Summer 2022 Living Room Tour

Summer Living Room Tour: July 14-16, 2022

Intimate fundraisers in special settings. Always a wonderful time, each of these intimate fundraisers takes place at a special location with unique food, drink and performance. The funds raised support The Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival. Limited space available. Event Co-chairs: Alicia Bird, Kim Ohms and Jackie Zydeck​

Performing Artist: Yael Rasooly

We are thrilled to announce Yael Rasooly as the Summer Living Room Tour performing artist! An Israeli director, puppeteer and multidisciplinary performer, you may remember her singing at the 2019 Festival’s opening night party or her hysterical show Papercut or her late night cabaret performance in the lounge. 

She is a fan favorite to be sure, an evening not to be missed!
