Proeh and her troupers drew more applause

The Lake Forest Children’s Theatre Company not only gives every child a chance to star, it helps other kids by supporting the fight against pediatric brain tumors. This year, the troupe performed “Bye Bye Birdie” in January and “Oliver” in May. As in previous years, the company donated a portion of show ticket sales to The Foundation. With the two performances in 2003, the curtain will rose on $2,400 in generous contributions. “What is equally important as how the kids perform,” said Margo Proeh, the enthusiastic theatre director, “is how much they gain by participating and helping out.”
