<p>Chicago is pretty fabulous for theater students. My son went to “Once” for free yesterday, got $15 tix to Ballet West on Sunday, saw “Spamalot” the week before for cheap, too. Also, it seems like the kids work, not just after school but during. They got to see “Spamalot” because somebody’s “big” was in it. (My son is at Roosevelt/CCPA. Feel free to PM me if you want to put your son in touch with mine.) DePaul, CCPA and Columbia are all within a 3-4 block radius,</p>
