Sunday's edition of the Daily Herald featured some kind words from staff writer Lenore Adkins.
Says she:
...Elgin play’s backdrop gives it a trendy feel.
I don’t know if you’ve been to see the
Janus Theater Company’s latest
production, “Life X 3,” inside the new
Elgin Art Showcase in the Professional
Building, but if you haven’t, you should
totally check it out.
My friend, Elisabeth Carrel, a copy editor
at the Daily Herald, and I took in a sneak preview
of the show a day before its official release. A party
followed afterward in the green room that featured
champagne, cider and dozens of pastries.
Anyway, I must say the new performance
space is phenomenal, with sweeping views of
downtown Elgin. And the play, set in a Paris
apartment, included those views in the backdrop
that, to me, made the production all the more realistic.
As I told Elgin Mayor Ed Schock, who also
was there with his wife Karen, the open view gave
the apartment a trendy loft feel. You should
definitely check it out for yourselves.
Adkins was one of many people that made it to the "sneak preview" night. Her comments were welcome and she's right. The space has a trendy feel, but more importantly, it gives off an urban atmosphere, reminiscent of what you would find in Chicago or even New York. Definitely a new jewel in Elgin's downtown revival.
