Tickets on sale now!

The Living Room Tour events are intimate fundraisers in special settings. Always a wonderful time, each event takes place at a unique, private location. Your ticket includes drinks, dinner, dessert and a puppetry performance that will astonish and delight!

This Fall’s Living Room Tour brings us Behold, Where Stands the Usurper’s Curséd Head, a sardonic sendup of Macbeth written by celebrated Chicago playwright Mickle Maher. We find ourselves in a final scene from Macbeth performed brilliantly by Samuel Taylor as a short puppet play.
