During 2018, the state of Illinois has been celebrating its 200^th anniversary. In honor of the celebration, Summer Place Theatre kicked of their 2018 season with a musical revue called “By Thy Rivers Gently Flowing,” a light-hearted history of the state told through song. Since the spring show debuted, the Summer Place Singers have continued to perform “By Thy Rivers” at senior residences and other venues. In September, they will be traveling to Ottawa, Illinois to compete for the Omni Prize for the Arts.

A few select pieces of the set for Bleacher Bums is available for sale at great prices. Take a look!
