Please join us for Do Tell! An Event to Benefit the Evanston Dance Ensemble. Hear true stories from the lives of our storytellers … true stories, yes, although perhaps sprinkled with the embellishments, exaggerations, and creative reconstruction of lapsed memories that we all use every day.
Our storytellers range in experience from first-timers to long-time professionals and all will draw you in as they engage in this age-old practice of sharing, entertaining, and community building.
The Evanston Dance Ensemble’s mission is to create inventive performances and programs of the highest quality, to nurture the power and artistry of talented young dancers, and to reflect the diversity of our community by fostering inclusivity, collaboration, and creative expression.
