We are thrilled to announce that Under the Streetlamp featuring the recent stars of Chicago's Jersey Boys will be performing at this year's Gala!  These incredible performers have been playing to sold-out houses throughout the country and each carries with him an impressive list of credits. Between them, they have been featured on Broadway, in feature films, and on your television - including special appearances during their Jersey Boys tenure on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Primetime Emmy Awards, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Under the Streetlamp offers the rare opportunity to get to know these stars of stage and screen as they relate hilarious and touching stories of a life lived in show business. Complete with an orchestra comprised of world-class jazz musicians, this is one evening of rock and roll you won't want to miss! Join Michael Ingersoll, Shonn Wiley, Michael Cunio, and Christopher Kale Jones - the four stars of the Chicago Production of Jersey Boys- for an intimate concert evening to raise funds for Catholic Charities Emergency Services Programs.
