HAVE YOU SEEN THESE ALDERMEN?

Nope, neither have we. These folks are invited, free, to every opening night here at Next Theatre Company. Alderman Jean-Baptiste, in fact, never even returned our calls requesting a meeting four years ago; he's been invited to various Next Theatre Company programs and plays a combined total of 25 times. I think it's time for a response from him, don't you?

You can ask these Aldermen why they don't support Next Theatre:

Lionel Jean-Baptiste: ljean-baptiste@cityofevanston.org
Melissa Wynne: mwynne@cityofevanston.org
Delores Holmes: dholmes@cityofevanston.org

(One disclaimer: these folks have never attended Next Theatre under their own names; if any of them have attended as guests of other folks, we don't know about it and would like to hear from them!)

On the other hand, here is The Evanston Hall of Fame:

Mayor Lorraine Morton: a frequent attendee and advisor to the theater
Alderman Cheryl Wollin: a subscriber and supporter to the theater, and dear friend
Alderman Liz Tisdahl: a subscriber, hugely generous supporter and pal-at-the-gym

The Aldermen on the Cusp!

Alderman Steve Bernstein: though we don't see his name on our attendee list (bad, Steve, bad!), he met with us a few years back and has been supportive on the council
Alderman Ed Moran: again, how come you haven't come to the theater? But at least you've made a donation... now come join us!
Alderman Ann Rainey: Ann always thinks of us when there's development in her district (yay, Ann!), but how come we haven't seen you in the theater?
Alderman Anjana Hansen: new to the council, Anjana attended a show last season, and we want her back! Come visit!
