A DREAM OF ARABIA is privileged to be featured on ABC's Chicagoing with Bill Campbell.  The entire 30 minute program will highlight our show, how it all started, the importance of it, and will preview many clips from the live performance.  We also had Leslie, from the Dominican University Center for the Performing Arts, join for a couple of segments to talk about the work they are doing to accommodate our traveling caravan!  Coincidentally, the studio where the program is filmed is the same studio where the Oprah Show went national back in 1987.  Also, the air date coincides with the 19th anniversary of the program.  It seems it was all meant to be. 

For anyone from Chicago, being interviewed by Bill Campbell is a true honor.  He has been a Chicago figure for almost thirty years and is a highly respected media figure.  I was thrilled to meet him and he was as kind and welcoming as can be - he actually is the real deal.  Also, it seems he has taken a real interest in A DREAM OF ARABIA, its importance, and timeliness of the show.  After the taping, we all stayed for a while chatting and getting to know each other better.  I have a feeling Bill and I will be friends for a long time.  It is an inside job after all! 

 The show airs on June 8 at 11 AM on ABC 7.  Here is the link to the site:

Many thanks to Leslie for joining the program, Kristin (my publicist) for bringing it all together, Billy (our stylist) for making us look great, and Rosalind (our make-up artist) for ensuring we won't make people run in fear from their TV screens (I think she did such a good job nobody will recognize us)!
