Online ordering will close on *Wednesday, August 25*; after that, tickets will be $15 cash only, at the theater box office only on the night of the show. Order now at our website, and check out photos some of the great items that will be on offer at our silent/live auction at the show!

If you’re already planning on coming and can bring along a thing or two to help one of our charities, we have a new Wish List from The House of the Good Shepherd for our drive this year at our Can’t Stop the Serenity event.  All the details can be found at our Local Charity page.

Thank you, and hope to see you at the Portage!

CSTS Chicago

We have a new Wish List from The House of the Good Shepherd for our drive this year at our Can’t Stop the Serenity event on August 28, 2010.

Because The House has lost some funding, they really need Gift Cards from the following:

• Jewel
• Target
• K-Mart
• McDonald’s
• CTA Transit Cards

Additionally, the following are needed:

• Diapers: sizes 4, 5 & 6
• Baby Wipes

Lastly: Do you have a used cell phone lying around collecting dust?  Donate it to House of the Good Shepherd! You can dispose of your old cell phone responsibly while you help fund our violence recovery program.  We partner with a national organization that recycles old cell phones and pays us for each one we send them.  The cell phone you no longer need can support House of the Good Shepherd and similar programs all around the country.

We’ll be collecting these items by the door and we’ll give you an extra ticket for our prize giveaways.

The House of the Good Shepherd greatly appreciates everything generous Browncoats have donated in the past few years.
