Fondly Do We Hope: Lincoln's Legacy Through Song & Dance

The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company's "Fondly Do We Hope...Fervently Do We Pray" is making its world premiere in Chicago.

"Fondly Do We Hope" showcases Tony award-winning dancer Bill T. Jones' interpretation of the many complexities and contributions of Abraham Lincoln, as told through interpretative dance and song. The performance will examine Lincoln's legacy and "will expose the great distance between what is and what could have been."

The show will be held at Ravinia Festival in Highland Park, Sept. 17 and 19, 2009, at 8pm; gates open at 5pm. Reserved tickets are from $25-$65; lawn tickets are $10 and can be purchased through Ravinia or by calling 847-266-5100.
