As President of the Partnership for Inspired Education (PIE) Foundation and the District 88 Board of Education, I would like to invite you to join us for an evening of entertainment, dining and fun on March 11 at Drury Lane.
The event is our annual fundraiser, and proceeds will benefit students in DuPage County school districts 4, 45, 48 and 88. The evening will feature a performance of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” dinner and an auction with sports memorabilia, tickets to events, jewelry and other unique items. There also will be a “Win-Win” raffle with gift certificates and a “Big Raffle” with several items of high value. Below is more information about the fundraiser.

* NOTE: We want to make sure you’re aware this version of “Joseph” differs from the traditional show. I’ve personally seen the Drury Lane version and found it to be very artistic and entertaining, but I encourage you to come with an open mind. Drury Lane advises this interpretation includes mature/adult content and “absurd scenes that make sense in a dreamlike setting.”
