The Ranch

Create magic this season at Believe ✨
Growing up with four sisters probably drained my parents on a daily basis: emotionally, physically, and even financially.

We didn't get everything we asked for. We wore hand-me-downs, and got two pairs of shoes every school year. One for everyday school and a pair of gym shoes.

But when it came to Christmas, Mom and Dad made sure it was magical.

From Gram’s Christmas Eve Polish feast, to presents straight out of the pages of the Sears Wishbook, and all the way through to Christmas morning, when Santa arrived overnight and brought us every Fisher-Price toy and Barbie doll, car, home and outfit there was.

It wasn't just the gifts that made that time of year the very best. It was being with my whole family: aunts, uncles, Gram and my cousins. The joking, the laughing, playing games with our new haul, and just being together. That's what mattered most, then and now.

This year I'm putting all those feelings into a single Christmas event and sharing it with you, so your family can create the memories your kids will still love, even 50 years later.

Your Visit to Believe · Sunday, November 8 · The Ranch in Frankfort
<ul><li>Santa's Wonderland: Before meeting Santa, the kids craft, shop and sip hot chocolate.</li></ul>

<ul><li>The Stone Fireplace: A cozy stone fireplace, decked out for the holidays, sets the scene for your family portraits.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Santa's Front Porch: In the barn, on a fully decorated country front porch, the kids meet the BEST Santa: authentic, jolly and a true professional. Every moment is captured for the sweetest portraits.</li></ul>

<ul><li>The Ranch "Reindeer": We finish with a visit to the Ranch's gentle donkeys, wearing their antlers.</li></ul>

You get all the magic of the season, plus portraits you'll revisit and treasure every single year at Christmastime.

Make this year a new tradition, and create unforgettable memories at Believe — A Santa Experience on November 8.

The Baer Theater at Morgan Park Academy, 2153 W 111th St, Chicago, IL, 60643

Open Auditions Announced for&nbsp;Beverly Theatre Guild’s Production of To Kill a Mockingbird
Chicago, IL: The Beverly Theatre Guild (BTG) is delighted to announce auditions for its 64th season winter play, To Kill a Mockingbird. Frequently ranked within the top 10 of the American Library Association’s most-banned book list, this contentious story grapples with racial prejudice, gender-based violence, and how to raise children to be empathetic and morally courageous. The courtroom drama is scheduled to be performed on February 19th, 20th, and 21st at the Baer Theater at Morgan Park Academy, home of BTG.
To Kill a Mockingbird will be directed by Mary Lee Hoganson (Homewood), a veteran director with our friends over at The Drama Group in Chicago Heights, and debut director with BTG. Hoganson was also the first woman to serve as The Drama Group Board President. In the role of assistant director, we have Sterlin Johnson (Chicago). After shining brightly onstage for multiple BTG productions, including as Jesus in BTG’s 2024 production of Godspell, this will be Mr. Johnson’s first time serving in an artistic team role with us. We congratulate Mr. Johnson on recently earning his Master of Arts in Education with a Major in English from Northeastern Illinois University. This powerful story will be produced by highly-involved BTG members Morgan Ayres (Palos Heights) and Gail Lauryn (Beverly). Ms. Ayres was in the cast of every single one of BTG’s shows last season while also juggling the responsibilities of being the Business Manager for the guild. Mrs. Lauryn most recently assistant directed BTG’s 2024 production of Present Laughter and is no stranger to producing, having been a member of BTG for over twenty years.
Auditions are scheduled for mid-November. Children's auditions will be held on Sunday, November 15th from 5 PM to 6:30 PM. Auditions for adults will be Sunday, November 15th from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM and Tuesday, November 17th from 7 PM to 9:30 PM at the Baer Theater at Morgan Park Academy, 2153 West 111th Street in Chicago. Callbacks will be held on Thursday, November 19th. Detailed information, character descriptions, and the sign-up schedule can be found at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/ksdui" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/ksdui</a>.
The Beverly Theatre Guild is Chicago’s longest running community theatre company. BTG shows are performed at the Baer Theater, a 425-seat venue with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, located at 2153 West 111th Street on the campus of the Morgan Park Academy.

Will County Children's Advocacy Center

The Will County Children's Advocacy Center was founded in 1995 by State's Attorney James Glasgow to partner with multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) comprised of law enforcement, DCFS investigators, medical personnel, prosecutors, and Will County CAC forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists in response to reports of severe physical abuse, sexual abuse, commercial exploitation, neglect, and exposure to violence of children, in Will County, IL. Our Will County CAC intake/MDT coordinator, forensic interviewers, family advocates, and trauma therapists provide the following services: * Forensic Interviews: After a child is referred to the Will County CAC by law enforcement or the IL Dept. of Family Services (DCFS), our Intake Coordinator schedules a forensic interview for the child. One of our 4 forensic interviewers listens to the child’s story and asks non-leading, developmentally-appropriate questions as the child talks about the trauma he/she has experienced. Law enforcement, prosecution, DCFS, and mental health professionals observe the interview from a separate room. This reduces trauma for the child and provides a stronger foundation if the case goes to court. * Family Advocacy: Our family advocates are committed to helping each family navigate the complex systems that a family enters when a child makes an outcry of abuse. As each case goes through the investigation, prosecution and healing process, the team is there to help the family understand the process, learn about their rights and successfully access resources that will help their family during crisis. * Trauma-Focused Therapy: Our team of licensed clinical social workers provide short-term, trauma informed therapy to children who have received a forensic interview. Since child abuse affects the whole family, the services are available at no cost to both the child and their non-offending family members. Individual and group therapy is offered in English and Spanish.
