Gail L Tyler Thanks to the cast and crew of Songs of Good Cheer, and to the 1200 audience members who create this uniquely Old Town School Experience. This year's 11th edition raised $25,000 for the McCormick Tribune Holiday Fund - $37,500 if you count Foundation matching - and a little bit for the Old Town School as well!

Laura Mickey Greenberg and a falling keyboard gave me the greatest belly laugh last night. Thank you for that.
