Joliet Drama Guild, in partnership with the City of Joliet, is thrilled to their inaugural Shakespeare in the Parks tour with&nbsp;Love's Labour's Lost!&nbsp;
Join Co-Directors Aaron Flynn and Jake Thomas as we bring Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy to life in multiple parks across the City of Joliet. All free admission! Seating is outdoors, so bring blankets and lawn chairs for seating. First performance will be on the Park's bandshell.
Love’s Labour’s Lost&nbsp;follows the King of Navarre and his three companions as they swear an oath to devote themselves to study for three years — and, during that time, to avoid the company of women. Their resolve is immediately tested with the arrival of the Princess of France and her three ladies-in-waiting. Add in mixed-up letters, forbidden love, and mistaken identities, and you have all the ingredients for a hilariously clever comedy.
This fresh production sets Shakespeare’s beautiful language against a late 90s/early 2000s backdrop — transforming the King and his gentlemen into a boy band and the Princess into a pop diva with her three backup dancers. Come ready to show off your best 90s dance moves and dust off those JNCO jeans hiding in the back of your closet!
Additional dates &amp; locations (bring lawn chairs and blankets):
June 27 at TBA&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Joliet City Center

Hope, healing & justice for abused children.

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.
