May we have your attention please!

Today our Executive Director is celebrating 11 years in the GiGi’s Playhouse community! Shannon began her journey looking for work that was meaningful, she took a role at GiGi’s National office, she brought joy and a get it done attitude with her! These traits continued to grow and the Deerfield Playhouse was so lucky when she decided to join the team and help open our doors! We continue to grow and impact our community under her leadership!

Please help us celebrate Shannon! Drop a favorite memory in the comments and extra points if you have a favorite picture 😆

Shannon you are so adored! Thank you!

We completely understand how scary a doctors appointment or test can be, and want to help things go as smoothly as possible!

Join us at GiGi's Playhouse Deerfield on June 13th at 12:00pm for our Teddy Bear Clinic with students from Rosalind Franklin University! Bring your favorite stuffed friend or doll to the Teddy Bear Clinic for a day of fun and care! Participants can help their cuddly companions get a check-up, a bandage, or a special teddy-sized treatment from our friendly healthcare heroes.

With plenty of smiles, imagination, and hands-on activities, it's a playful way to help children feel comfortable around medical visits while making sure every teddy gets lots of TLC! While registration is not required, it is helpful for us to make a schedule of who is being seen and when! Visit our calendar on our website to register today!

We are excited to share a board member spotlight and introduce Nikki, one of our very involved board members for GiGi’s Playhouse, and an amazing part of our team!

Nikki has a strong background as a financial consultant and CPA for DLC Inc. In her free time, she also works for different fitness activities such as strength training, barre, and her favorite - pole sport!

Nikki began at GiGi’s by getting connected through BNI as an employee there mentioned volunteering for some events here at GiGi’s to her. Beginning to volunteer at GiGi’s meant a lot to Nikki as her uncle has Down syndrome and she saw firsthand the positive impact programs like GiGi’s can have on individuals with disabilities and their families! She then began as a volunteer for our annual gala for the past three years and as of this November, she is now a member of our board helping us with many different areas of our playhouse.

Come meet Nikki at our new summer class, GiGiFIT Adult, for a special pop-up class THIS THURSDAY, June 4th at 7:15pm after Fantastic Friends! Starting June 14th, GiGiFIT Adult will take place on Sundays at 1pm! Fit will be fun with Nikki! Don't miss out! https://gigisplayhouse.org/deerfield/sfcalendar/

🎭 Meet Jacob!

We’re thrilled to introduce Jacob, the creative force behind our brand-new Drama & Improv class at GiGi's Playhouse Deerfield. It is already off to an exciting start this week!

Jacob brings an incredible mix of talent, passion, and experience. Originally from Grayslake, he holds a BA in Film, Television, and Theatre from Notre Dame and an MBA from Vanderbilt. He spent years as a professional actor, performing in 30+ regional musical theatre productions across the country, and has taught acting and musical theatre to students of all ages through theatre companies and nonprofits.

Beyond the stage, Jacob has worked as a management consultant focusing on healthcare and HR. When he is not working, you might find him training for Ironman triathlons, playing piano, clarinet, or sax, baking his favorite biscotti, traveling, or spending time with family and friends.

Now he is bringing all that energy and creativity to Drama Troupe. Drama Troupe Adult will meet on alternate Thursdays from GiGi’s Kitchen Adult and Fantastic Friends, so there is always something fun to look forward to.

Come laugh, create, and shine with Jacob. We cannot wait to see you there!

Join Jacob at the next Drama Troupe Adult on May 21st. https://ow.ly/OYIP50Z1Fsk
