“District 65 drama teachers were sent a video that introduced the students to the Me..Jane story and to Northwestern. The tour took them backstage to meet Collins and Journey Cole, the assistant director, plus a peek at rehearsals, the set designs and the show’s costumes. The video features Nolan Robinson, a Northwestern graduate who grew up and attended school K-12 in Evanston.” — Wendi Kromash, Evanston Roundtable
