at the Dawes Elementary School for District 65 on Wednesday. A couple of late buses meant that the mimes got to have an in-depth workshop with the kids where they played with imaginary motors and blenders before the show. Judging from the response, we’d say the favorite pieces from the show were “Carolers,” “The Kite,” “Xmas Lights,” and “The Mall,” which has been updated to a full-ensemble holiday shopping piece. Then we drove on over to the Walt Disney Magnet school to do a workshop and performance with students while their parents learned about initiatives for literacy. The kids there went crazy for “The Chair!”

What’s more, we’ve been featured in Steadstyle Chicago–find our listing below:

That’s all for now, but we’re getting geared up for what is looking like a fantastic show!
