This past week the group kicked off a party with savory snacks and martinis, hosted by WGN’s Dean Richards, at Columbia College. The Dance for Life documentary was partially screened for attendees and tickets were offered for early purchasing.

The upcoming performance is Aug. 20 at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University, 50 E. Congress. For information and tickets visit http://www.danceforlifechicago.com.
