Hey all. If you all haven't read about it, Eastlight theatre in East Peoria will be welcoming Chairman of the NEA (Obama appointed) Rocco Landesman to a special production of RENT this Friday, November 6. He will be kicking off a tour to cities across the country, raising awareness of the importance of the arts in stimulating the economy and revitalizing the cities in which they operate. Below is an article from the New York Times regarding his visit to Eastlight:

Also, below is a link to a PSA I created to publicize his visit and the importance of funding the local arts. Thought it was relevant for Springfield's thriving Arts community as well!
