Rainforest 2

Another Shakespeare the Park Triumph with Rainforest’s telling of The Tragedy of Macbeth!

Rainforest's very own Ms. Ally, the director behind many of your children’s recent Rainforest shows, is performing in a show of her own! All month, starting this weekend, she will be starring in the theatrical rendition of the book "Dragons Love Tacos" at the Big Noise Theatre in Des Plaines. The show is meant for a preschool aged audience, and we know Ms. Ally will make it a memorable show for everyone.
Here is a link to the event: https://bignoise.org/shows/2024/dragons-love-tacos
If you’re looking for something fun to do this month, please consider taking the family to a show that is guaranteed to be a lot of fun!

Our 2023 Winter show was a wonderful time for everyone. Thank you all for coming to support our talented performers!

Happy 20 years of Rainforest!
On this day (July 7th) in 2003, Rainforest officially welcomed our first students through its doors. In the years since there have been thousands more. You have all meant so much to us and it was such a thrilling and heartwarming experience to see so many of you again at our anniversary party.
Thank you to everyone who made the last two decades of Rainforest such a magical experience for us.

It’s been a wonderfully fun summer so far at Rainforest! Here are some photos from this season’s Shakespeare in the Park. As always, all of our performers did a fantastic job. We can’t wait to see them back on stage in their next production!
Have a safe and happy 4th of July and we’ll see you on Wednesday!

Our 2023 Spring Art Show was a MAGICAL experience for everyone. Our students had a fantastic time charming you all with their artistic creations.

The Rainforest beatniks at our last poetry slam really moved us all with their poetic skills. The whole party was a gas! Thanks to all you cool cats who joined in on the fun, we can’t wait to see you again at the next one!

We had so much fun performing our winter show this year and we hope you and yours are all enjoying the wonderful holiday season together!

Nobody gets to show off their creative fashion style quite like the students at Rainforest. As always, our 2022 fashion show did not disappoint.
Thank you to everyone who attended the most spectacular runway event in town and congratulations to all our young models and designers!

We hope you're all as excited about the new school year as we are. We have some exciting events coming up soon, but first here are photos from this summer's Shakespeare!

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our 2022 Spring Art Show!
We loved celebrating with you in our very own tropical Hawaiian paradise. We hope you all enjoyed sharing in the festivities and gazing upon the creations of our talented young artists. We can’t wait to celebrate with you again soon!
Aloha!

Rainforest Staff are running the Shamrock Shuffle!
We're running (and occasionally walking) the streets of Chicago next weekend to raise money for a good cause.
Two years ago, all of us trained to do this race together, only to see the pandemic shut it down just days before it was scheduled to take place. Now, 24 fun-filled COVID months later, the race is back on, and we’re picking up right where we left off.
Everyone is invited to come cheer on our amazing teachers as they race to raise money for an organization we're proud to support, Almost Home Kids Care.
Almost Home Kids provides care, training and support to families with children requiring special care when they transition from the ICU to their homes.
Here is a link about this organization and the great work that they do www.almosthomekids.org

If you are interested in making a small donation towards Rainforest’s racing team and the cause they’re running for, all of us would be extremely grateful. We’ve set a school wide fundraising goal and everyone who makes a contribution, however small, is a huge help towards helping us reach it.
Here is a link to our team page along with a link to donate for anyone interested:
