For those of you who missed the 2/15 CAF member event at The Yard with Gordon Gill, you have another opportunity.  We’ll be touring The Yard and Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier with Chris Plevin, Director of Production, who worked closely with Smith & Gill and Andy Hales of Charcoalblue, the company that designed the towers.  Half of the tour will be with Chris in The Yard and the other half will be with fellow docents, Maurice Champagne and Sabra Goldman, touring backstage in the Shakespeare theater.

This link is a short video showing the flexibility of the 9 towers in The Yard.  It’s an amazing space – and very cost effective due to the air caster technology used to move the towers.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuDPCaaISDo
