You never know who you might see!


When the Light Opera Works box office recommends one of our Dining Partners it’s not just because they’re donors.

Well, okay, it is because they’re donors. But we went to them in the first place because these are actually our favorite places to eat.

The cast and crew of Camelot have been enjoying a giant bag of fresh organic cherries from Whole Foods Evanston at every rehearsal this month. You never know—you might find some (cherries, that is, but cast and crew as well!) at the Opening Night Reception, because Whole Foods Evanston is providing the food. (To find out how you can attend, go to our Donations page.)

You’ll spot Production Associate Kyle Dougan at Dixie Kitchen. It’s his favorite restaurant; he always takes his out-of-town family and friends there.

If you want to run into General Manager Bridget McDonough, just pop into the Globe CafĂ© on Orrington Street—you might see her having lunch with one of our angels.

Everyone on staff still likes to make a Sandwich Wednesday run to Rollin’ To Go, in our old neighborhood on Noyes Street in Evanston. Development consultant Xan Nelson can be seen in there as well, as she is addicted to their White Chicken Chili.

Drop into any of our Dining Partners and don't forget to mention Light Opera Works for discounts and special offers. Evanston is packed with great food, right around the corner from the theater! (And there are more all the time, so keep checking back.)

Where do you like to eat before the show?

Where to eat before our shows

Well, that's easy! Several Evanston restaurants are Light Opera Works Dining Partners through their support of our programs.

And some of them offer discounts for theater goers. On show days, show your ticket or ticket stub to the following Evanston restaurants for a discount on your dining!

More than just Great Music Great Stories and Great Shows

Light Opera Works also offers great deals to our patrons who want to eat out before or after the show!

While we can't send you to Maxim's with Gigi and Gaston (picture) , we can introduce you to our Dining Partners just a few short blocks from Cahn Auditorium. These terrific Light Opera Works supporters also offer you, the patron, great deals—like a 15% discount with your ticket stubs at Prairie Moon, or 20% off on performance days at Trattoria Demi on Sherman Street in Downtown Evanston. Or you might think about joining us on New Year's Eve at Oceanique for exquisite 4-star pre-show dining.

Our restaurant partners are active sponsors, providing financial support for our programs. When you dine at one of these restaurants you help provide a direct financial benefit to Light Opera Works.

Our other Dining partners include Quince, Trattoria D.O.C. on Main Street, Lulu's dim sum & then sum, and Campagnola, all in Evanston.
